Nissan L engine
The Nissan L series of automobile engines was produced from 1966 through 1986 in both inline-four and inline-six configurations ranging from 1.3 L to 2.8 L. It is a two-valves per cylinder SOHC non-crossflow engine, with an iron block and an aluminium head. It was most notable as the engine of the Datsun 510, Datsun 240Z sports car, and the Nissan Maxima. These engines are known for their reliability, durability, and parts interchangeability.[citation needed]
The four-cylinder L series engines were replaced with the Z series and later the CA series, while the six-cylinder L series engines were replaced with the VG series and RB series.
The L series started with the production of the six-cylinder L20 in 1966. This engine was rushed into production by Datsun and was designed prior to the Prince merger using the Mercedes overhead cam engine as a model. It was discontinued two years later.
Learning lessons from the first L20, the four-cylinder L16 was developed in 1967. The L16 four-cylinder design was influenced by the Mercedes-Benz M180 engine that the Prince Motor Company developed in four- and six-cylinder displacements called the Prince G engine. This engine was given a full design and development cycle in Nissan's Small Engine Division to prevent repeating the same mistakes made from the original L20 engine. With this new engine design, the L16 went through rigorous testing and proved to be a much more superior design over the original L20. This engine set the standard for later L series engines, with the original L20 being replaced by the L16-based L20A.
The L13 was a 1.3 L (1,296 cc; 79.1 cu in) engine with a bore × stroke of 83 mm × 59.9 mm (3.27 in × 2.36 in) that appeared in 1967. It was not available in the United States, but Canada received it in 1968 only. It produces 77 hp (57 kW; 78 PS) SAE at 6,000 rpm (export models). In the Japanese market, the gross JIS rating was used and the figure is 72 PS (53 kW) JIS at the same engine speed. Torque is 109 N⋅m (80 lb⋅ft) SAE or 103 N⋅m (76 lb⋅ft) JIS at 3,600 rpm. The L13 was essentially a short-stroke L16.
Applications:
The 1.4 L (1,428 cc; 87.1 cu in) L14 was destined for most of the world, but was never offered in the US.
