The GA16DE is a robust extremely reliable little engine with a displacement of 1598cc's. In North America it was used in the 1991-1999 Sentra, 200SX, and NX models. Later-model GA16DE (95-99) engines had better cams, straighter intake ports and performed slightly better. Despite being designed for economy, GA16DE-powered cars are also somewhat popular in tuning circles, due to a smooth powerband and good response to bolt-on modifications. In the UK it featured in the first 3 incarnations of the Nissan Primera featuring good fuel economy and despite its low displacement sparky performance thanks to its Twin cams and 16valve configuration power (based on the 96-99 1.6 primera) is 98 bhp (73 kW) @ 6000 rpm.
