Some 1980-1982 Datsuns in Asia markets came with an OEM (factory) EFI system. Nissan called it "EGI" -- Electronic Gasoline Injection (日産 EGI). This is the "rare as" A14E Injection motor. At 92 horsepower it was far superior to the carbureted 80 hp A14/A15, in fact this was the most powerful A engine offered by Nissan, with more horsepower than the twin-carb GX Engine.

Overview

quote:
a friend of mine has a system that came on the A14 in the M10 Pulsars (very first ones). The set up he got came from Singapore

The A14E engine came in:

1979-1981 Langley (N10 Pulsar) -- Asian markets
1978-up Feb - Sunny 1400SGX-E Coupe -- Asian markets

A14E was available until October 1980. It was replaced by A15E in November 1980.

A14 EFI manifold

quote:

SSS as I remember at one stage they had import carbie A15 engines for round $600 and injected A14 and A15 for around $800

Reportedly, Nepean Sports classics in Castlereagh NSW was selling import motors. carlos' son ran one. These are fairly sought after by the rally guys as the narrow runners provide torque and the length also good top end, too small for a big A15 though.

These possibly came in later model Nissan Vanettes, the reason they seem rare is both my manifolds broke across the bottom of no's 1 & 2 inlet runner. Plus it suffers from reversion with a big cam.

These were also available in asian markets (Japan, Singapore, etc).

quote:

A14 EGI = HB310 (1978-1980) Type-GX & SGX
A15 EGI = PB310 (1980-1981) Type-GX & SGX

As for the name in Japan, Nissan calls EGI and Toyota EFI.
Although the EGI system should excel Carburettors in the performance, old EGI is inferior to Carburettors.

Discussions:

As you can see here, the setup is nearly identical to 1980 200SX EFI system:

This car is missing the air induction piping that goes across the radiator (see 200SX EFI for layout and diagrams)

B310 Factory Setup

Performance

This factory Nissan setup was designed for typical mass-market street performance. Expect better low-speed horsepower performance than a stock DCH306 carburetor (due to the longer runners), AND increased peak horsepower.

Quite a large horsepower difference:

A14E: 92 PS @ 6400 rpm, 11.7 kg-m @ 3600 rpm
A14: 80 PS @ 6000 rpm, 10.2 kg-m @ 3600 rpm

However, it is not a racing system. In a heavily modified engine, carburetion has more potential:

Quote
A factory EFI setup imported from Japan was tried, and found to be much smoother, but ... restrictive above 6000rpm when used with the [racing] cam.

Exhaust

The exhaust manifolds have not heat riser valve, and do not fasten to the bottom of the intake manifold -- like the A12GX manifold.

A14E has a free-flowing single outlet exhaust manifold:

Certain other late model A-series engines are similar, but the A14E manifold is unique.

A15E has a twin-outlet exhaust which looks nearly identical to A12GX Engine

VVT

VVT - Venturi Vacuum Transducer (V.V.T.) modifies the EGR vacuum signal. The VVT Valve takes venturi vacuum and exhaust manifold back pressure, and outputs the EGR signal. This systems has finer control over the EGR than earlier systems.

An on/off vacuum switch has an input of intake vacuum, and activates on the high vacuum during deceleration. The output is used cut to power to the vacuum switch valve.

2-port thermal vacuum valve closes when the engine is cold, so no vacuum can flow to the EGR valve.
