The MA is an all-aluminium straight-4 SOHC 0.9 L, 1.0 L, or 1.2 L engine made by Nissan. It had an 8-valve hemispherical cylinder head. Unusually, the specified ignition timing for the MA10 running on the specified 90 RON gasoline was 2 degrees after top dead centre, reflecting a very high flame speed in the compact combustion chambers.
The MA10E was used in the Nissan Saurus Jr.
The MA09ERT was a twin charged (supercharger and turbocharger) engine that powered the March Superturbo, March R and the March Superturbo R.
The Nissan MA10ET powered the Figaro and March Turbo.
