oh yea and det is nissans engine code for dual-cam, electronic fuel injection, with turbo. nissan engine codes seem to be the most straight forward. useing a skyline gt-r engine as a example (rb26dett)
most modern nissan engines begin with a two letter prefix, decribing the block style and seires (think rb, ka, sr, vg, etc theres tons)
the second portion tells the displacement of a givin engine. add a decimal point bettween the two numbers to determine displacement in liters. the rb26 would be 2.6 liters, my ka24 would be 2.4 liters
in the cace of rb26dett, the d tells us it is a dohc engine, a v in place of the d (sr20ve) denotes a dohc engine that also uses variable valve lift. if there is neither a d nor v (ca20e) the engine is simply a single-overhead cam beast.
with the advent of fuel injection, this part of the code is easy. an e is for a mill that is electronically fuel injected. rarely used, is an i for throttle body injection, and a d is for direct injection, and no letter here means its a carbed motor. for the most part nissans just use an e
now heres where things get fun, the tt in our sample engine means it's twin-turbo, just like the 300zx (vg30dett). a single t would mean it's a single turbo (ca18det). and no letter t means well no turbo from the factory (ka24de) < the motor i have, it can still be turboed with a aftermarket or homemade setup of some sort, usually on the forums and such if you see something like (ka24de-t) the -t is unofficaly added to the code to indicate a factory non-turbo engine with a turbo added on
