The QG engine is a {{convert|1295|cc|L|1|abbr=on|disp=flip}}, {{convert|1497|cc|L|1|abbr=on|disp=flip}}, {{convert|1597|cc|L|1|abbr=on|disp=flip}} and {{convert|1769|cc|L|1|abbr=on|disp=flip}} straight-4 piston engine from Nissan. It is a lean-burn aluminum DOHC 4-valve design with variable valve timing and optional NEO Di direct injection.

The QG engines were designed by Nissan's Aichi Kikai division {{cite web |url=http://www.aichikikai.co.jp/english/index.html |title=Archived copy |access-date=2007-12-01 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020601122512/http://www.aichikikai.co.jp/english/index.html |archive-date=2002-06-01 }} Aichi Machine Industry in Japan.

Nissan websites state the QG as standing for "Quality and Green".[http://nissan.com.my/vehicles/sentra/performance.html ] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081010201126/http://nissan.com.my/vehicles/sentra/performance.html |date=October 10, 2008 }}

QG13DE

The QG13DE is a {{convert|1295|cc|L|1|abbr=on|disp=flip}} DOHC 16-valve with 4-cylinder. It produces {{convert|87|hp|0|abbr=on}} at 6000 rpm and {{Convert|130|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} at 4400 rpm.

Bore x Stroke= {{Convert|71x81.8|mm|2|abbr=on}}

It is used in the following vehicles:

QG15DE

Water-cooled straight 4 cylinder engine with {{convert|1497|cc|L|1|abbr=on|disp=flip}} capacity and DOHC control. Bore and stroke are {{convert|73.6x88|mm|in|2|abbr=on}}. Output is {{convert|90|hp|0|abbr=on}} at 5600 rpm and {{Convert|128|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} at 2800 rpm and later {{convert|105|hp|0|abbr=on}} at 6000 rpm and {{Convert|143|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} at 4400 rpm.

This engine is used in:

Power outputs for N16 Almera:

  • '00-'02: 90ps
  • '02-'06: 98ps

QG16DE

The QG16DE is a {{convert|1597|cc|L|1|abbr=on|disp=flip}} 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 {{Convert|88|kW|hp|0|abbr=on}} at 6000 rpm and {{convert|165|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} at 4000 rpm. Bore and stroke is {{convert|76x88|mm|in|2|abbr=on}}.

Specifications

It is used in the following vehicles:

QG18DD

The 1.8 L direct-injection QG18DD produces {{convert|130|hp|0|abbr=on}} at 6000 rpm and {{Convert|174|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} at 2800 rpm.

It is used in the following vehicles:

QG18DE

The {{convert|1769|cc|L|1|abbr=on|disp=flip}} QG18DE was designed for Nissan by [https://web.archive.org/web/20020601122512/http://www.aichikikai.co.jp/english/index.html Aichi Machine Industry], Japan. It is manufactured both in Japan and the Mexican city of Aguascalientes. Bore and stroke is {{convert|80x88|mm|in|2|abbr=on}}. 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.Nissan press release, November 20, 2000: http://www.nissan-global.com/GCC/Japan/NEWS/20001120_10e.html {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029203342/http://www.nissan-global.com/GCC/Japan/NEWS/20001120_10e.html |date=2013-10-29 }}

Specifications

  • Displacement - {{convert|1769|cc|L|1|abbr=on|disp=flip}}
  • Layout - DOHC Inline-4 (Straight-4) with VVT tech (called NVTC).
  • Valves - 16, 4 for each cylinder
  • Power - {{Convert|115|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} to {{Convert|128|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} at 6000 rpm
  • Torque - {{convert|122|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} to {{convert|130|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} at 2800 rpm

Emissions Control Devices

  • OBDII - On-board Diagnostic System (codes can be read/erased by a variety of readers, e.g. {{Proper name|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. {{Proper name|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

The QG18DEN is the natural gas version of the QG18DE. It produces {{convert|105|hp|0|abbr=on}} at 5600 rpm and {{Convert|149|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} at 2800 rpm. Bore and Stroke are {{convert|80x88|mm|in|2|abbr=on}}. It was used in the Nissan AD van from 2000 to 2008.
