Chronology
Predecessor	Z series

The Nissan NA family of straight-four engines is a series of engines manufactured by Nissan (Nissan Machinery). It is the replacement of the Z series, on which its design is based, and is mostly used in commercial vehicles due to its use of Liquefied petroleum gas for fuel on engines with a "P" suffix code. It is entirely unrelated to the 1950's NAK engine.

NA16S

• Engine type: 1.6 L (1,627 cc), 81.5 mm × 78 mm (3.21 in × 3.07 in) bore and stroke, SOHC ^[1]
• Output: 76 PS (56 kW) at 5,000 rpm
• Torque: 12.8 kg⋅m (126 N⋅m; 93 lb⋅ft) at 3,200 rpm

Applications

• 1989–1995 Datsun Truck D21 73 PS (54 kW) ^[1]
• 1990–1995 Nissan Atlas F22 - F23

NA20P

• Engine type: 2.0 L (1,998 cc), 86 mm × 86 mm (3.39 in × 3.39 in) bore and stroke, SOHC, carburetted

• Torque: 16.2 kg⋅m (159 N⋅m; 117 lb⋅ft) at 2,400 rpm

In 1998 the NA20P was updated, with redesigned combustion chambers which increased power and torque while lowering fuel consumption. A new catalyst reduced emissions, making it the first LPG-engined passenger car to be designated a low-pollution vehicle in several Japanese cities and prefectures. ^[2]
