Hi can anyone tell me what vehicles does this engine come from ??? I've installed a Nissan Naps-Z 2.2 litre engine and a 5 foward gear box into my car and I was wondering what nissan vehicle they came from. I want to think it came from a Pickup or something like that because its a very rugged engine and it has loads of power. And can anyone point me to a supplier that I can get after market parts for it, Racing parts that is.......like cams, lightweight flyweels, copper clutch etc..........thanks anyone

If memory serves, it is a derivitive of the L series engines.It was used in trucks and rear wheel drive passenger cars such as the 200sx,For parts, try Nismo, Nissan's motorsports division.

My first Nissan truck was the 720 (1984 K/C 5 speed with the 4 cylinder Napz (2 plugs per cylinder) what a great engine. It was not the fastest engine Nissan made by a long shot, but it had a lot of muscle for hauling. Again, mine was very dependable. After I sold it in 1995 it ran great. Now I have a 1995 Hardbody V6 again no complaints.

My very first car was a 1982 200SX hatchback with a Z22E dual-plug NAPS-Z engine. It had over 225K on it when I sold it.

I had an 86 hardbody with a NAPZ and dual spark plugs. It made gobs of torque. That engine made far more power than my 95 KA24E does, at least seems like.
