Nissan C engine

1

The Nissan C-series was an inline-four automobile engine produced in the 1950s and into the 1960s. It displaced 1.0 L (988 cc) and produced 37 hp (27.6 kW) and 47.7 to 49 lb·ft (64.7 to 66.4 Nm). It was a pushrod engine and used single or dual-26 mm carburetors. The C engine was derived from the 1.5 L Nissan 1H (1489 cc) engine, itself being a licensed built version of the 1.5 BMC B-series engine that featured a 73 mm bore and 89 mm stroke. To create the C engine, Nissan under the advice of American engineer Donald Stone (formerly of Willys-Overland) followed his suggestion of de-stroking the 1.5 engine from 89 to 59 mm, with the resulting C1 engine being called the "Stone engine" in his honor. When it was later increased to 1.2 L via an increased stroke from 59 to 71 mm, it was called the Nissan E engine. The Nissan C engine would go on to be directly replaced by the Nissan A engine in the 1967 Nissan Sunny B10, whose 1-litre A10 unit shared the same displacement from the same 73 x bore and stroke as the C engine.
