| | AutoSpeed - The Nissan SR-Series Engines (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The SR-series of Nissan engines (perhaps the best-known is the potent and easily upgradeable SR20DET turbo 2-litre) was designed by Nissan as a replacement for the earlier CA series of engines. |
 | | Unlike many contemporary engine designs which were being constantly upsized (for example, from 2 to 2.2 or 2.4 litres), the engineers stuck with the ‘traditional’ 2-litre swept volume, gained from a bore and stroke each of 86mm. |
 | | However, as Nissan engineers of the time suggested, “attention was devoted not merely to reduce weight, but to assure functional reliability and to improve NVH [noise, vibration, harshness] characteristics”. |
