QG16DE
The QG16DE is a 1.6 L (1,597 cc) straight 4-cylinder engine with Double Over Head
Camshafts with 16 valves. The cylinder head also features Nissan Variable Cam
Timing (N-VCT) and micro-polished camshafts. A new water pump assembly has been
designed for the QG16DE; the design is based on the water pump from the GA16DE, the
changes made it more efficient and reliable than its predecessor. The engine

QG18DE
The 1.8 L (1,769 cc) QG18DE was designed for Nissan by Aichi Machine Industry,
Japan. It is manufactured both in Japan and the Mexican city of Aguascalientes.
Bore and stroke is 80 mm � 88 mm (3.15 in � 3.46 in). The engine is tuned to
achieve most of its torque at low revs at the expense of raw power at high revs,
making the engine very responsive in day-to-day driving. It has a cast-iron engine
block, aluminum DOHC cylinder head, uses Multi-port fuel injection, forged-steel
connecting rods, two single-piece cast camshafts and a cast-aluminum intake
manifold. It also features N-VCT (Nissan's Valve Timing Control technology). This
engine received the RJC Technology of The Year Award of 2001.[3]

Specifications

Displacement - 1.8 L (1,769 cc)

Layout - DOHC Inline-4 (Straight-4) with VVT tech (called NVTC).
Valves - 16, 4 for each cylinder
Power - 115 hp (86 kW) to 128 hp (95 kW) at 6000 rpm
Torque - 122 lb�ft (165 N�m) to 130 lb�ft (176 N�m) at 2800 rpm
Redline - 6500 rpm
Fuel Delivery System - electronic fuel injection
Fuel compression ratio - 9.5:1
Emissions Control Devices

OBDII - On-board Diagnostic System (codes can be read/erased by a variety of

readers, e.g. Actron blaZt). Nissan Pulsar N16 Models without EuroOBD in Australia
do not have OBDII.
EGR - Exhaust Gas Recirculation
HO2S - (4) Oxygen Sensors (2 before exhaust catalyst, 2 after) - note a series 2
1.8l has only 2 O2 sensors: 1 pre-catalytic-converter and 1 downstream from it.
TWC - Three Way Catalyst (2 in exhaust manifold, 1 under car).
EVAP - Charcoal Evaporative Purge Canister.
Ignition Timing: 9 degrees BTDC (can be altered +/- 2 degrees using CONSULT-II
handheld diagnostic tester, e.g. blaZt).
Knock Sensor - located on engine block; retards timing if pinging/detonation is
detected.
Heated Throttle Body - heated by engine coolant.
