Nissan Sentra Ex-Saloon B14 1995 to Diesel engine

**AceOfallAces** · March 18th, 2019 06:26 PM

Hi Sir,

Good Day. Nagawa na din po namin yung i-adjust ang menor. Pati adjustment sa Distributor nagawa na din namin. Pero ayaw na talaga tumino ng engine. Honestly, pati yung Talyer na pinapagawaan namin, sumasakit na ulo ng mga mekaniko dun. Kaya nag-iisip na ko palitan ng engine yun. Sa palagay ko, wala na din magkaka-interest na bilhin itong Nissan namin. Kaya naghahanap na lang ako ng paraan para mapatakbo itong car. May sentimental value na din kasi ito sa amin, dahil mga bata pa kami. Ito na ang service car namin.

my 1997 sentra EX had problem once. engine would die upon decelerating from higher speed. i even became an expert on bump-starting, because of this. but dangerous...
and it wouldn't idle in the garage for more than a minute or two. (when it was newer, the engine idled for over half an hour, because i forgot all about it.)
i tried cleaning the maf, etc. nothing doing.
then i brought it to a shop specializing in, among other things, nissan cars.
the mechanic took a look, rpm'ed her, then twisted counterclockwise my air bleed adjusting screw by 1/4 turn (that huge purple screw under the air cleaner housing, to the right of the engine).
problem solved.
"sakal lang po."

it also improved my km/li figures. from 8, going back to the original to 9-10.

well, nissan did offer a diesel engine option in their box sentra in the late 80s...

kung suko na talaga kayo sa current engine niya... how's about getting a surplus gas engine? it was a popular model back then. it should be easier than hunting for that nissan diesel engine...

"sentimental value."
we shouldn't get too attached to the car.
it's potentially very expensive, even as it has absolutely no commercial value to someone else.

Sir, ganyan din problem ng B14 Super Saloon namin dati.
Nung una kapag inadjust yung distributor medyo tumitino, hanggang sa sumagad na sa adjustment.
Long story short, hiniram nya sa barkada niya (with the same car) yung distributor nung Sentra nila,
ayun, confirmed na distributor ang problema. Ended up buying a surplus unit, parang 2,500 yata
at that time. After mapalitan ayos na ulit.

Pa check mo din sir kung maayos yung pagka-timing nung makina after ma top-overhaul, kasi
nabanggit mo earlier mas lumala pa problema. baka sumablay ng isang "ipin" (gear) yung chain.

Greetings and Good Day. I had the same situation with my 1996 Nissan Sentra series 3 B14 / A/T. Actually it is no longer in running condition. Malaki na nagastos ko sa pagpapagawa. Initially ang problem is yung Idle. Nag-isolate na kami ng brother ko para ma-troubleshoot ang problem. Nagpalit na ko ng Throtlle body, Fuel filter, High Tension wire. Bagong Top overhaul na din, pero mas lalo pa sumama ang condition ng engine. Ngayon hindi ko na nagagamit.

So I am now thinking to "Convert my Nissan Sentra Ex-Saloon B14 1995 to Diesel engine". Para mas matipid. Kasi malakas na talaga sa gasoline. Please help naman po.

Kindly reply to this thread. Your inputs will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Lumala ba sya nung nagpalit ng throttle body o nung pagkaoverhaul ? baka may punit ung gasket ng throttle body napinalit at may nakakapasok na hangin or mali ng set ng timing

If you're really dead-on with an engine replacement to CD series, get a CD20 N/A for less headaches compared to a CD20T but expect it to perform similar to a CD17 with a little more grunt. Same lang ang mga turnilyuhan niyan for its engine support pero using a petrol-spec engine support set will result to vibrations during idle. And oh, get one which is already mated to a transmission because they use different flywheels and will be incompatible to your petrol engine's non-reduction type starter compared to a set which includes a diesel engine starter mated to the flywheel. Lipat mo na lang yung electronic speedometer sensor from your old tranny to the new one kasi cable type usually ang nasa CD20's pero pareho lang sila ng gear size at turnilyuhan.

There are parts available for CD20 believe it or not. Nissan released an AD-Max with the given engine locally. Stores also import parts because of imported diesel Serenas.

Meron palang diesel variant na B14 Sentra available elsewhere (SNB14/SB14) CD20 engine din ang gamit.

pede atang gamitin ung ADMAX diesel mounts sa Sentra parehas ng part no.s nun mounts maliban sa rear mounts
