The N series isHonda's first automotivediesel engine, aninline-four formedium-sized vehicles. It usescommon raildirect injection, which Honda brands asi-CTDi (Intelligent Common-rail Turbocharged Direct injection). The most notable feature is the aluminiumblock, which uses proprietary technology in the manufacturing process to provide light weight and high rigidity.Roller chains drive two overhead camshafts. Avariable-geometry turbocharger andintercooler are used.
The i-DTEC engine uses a 2-Stage turbocharger fromWastegate Type &Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) left/right. It enables strong power from about 1,500 rpm. WithDiesel particulate filter (DPF),Start-stop system,Exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR) & Small Size Intercooler.
