The Nissan E engine was a major redesign of the Nissan A engine, specifically to fit Front-Wheel Drive vehicles. It debuted in the 1982 Pulsar (N10 "Datsun 310"), replacing the A15. For 1983 it replaced the A-series engines in the Sunny model series. It can be swapped into Datsun 1200 fairly easily.

Overview

The E-series engine has been designed with consideration being given to small size, high output and fuel economy. Its design and construction have made it possible to mount the engine laterally on the FF (Front-engine, Front-drive) models, in conjunction with the "newly developed" transaxle which is in-line mounted on the engine.

A summary of the major features of the E-series engine is given below:

  • This engine is a water-cooled, 4 cylinder, in-line type.
  • High combustion efficiency and low frictional loss result in higher engine output.
  • A cross-flow design has been adopted for the intake and exhaust system to provide highly efficient combustion. The intake port employs a design that increases the "swirl" effect.
  • The combustion chamber features a semi-spherical shape which provides high combustion efficiency. Additionally, the spark plug is situated nea the center of the combustion chamber for added combustion efficiency.
  • The valve mechanism employs an OHC design with valves placed in a "V" arrangement. The camshaft is driven by a timing belt which features quiet operation and high durability.

Block

The cylinder block employs the same half-skirt design as that used in the A-series engine to provide small size and reduce weight. It uses a new casting process and is about 15cm shorter, the better to fit transversely in small engine bays.

A jackshaft is fitted to the traditional camshaft location in the block, for the sole purpose of driving the the fuel pump and oil pump.
