The Nissan SR18Di is a 1.8 l (1838 cc) straight four, 4-stroke internal combustion gasoline engine from SR family, manufactured by the Nissan Motor Company from 1989 through 1993.
The Nissan SR18Di motor uses some cast-iron block, aluminum head with the dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) and Single Point Fuel Injection system.
The SR18Di engine bore is 82.5 mm, stroke is 86 mm and the compression ratio rating is 9.5:1.
With a 9.5:1 static compression ratio, the factory quoted power and torque outputs are 110 PS (81 kW; 108 hp) at 6500 rpm and 150 Nm (110 lbf·ft) at 4000 rpm.
This engine was used in Nissan medium models for Japan domestic market and some UK models.
The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:
- SR – Engine Family
- 18 – 1.8 Liter Displacement
- D – DOHC (Dual Overhead Camshafts)
- i – Throttle Body Fuel Injection
