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).
