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 in Japan. Nissan websites state the QG as standing for "Quality and Green".

QG13DE

The QG13DE is a 1295 cc DOHC 16-valve with 4-cylinder. It produces 87 PS at 6000 rpm and 130 Nm at 4400 rpm in the initial trim. Bore x Stroke= 71x81.8 mm

It is used in the following vehicles:

  • 1999-2006 Nissan AD Van (Y11)
  • 1998-2004 Nissan Sunny (B15)
  • 2005-2012 Nissan Sentra N16 series for low-end models (Philippines)

QG15DE

Water-cooled straight 4 cylinder engine with 1497 cc capacity and DOHC control. Bore and stroke are 73.6x88 mm. Output is 90 PS at 5600 rpm and 128 Nm at 2800 rpm in initial, European specifications, and later 105 PS at 6000 rpm and 143 Nm at 4400 rpm.

This engine is used in:

  • 1999-2004 Nissan Sunny (B15)
  • 1999-2008 Nissan Wingroad/AD (Y11)
  • 2002-2009 Samsung SM3 (G10)

Power outputs for N16 Almera:

  • '02-'06: 98ps

QG16DE

The QG16DE is a 1597 cc 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 120 PS at 6000 rpm and 165 Nm at 4000 rpm, although a variety of other power figures are shown for other years and in other installations. Bore and stroke is 76x88 mm.

QG18DE

The 1769 cc QG18DE was designed for Nissan by Aichi Machine Industry, Japan. It is manufactured both in Japan and the Mexican city of Aguascalientes. Bore and stroke is 80x88 mm. 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.

Specifications

  • Displacement - 1769 cc

  • Valves - 16, 4 for each cylinder
  • Power - 115 - at 6000 rpm
  • Torque - 122 lbft to 130 lbft at 2800 rpm
  • Redline - 6500 rpm
  • Fuel Delivery System - electronic fuel injection
  • Fuel compression ratio - 9.5:1 Emissions Control Devices
  • OBDII - On-board Diagnostic System. 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. ).
  • Knock Sensor - located on engine block; retards timing if pinging/detonation is detected.
  • Heated Throttle Body - heated by engine coolant.
