NVCC

Nissan developed a stratified-charge cylinder head (a la CVCC) in 1973-1974. It was reportedly 2.1 liters, and from a photo looked like it might be an L-series engine. However in the end they were able to meet 1975 emissions standards by using NAPS instead.

Engine expected to meet U.S.-Japan smog rules

TOKYO - Nissan Motor Co., manufacturer of the Datsun automobile, Wednesday announced development of a low-pollution engine expected to meet Japanese and American auto-emission standards... Outgoing Nissan president Katsuju Kawamata admitted his company's NVCC technology might conflict with Honda's CVCC process it terms of patent right. But he said he would conferwith Honda to settle disputes that might arise.

Nissan Drops Engine Plans

Nissan Motor Co, Tokyo, Japan, said it has decided to suspend a commercial production plan of its "NVCC" (Nissan vortex-controlled combustion) engine.

* Sealed Fuel Tank with Flow Guide Valve for ventilation
* Flow Control Valve 14920-H5000 (mounts on #1 intake runner)

"H" is the 1975 (50年度) emission standards. Also in 1975 in the United States similar regulations came into effect.

B210 EGR

All B211 (from December 1975) and VB210 (from October 1975) used EGR Exhaust Gas Reduction. This included Vans which were not fitted with catalytic converters.

B210 Catalyst

Nissan system's of exhaust gas cleaning by catalyzed oxidation (NAPS) adopted. A 2-way catalytic converter converted carbon monoxide (CO) and unburned hydrocarbons (HC) to produce "harmless" carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). It was only later than CO2 was acknowledged to be a pollutant itself. NOTE: In 1980 the 3-way converter introduced a 3rd reaction to reduce the third major pollutant NOx.

To enable efficient conversion, extra oxygen is introduced into the exhaust system by use of Nissan A.I.S. (Air Injection System), using a passive air induction (tuned pulse-flow) system. It used a cylinder head with an air passage drilled from front to back.

No feedback was used to control the fuel system. A carefully tuned carburetor was sufficient to meet the 1975 emissions target.

* JAPAN GB211 L16 7602- (51 year standard)
* not used on Van

Because the very hot converter is located under the passenger seat:

  • a temperature warning system is fitted
  • seat mounting is modified. 1976-1977 Passenger seat clears the bulge in the floor

1200 EGR

* EGR comes to the 1200 for NOx reduction. See EGR#1200

L - 1981 regulations was the reason for the B122 model change.

1200 Catalyst

  • NOx reduction via 3-way Catalytic Converter. A carburetor with mixture control (ECU-controlled carb + Oxygen Sensor) is used to make the converter more efficient by keeping the mixture close to 14.7:1
  • Exhaust Temp warning lamp on dash 排気温度警告灯ランプ排気温度警告灯ランプ
  • Electronic Ignition to keep the tune longer (thus limiting emissions)
