DE engine updates (2006–present)

Changes include:

• neutral idle control achieved through the coordinated control of the engine in tandem with the XTRONIC CVT

• introduction of alternator regenerative control mechanism

• Reduction of engine friction by machining the cam shaft to a crowning mirror-like finish and application of a fluorine coating to the chain guide

• Delayed valve closure timing of the intake, achieved through the increased conversion angle of C-VTC and superior timing management, thus reducing pumping loss when idling

• Lower idling speed The improved HR15DE engines were first used in Nissan Cube, Nissan Cube Cubic, Nissan Note, Nissan Tiida, Nissan Tiida Latio and Nissan Wingroad sold since December 25, 2006. The HR10DDT is a 999 cc dual multi point injected, supercharged, turbocharged, straight-3 engine that was anticipated for use in the 2010 Nissan Micra, but was ultimately dropped in favour of the HR10/12DE and still-simpler HD12DDR/DDT variants, dependent on vehicle and application.
