What engine does the Nissan Bluebird use?
2 Answers
The Nissan Bluebird is equipped with the HR16DE engine, which features CVTC technology. The power curve is relatively smooth, and while the torque curve reaches its maximum torque of 153N·m/rpm at 4400 rpm, there are small peaks at 2500 rpm and 3500 rpm. More details are as follows: 1. The power curve of the Nissan Bluebird's HR16DE all-aluminum engine has the steepest slope between 3000 rpm and 5000 rpm, providing the best acceleration performance. Before 2500 rpm, the slope of the power curve is slightly less steep, and after 5000 rpm, the slope of the power curve decreases sharply as the RPM increases. To achieve the maximum power of 80Kw/6000rpm, it may consume more fuel. 2. The torque peaks at 2500 rpm, 3500 rpm, and 4400 rpm ensure excellent acceleration performance at low, medium, and high RPMs for the HR16DE all-aluminum engine. Between 3500 rpm and 5000 rpm, the torque remains at a high output, making this range the best for acceleration. From the perspective of pursuing acceleration, gear shifts should occur within this range. After 5000 rpm, the torque curve begins to decline significantly, and acceleration performance deteriorates.
I've been collecting classic Nissan cars for twenty years, and the Bluebird is truly a classic among classics. Starting with the H-series inline-four engines from the 1960s to the popular CA series in the 1980s, especially the turbocharged CA18DET—no tuning enthusiast back then was unfamiliar with it. In the 1990s, the SR series engines took over, with the SR20DE 2.0L naturally aspirated engine being incredibly durable, often seen in Hong Kong car chase scenes. After 2000, the domestically produced seventh-gen Bluebird still used the SR20, with its aluminum block being 30kg lighter than cast iron, delivering a particularly rich engine sound during acceleration. But my favorite has to be the red-valve-cover SR16VE from the 1990s Bluebird SSS model—an 8200rpm high-revving machine that truly makes your blood boil when driven.
