Nissan SR16VE engine
It is used in the following vehicles:

N15 Nissan Pulsar VZ-R


B14 Nissan Lucino VZ-R
B15 Nissan Sunny VZ-R

SR16VE N1
This version was used in the limited-production Pulsar VZ-R N1,
produced from 1997 to 1998. These cars were tuned by Autech Japan. 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 L naturally aspirated
engine.

SR18Di
The SR18Di is 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 the Single Point Fuel Injection system, it was installed on JDM
cars and some UK versions. This model used some cast iron blocks and it
was used on the P10 generation Nissan Primera, but due to the low
overall power this engine option was dropped on the next generation.

This engine was never used on the USDM counterpart the In�niti G20.

It is used in the following vehicles:

1990-1993 Nissan Primera


Nissan Sunny
Nissan Bluebird U12
Nissan Avenir W10

SR18DE
The SR18DE is 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 better fuel e�ciency. These
lightweight crankshafts were also homologated for use in the Japanese
N2 Silvia racing program and later used in the SR20VE engine.

It was used in the following vehicles;

1991-1997 Nissan Primera


Nissan Sunny
Nissan Avenir W10

SR20Di
The SR20Di is 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.

It is used in the following vehicles:

1991–1994.6 Nissan Primera


1992- 1995 Nissan Silvia

SR20DE
The Nissan SR20DE engine was used SR20DE engine from a 2001 Infiniti
in over 15 Nissan models. It �rst G20.
appeared in October 1989, and over
time it was gradually phased out with
the introduction of the QR (low-emissions) engine family. The SR20DE
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.

The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:

SR20DET

Origins
The SR20DET was �rst produced in U13 Bluebird SR20DET. (FWD/AWD
the U12 Nissan Bluebird 2000SSS layout)
Attesa in October 1989 [1]
(https://web.archive.org
/web/20070328081220/http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/nissan
/bluebird/1989_10/24020/). From 1990 through to 1994 it was used in
the Nissan Pulsar GTi-R (RNN14) however with a bigger T28 turbo. In
both these cars, the engine is aligned in a transverse fashion.

However, the RWD Nissan Silvia produced from 1988 was built with a
longitudinally aligned SR20DET.

The engine was used in the Nissan Avenir in 1995, the Nissan R'nessa in
1997, and the Nissan Liberty in 1999.

Out of all the Nissan models produced with the SR20DET, the Silvia was
the longest-running model to use it. The S14 and S15 use a bigger
turbocharger than the S13 models.
