OUTLINE
The 8NR-FTS engine is an in-line, 4-cylinder, 1.2-liter, 16-valve DOHC, turbocharged engine with intercooler. This engine is a Direct injection 4-stroke gasoline engine (D-4). In addition, this engine uses the Variable Valve Timing-intelligent Wide (VVT-iW) control, Variable Valve Timing-intelligent (VVT-i) control, Direct Ignition System (DIS), Electronic Throttle Control System-intelligent (ETCS-i). It has been developed to achieve high performance, quietness, fuel economy and clean emissions.
This engine uses ESTEC D-4T.
Tech Tips
Economy with Superior Thermal Efficient Combustion (ESTEC): An engine series which achieves thermal efficiency (fuel economy) improvements through continuous improvements to engine combustion.
Direct injection 4 stroke gasoline engine with Turbo (D-4T): A direct injection technology which uses a system to comprehensively perform supercharging control for the D-4 system and turbocharger to achieve a higher dimension of high tumble flow and turbo pressure control by optimizing the cylinder head ports and shape of the piston faces. As a result, fuel economy and low-speed torque are achieved.
