(N15), and the Nissan Primera (P10, injection models, P11 & P11-144) 100NX. It is very similar to the GA14DE, aside from a larger displacement.
The GA16DE is a robust, reliable engine with a displacement of 1596cc. In North America it was used in the 1991-1999 Sentra, 200SX, and NX models. Later-model GA16DE (95-99) engines had more aggressive cams, straighter intake ports and performed slightly better. Despite being designed for economy, GA16DE-powered cars are also somewhat popular in tuning circles, due to a smooth powerband and good response to bolt-on modifications. The factory redline is set to 6900rpms, with aftermarket tuning increasing it to 7300.
In the UK it was featured in the first 3 incarnations of the Nissan Primera featuring good fuel economy and, despite its low displacement, decent performance thanks to its Twin cams and 16 valve configuration. Power (based on the 96-99 1.6 primera) is @ 6000 rpm.
In Australia it was used in the Nissan Pulsar N14 and N15.
A GA16DE was also released with the NVCS (Nissan Variable Cam imingSystem) solenoid, it carries the plastic rocker black valve cover with a different throttle body design which produced 115 hp (85 kW) @6400 rpm and 110 lb·ft (146 Nm) @4400 rpm. The solenoid "opens" completely at 4,000 rpm.
It has a 76mm bore and 88mm stroke with 9.5:1 Compression Ratio.
