In 1982 NIssan created a thoroughbred Racing engine developed for Group B Rallying. It originated purely as a racing motor known as the FJ24, to be used in the early Group B 240RS RWD Rally cars. It was a naturally asprated version of the FJ20 with the capacity increase to 2.4litres and made around 177killowatts @ 7200rpm and 235Nm @ 6000rpm torque in earlier model guise(72° cam). Later models were fitted with a more aggressive 76° cam with factory optional dry sump and made 207 kw @ 8000rpm and 264Nm @ 6200rpm torque. The FJ24 is unique among the FJ Family in that it used a Twin Webber carburator fueling setup instead of Electronic fuel injection. The FJ24 also used larger ports, thicker conrods and much shorter pistons which resulted in a very high compression ratio of 11.0:1. This motor was developed soley for the purpose of rallying.
