Nissan QG engine

The QG engine is a 1.3 L, 1.5 L, 1.6 L, and 1.8 L straight-4 piston engine from Nissan. 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".

The QG13DE is an 1.3 L (1295 cc) DOHC 16-valve with 4-cylinder. It produces 87 hp (65 kW) at 6000 rpm and 130 N·m (96 lb·ft) at 4400 rpm. Bore = 71 mm; Stroke = 81 mm

It is used in the following vehicles:

Water-cooled straight 4 cylinder engine with 1.5 L (1497 cc) cubic capacity and DOHC control. Bore and stroke are 73.6 mm (2.90 in) and 88 mm (3.5 in). Output is 109 hp (81 kW) at 6000 rpm and 143 N·m (105 lb·ft) at 4400 rpm and later 105 hp (78 kW) at 6000 rpm.

This engine is used in:

Power outputs for N16 Almera:

The QG16DE is an 1.6 L (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 88 kW (118 hp)@6000 rpm and 165 N·m (122 lb·ft)@4000 rpm. Bore and stroke is 76 mm (3.0 in) and 88 mm (3.5 in).
