[edit] Automotive Applications

[edit] 3 Cylinder

[edit] R 315 SOHC

1.5 L (1493 cc) I3, with a single overhead camshaft, four valves-per-cylinder, and common-rail direct fuel injection.

Applications:

• Hyundai Accent (power: 90 hp (60 kW); torque: 133 ft•lbf (180 Nm))
• Hyundai Matrix (power: 90 hp (60 kW); torque: 133 ft•lbf (180 Nm))
• Hyundai Getz (power: 90 hp (60 kW); torque: 133 ft•lbf (180 Nm))

[edit] 4 Cylinder

[edit] 425 OHV

2.5 L (2499 cc) I4, with two (pushrod-actuated) valves-per-cylinder and indirect fuel injection.

Applications:

• 1990–1999 Rover 800 (power: 118 bhp, latterly 120bhp; torque: 197 ft•lbf)
• 1992–2000 Chrysler Voyager (power: 114 hp (85 kW); torque: 193 ft•lbf (262 Nm))
• 1994–2001 Jeep Cherokee (power: 118 hp (88 kW) @ 4000 rpm; torque: 221 ft•lbf (300 Nm) @ 2000 rpm)
• 1995–1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee (power: 114 hp (85 kW); torque: 221 ft•lbf (300 Nm))
• 1996–2000 GAZ GAZelle (power: 101 hp (75 kW); torque: 171 ft•lbf (232 Nm))
• 1997–2000 UAZ 3160 (power: 101 hp (75 kW); torque: 171 ft•lbf (232 Nm))
• 1999–2000 Dodge Dakota (power: 114 hp (85 kW); torque: 221 ft•lbf (300 Nm))

This engine was also used in some early Toyota Landcruisers & hilux, and Opel Fronteras. It receieved bad press during the late 90's for problems with the timing chain, which often broke with catastrophic consequences. This was improved from 1998 with a double chain design. Also had problems with corrosion in the 4 individual cylinder heads, which was not solved until model change in 2000. Temperature problems were also observed, taking into account that this motor was designed to be a marine motor, so the Cherokee TD suffers from overheating and some individual cylinder head can break.
