What engine is in the Nissan Bluebird?
2 Answers
Nissan Bluebird is equipped with the HR16DE engine. An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy. Engines are applicable both as power generation devices and can also refer to the entire machine including the power unit. Their types include internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, gas turbines, and electric motors. The Nissan Bluebird is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan with a length, width, and height of 4683mm, 1780mm, and 1465mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2700mm, a top speed of 185 kilometers per hour, equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission, and a fuel tank capacity of 50L.
I've been driving my Bluebird for almost a decade, and its engine has quite a story. The older U13 generation used the SR20 series engine with a 2.0L displacement, which was particularly famous in the tuning community. The red-top version could squeeze out 180 horsepower, and with a turbo upgrade, it easily reached 250 horsepower. Even now, there are people in the used car market specifically looking for this engine. Later, the domestically produced U14 switched to the QG18, a 1.8L engine known for its reliability and durability. My car has run 230,000 kilometers without any major repairs. I remember that after 2004, when they switched to the CVT transmission, the power delivery was exceptionally smooth, with highway fuel consumption just over 6 liters per 100 kilometers. However, when buying a used car, you need to watch out for the QG18's common issue—the valve cover gasket tends to leak oil, but replacing it only costs about 300 yuan.
