The N series is Honda's first automotive diesel engine, an inline-four for medium-sized vehicles. It uses common rail direct injection, which Honda brands as i-CTDi (Intelligent Common-rail Turbocharged Direct injection). The most notable feature is the aluminium block, which uses proprietary technology in the manufacturing process to provide light weight and high rigidity. Roller chains drive two overhead camshafts. A variable-geometry turbocharger and intercooler are used.

N15A1

The i-DTEC engine uses a 2-Stage turbocharger from Wastegate Type & Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) left/right. It enables strong power from about 1,500 rpm. With Diesel particulate filter (DPF), Start-stop system, Exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR) & Small Size Intercooler.

N16A1/N16A2/N16A3

The i-DTEC engine uses a single turbocharger from Wastegate Type & Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT). It enables strong power from about 1,500 rpm. With Diesel particulate filter (DPF), IDLE STOP SYSTEM, Exhaust gas recirculation SYSTEM (EGR) & Small Size Intercooler.

N16A4

This is an uprated version of the N16 noted above having 2 turbochargers. Details are similar, except for:

Applications

N22A

The i-CTDi engine uses a variable-nozzle turbocharger from Honeywell or Garrett. It enables strong power from about 1,500 rpm.[1] This Honda engine is apparently exclusive for European markets where Honda could operate.

Specifications


N22B

Whilst the N22A has the intake ports on the front of the engine, the N22B has the new standard front intake/rear exhaust port configuration. The stroke has been slightly reduced to qualify for sub-2200 cc engine displacement, for tax and registration purposes in some jurisdictions. The N22A has exhaust on the rear of the engine.

Specifications

Meets Euro 5 emissions standards.

N22B2

High output; specifications based on Accord

Specifications

"The 110 kW (150 PS; 148 hp) i-DTEC diesel engine is available with the five-speed automatic transmission only, while a six-speed manual gearbox is the sole choice in conjunction with the 132 kW (179 PS; 177 hp) high-output version. The new, uprated 2.2 i-DTEC turbo-diesel engine's impressive maximum power output is 132 kW (179 PS; 177 hp) at 4 000 r/min, together with 380 N⋅m (280 lb⋅ft) of torque, already on tap at 2 000 r/min. There are rare versions of the 2007-2014 Honda Accord (CU) Type S with 196 PS (144 kW; 193 hp) and 415 N⋅m (306 lb⋅ft). Linked to its six-speed manual gearbox, the Accord accelerates from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 8,7 sec (7,9 in the Type S model), and manages a top speed of 220 km/h (140 mph). Combined cycle fuel consumption is a frugal 5.8 L/100 km (49 mpg‑imp; 41 mpg‑US), with an associated CO2 emissions figure of 151 g (5.3 oz)/km.

In 110 kW (150 PS; 148 hp) form, the 2.2 i-DTEC, offered in automatic guise only, achieves the 0-100 km/h (62 mph) dash in 10,3 sec, while top speed comes to 207 km/h (129 mph). The combined cycle consumption comes to 6.5 L/100 km (43 mpg‑imp; 36 mpg‑US), while the CO2 emissions figure is 170 g (6.0 oz)/km."[2]
