H4Jt turbocharged engine by Renault-Nissan


The Renault-Nissan Alliance’s new TCe 130 engine is combine both two giants from Europe and Japan which are the Nissan’s petrol engine expertise and Renault’s turbocharging and combustion experience.

For Renault nomenclature, the engine is called the H4Jt (Nissan HR14DET?) and joins its Renault-derived TCe 100 1.2 liter turbocharged D4F engine as part of a family of new downsized and force inducted engines for better fuel economy and lower emissions.

An aluminium sump and quick-spooling turbocharger is equipped to this 1.4 liter engine. Its head has been redesigned to feature ports that create a swirling effect in the airflow which mixes the air-fuel mixture more evenly, improving combustion and as a result, torque at low revs. A continuously variable camshaft angle for the intake is also designed in the engine. The use of a low-noise timing chain increases durability.

The engine produced around 130 hp at 5500rpm and 190Nm of torque at 2250 rpm. It will be used in C-segment Renault cars such as the new Renault Megane III and upcoming MPVs based on the new Megane III platform. No news yet on which Nissans will use this engine.
