The QG engines were designed by Nissan's Aichi Kikai division [1] in Japan.

Nissan websites state the QG as standing for "Quality and Green".[2]

QG13DE

edit

The QG13DE is a 1.3 L (1,295 cc) DOHC 16-valve with 4-cylinder. It produces 87 hp (65 kW) at 6000 rpm and 130 N⋅m (96 lb⋅ft) at 4400 rpm. Bore x Stroke= 71 mm × 81.8 mm (2.80 in × 3.22 in)

It is used in the following vehicles:

QG15DE

edit

Water-cooled straight 4 cylinder engine with 1.5 L (1,497 cc) capacity and DOHC control. Bore and stroke are 73.6 mm × 88 mm (2.90 in × 3.46 in). Output is 90 hp (67 kW) at 5600 rpm and 128 N⋅m (94 lb⋅ft) at 2800 rpm and later 105 hp (78 kW) at 6000 rpm and 143 N⋅m (105 lb⋅ft) at 4400 rpm.

This engine is used in:

Power outputs for N16 Almera:

  • '00-'02: 90ps
  • '02-'06: 98ps

QG16DE

edit

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 produces 88 kW (118 hp) at 6000 rpm and 165 N⋅m (122 lb⋅ft) at 4000 rpm. Bore and stroke is 76 mm × 88 mm (2.99 in × 3.46 in).

It is used in the following vehicles:

QG18DD

edit

The 1.8 L direct-injection QG18DD produces 130 hp (97 kW) at 6000 rpm and 174 N⋅m (128 lb⋅ft) at 2800 rpm.

It is used in the following vehicles:

QG18DE

edit

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.

The QG18DE is used in the following vehicles:

QG18DEN

edit

The QG18DEN is the natural gas version of the QG18DE. It produces 105 hp (78 kW) at 5600 rpm and 149 N⋅m (110 lb⋅ft) at 2800 rpm. Bore and Stroke are 80 mm × 88 mm (3.15 in × 3.46 in). It was used in the Nissan AD van from 2000 to 2008.
