List of Nissan engines

This is a list ofpiston enginesdeveloped byNissan Motors.

Engine naming convention

edit

Nissan uses a straightforward method of naming theirautomobileengines.

The first few letters identify the engine family. The following digits are the displacement indeciliters.Finally, the trailing letters encode the main engine features, and are ordered based on the type of feature. Below is a list of encoded letters, and the engine features they represent. Make note, the first few letters in the engine name that identify the engine family have nothing to do with these encoded letters for the engine features, and should not be confused as such.

Letter Feature Feature type
D DOHC Camshaft
V Variable Valve Lift Camshaft
S Carburetor Fuel delivery
T Twin carburetors (e.g. L16T and L18T) Fuel delivery
i Throttle Body Fuel Injection Fuel delivery
E Multi PortFuel Injection Fuel delivery
D Direct Cylinder Fuel Injection Fuel delivery
N Natural gasfueled Fuel delivery
P LPGfueled Fuel delivery
e Engines specifically built as a power generator for electric motors Power delivery
R Supercharged Power adder
T Turbocharged Power adder
Ti Turbochargedandintercooled Power adder
TT Twin-Turbocharged Power adder
HR High Response and High Revolution Special
K Improvement (fromKaizen) Special

The encoded letters that represent engine features follow a specific order and not all features are necessarily listed all of the time. The basic, common features follow this general order:

[Engine family] [two-digit engine displacement in deciliters] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

1 = Camshaft
2 = Fuel delivery
3 = Power delivery
4 = Power adder
5 = 2nd power adder
6 = Special

A good example to start with is the NissanVG30DETTengine. It belongs to theVG engine family,displaces 30 deciliters (3.0 liters), and the feature letters describe an engine with dual overhead camshafts, electronic port fuel injection and two turbochargers.

The next example is the NissanVQ35DEengine. It belongs to theVQ engine familyand displaces 35 deciliters (3.5 liters). The feature letters describe an engine with dual overhead camshafts and electronic port fuel injection, but leaves off any power adder descriptors because it is a naturally aspirated engine. The (single) turbocharged version of the VQ displaces 30 deciliters (3.0 liters) and is logically called theVQ30DET.

Not all features are necessarily described in the name. For example, theSR20VEengine has dual overhead camshafts, but the variable valve lift design of the camshafts takes precedence in the naming scheme even though the "V" feature designation doesn't necessarily describe a DOHC arrangement. Many standard DOHC Nissan engines featured Variable Valve Timing, such as theVG30DETT,and as such do not use the "V" designation. The "V" designation is applied only if the engine has variable valve lift.

A good example of an engine where not all of the feature designation spots are used is theL28ETengine. The two features listed are electronic port fuel injection designated with the "E" and the presence of a turbocharger designed with the letter "T". The engine has a single overhead camshaft so there is no "D" listed in the name; the camshaft type designation place being left out completely. Nissan does not have a letter designation for the SOHC configuration so the camshaft configuration type is assumed as SOHC if no letter is present.

Another example is theMR16DDTengine, which has feature designations that describe an engine with dual overhead camshafts, direct cylinder fuel injection and a single turbocharger.

Lastly, there are engines built specifically as power generators for electric motors, designated with the lowercase "e". TheHR14DDeengine is a good example of this, as this engine was purposely built for use with theEM57electric motor as a power generator. The feature letters describe it as an engine with dual overhead camshafts, direct cylinder fuel injection with variable valve timing (bear in mind that the "V" designation is not used here, as that is used for variable valve lift) and is used as a power generator for electric motors.
