The ZMZ-24 was an automobile engine produced by Zavolzhye Engine Factory (Zavolzhye Motorni Zavod, ZMZ) in the Soviet Union.
The ZMZ-24 was an aluminium- block overhead valve (OHV) inline four design, an evolution of the ZMZ-21A, displacing 2,445 cc (149.2 cu in), and in its initial appearance, produced with chain-driven camshaft and compression ratio of 6.6:1; it produced 70 hp (52 kW; 71 PS) at 4,000 rpm and 123 lb⋅ft (167 N⋅m) at 2,200 rpm. [1] It was also produced as the UMZ 4178.10. [2]
It "quickly became the mainstay of the Soviet engine industry", [3] and would be used in a variety of vehicles.
The improved ZMZ-24D, found in the GAZ-24, ran on 92 RON gasoline (while the ZMZ-24-01 could use commonly available 76 octane, and the ZMZ-24-07 could use liquid propane). [4] The cylinder block was die cast, instead of the slower coquille for the 21A. The engine featured a twin-choke carburettor, with a higher compression ratio, producing 95 hp (71 kW; 96 PS) at 4500 rpm and an even more impressive 186 N⋅m (137 ft⋅lbf) of torque at 2200–2400 RPM.
By 1970, the ZMZ-24 had been renamed the ZMZ-402.10, with a lower- compression 4021.10 version, which remained in limited production until 2006. [3] In this format, it was used in the RAF minibus and ErAZ van. [5]
It also served as the basis for the sixteen-valve 131 hp (98 kW; 133 PS) 2,287 cc (139.6 cu in) ZMZ-4062.10 (seen in some Volgas after 1996), the 145 hp (108 kW; 147 PS) 2,463 cc (150.3 cu in) ZMZ-40552.10 (used in GAZ's commercial vehicles), the 2,690 cc (164 cu in) ZMZ-409.10 of the UAZ Patriot, and the ZMZ-5143 diesel all derive from the ZMZ-24.
