Nissan E engine
Encyclopedia
The Nissan E series name was used on two types of automobile
engines. The first was an OHV
line used in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The second was an OHC version ranging from 1.3 L to 1.6 L and produced from 1982 through 1988.
The first version produced 48 hp (35.8 kW) and 60.7 ft·lbf (82.3 Nm) from a single carburetor
. A later E-1 version added dual carbs and better cam timing for 60 hp (44.7 kW) and 67.3 ft·lbf (91.2 Nm).
Applications:
. The SOHC head was a new aluminum alloy design fitted to a cast iron block. It was derived from the A series by simply fitting a belt drive pulley to the nose of the crankshaft. The jackshaft being in place of the OHV camshaft still drove the distributor and oil pump as before.
in 1988/89, although it soldiered on in secondary markets such as Southeast Asia. The Malaysian built B11 Nissan Sunny 130Y used the E13 until at least 1996.
The Turbo E15ET was discontinued in 1987.
Claimed power outputs varied considerably over time and in different markets.
