The Nissan E series name was used on two types of automobile engines. The first was an OHV line used in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The second was an OHC version ranging from 1.3 L to 1.6 L and produced from 1982 through 1988.

[edit] First series

The first E-series of engines was one of Nissan's earliest homegrown designs. It did not use the same nomenclature of the later Nissan engines, with all models sharing the same displacement and simply called "E". It displaced 1.2 L (1189 cc) from a 73 mm (2.9 in) bore and 71 mm (2.8 in) stroke. Output is 48 hp (36 kW). This E series was produced from 1958 through the late 1960s.

The first version produced 48 hp (35.8 kW) and 60.7 ft·lbf (82.3 Nm) from a single carburetor. A later E-1 version added dual carbs and better cam timing for 60 hp (44.7 kW) and 67.3 ft·lbf (91.2 Nm).
