Nissan CA16DE Engine Specifications
The Nissan CA16DE is a 1.6 liter (1,598 cc, 97.51
cubic inches) straight-4 four-stroke cycle gasoline engine from Nissan
CA-family. This engine was produced from 1987 through 1989.
The Nissan CA16DE engine has DOHC (double overhead camshaft) design with four valves
per cylinder (16 valves in total), cast-iron block and an aluminum
cylinder head; fully balanced five-bearing crankshaft. The engine is
equipped with an electronic fuel injection system EGI (ECCS). North
American versions of the CA16DE engine used Nissan induction control
system (NICS), which opened up the secondary intake ports to each
cylinder via a butterfly valve in each port. This system is activated at
3,900 rpm and improved flow and performance resultingly.
Bore and stroke are 78.0 mm (3.07 in) and 83.6 mm (3.29 in),
respectively. Compression ratio rating of 10.0:1. The engine produced
120 PS (88 kW; 118 HP) at 6,400 rpm of maximum horsepower and 137 Nm
(14.0 kgm; 101.1 lb-ft) at 5,200 rpm of peak torque.
