The engine was used in many small to medium Nissan vehicles, including high-performanceturbochargedvariants. It was designed by Nissan as a replacement of the earlierCAseries of engines, and was replaced by theQRandMRseries of engines.

SR16VE

edit
Nissan SR16VE engine

The 1.6 L (1,596 cc)SR16VEhasNissan'sNeo VVLvariable valve timingwith lift control. It produces 175 PS (129 kW; 173 hp) at 7800 rpm and 119 lb⋅ft (161 N⋅m) at 7200 rpm. Redline is at 8300 rpm. Bore and stroke is 86 mm × 68.7 mm (3.39 in × 2.70 in) with a 11.0:1 compression ratio.

This engine was never used on theUSDMcounterpart of the B14 Lucino, theB14 Nissan 200SX,as it uses the 1.6 LGA16DEand 2.0 L SR20DE engines instead.

It is used in the following vehicles:

SR16VE N1

edit

This version was used in the limited-productionPulsarVZ-R N1, produced from 1997 to 1998. These cars were tuned byAutechJapan. It made 200 PS (197 hp; 147 kW) at 7800 rpm and 134 lb⋅ft (182 N⋅m) at 7600 rpm. Redline of the N1 Version 2 (1998) is at 8600 rpm. This is also claimed to be the most powerful production 1.6 Lnaturally aspirated engine.[citation needed]

SR18Di

edit

TheSR18Diis a 1.8 L (1,838 cc) DOHC engine. It produces 110 PS (108 hp; 81 kW) at 6500 rpm and 150 N⋅m (111 lb⋅ft) at 4000 rpm. Based on theSingle Point Fuel Injectionsystem, it was installed on JDM cars and some UK versions. This model used some cast iron blocks and it was used on the P10 generationNissan Primera,but due to the low overall power this engine option was dropped on the next generation.

This engine was never used on theUSDMcounterpart of the P10/11 Primera, theInfiniti G20,as it uses the 2.0 L SR20DE engine instead.

It is used in the following vehicles:

SR18DE

edit

TheSR18DEis a 1.8 L (1,838 cc) DOHC engine. It produces 125 PS (123 hp; 92 kW) at 6000 rpm and 156 N⋅m (115 lb⋅ft) at 4800 rpm. This engine came with Multi Point Fuel Injection System ECCS (Electronic Concentrated Control System). The SR18DE crankshaft was produced with four fewer counterweights than the SR20DE variants, which have eight, for lighter weight and betterfuel efficiency.These lightweight crankshafts were also homologated for use in the Japanese N2 Silvia racing program and later used in theSR20VEengine.

This engine was never used on theUSDMcounterpart of the P10/11 Primera, theInfiniti G20,as it uses the 2.0 L SR20DE engine instead.

It is used in the following vehicles:

SR20Di

edit

TheSR20Diis a 2.0 L (1,998 cc) DOHC engine. It produces 116 PS (114 hp; 85 kW). Bore and stroke are 86 mm × 86 mm (3.39 in × 3.39 in). Similar to the 1.8 liter version except for bigger displacement with a throttle body injection system.

This engine was never used on theUSDMcounterpart of the P10/11 Primera, theInfiniti G20,as it uses the 2.0 L SR20DE engine instead.

It is used in the following vehicles:

SR20DE

edit

TheSR20DEis a 2.0 L (1,998 cc) DOHC engine. It was used in over 15 Nissan models, first appearing in the U12Bluebirdin October 1989. It was gradually phased out over time with the introduction of the low-emissionsQRengine family in 2000, until production stopped in 2002. It carried nominal power ratings between 125–165 hp (127–167 PS; 93–123 kW) from the factory, although there are some Autech models with horsepower ratings of between 175 and 200 hp depending on the chassis and degrees of tuning.

  • SR- Engine
  • 20- 2.0 Litres
  • D- Dual Overhead Cams
  • E- Electronic Fuel Injection
