Nissan TD23 engine
Content
Over its long history, the Nissan auto concern has brought to the market a huge amount of quality products. Japanese cars are the most popular, but it is simply impossible not to say about their engines. At the moment, Nissan has several hundred of its own branded engines, which are of excellent quality and good functionality. In this article, our resource decided to cover in detail the manufacturer's internal combustion engine with the name "TD23". Read about the history of creation, engineering features and operating rules of this unit below.
About the concept and creation of the motor
The TD23 engine is a typical representative of diesel units among those produced by the Japanese. Small size, excellent functionality and cost-effectiveness are its main distinguishing features. Despite such modest characteristics, the engine is more than powerful. No wonder it was installed on small trucks, and on crossovers, and on SUVs, and on cars.
Production of the TD23 began at the end of 1985, and the active introduction of internal combustion engines into the design of cars (Nissan Atlas, for example) at the end of 1986. In fact, this engine replaced the morally and functionally obsolete installations with the names "SD23" and "SD25". Having adopted the best from its predecessors, the TD23 engine became Nissan's solid diesel for many years. Surprisingly, it is still produced in limited quantities for budget trucks and even for sale by order.
Of course, the time of the TD23 has already passed, but the high quality, reliability and good technical characteristics still make it a competitive motor even in today's realities. Some profile features of this internal combustion engine cannot be distinguished - it is a typical diesel engine with an overhead valve structure and liquid cooling. But the way Nissan responsibly and qualitatively approached its creation, subsequent release, did its job. Again, for over 30 years, the TD23 has had some popularity and has been heard by people in one way or another connected with the automotive industry or auto repair.

Repair and service
"Nissanovsky" TD23 is a bright representative of diesel hard workers who have good functionality and power. Despite the considered technical characteristics, the main advantage of this internal combustion engine lies in its high reliability. As the reviews of the TD23 operators show, this engine rarely breaks down and is unremarkable in use.
The Japanese unit does not have typical malfunctions. In Russian realities, such “sores” are most often observed as:
- leaking gaskets;
- problems with the fuel system due to low-quality fuel;
- increased oil consumption.
Any breakdowns of the TD23 are eliminated extremely simply - just contact the Nissan profile center or any service station. Since the structure and technical part of the engine is typical for a diesel engine, there are no problems with its repair. If you want to troubleshoot, you can do it yourself.
As for tuning, the TD23 is not the best option, although it has good prospects in terms of “promotion”. It is important to understand that this internal combustion engine is more intended for permanent operation and there is no need to upgrade it in terms of power. By the way, the average price for a TD23 contractor is only 100 rubles. You can think about acquiring it for private truckers and other carriers, since the resource of the motor is very, very good.
Perhaps the most important provisions on the topic of today's article have come to an end. We hope that the information provided was useful to all readers of our site and helped to understand the essence of the Nissan TD23 unit.
