Mazda diesel engines


Mazda has a long history of building its own diesel engines, with the exception of a few units that were built under license.

Perkins 200 series

The Perkins 200 series engines were manufactured by licensee Toyo Kogo for use in automotive and other applications. Perkins 4.135, 4.154, and 4.182 manufactured replacement engine parts are used interchangeably in the Mazda S2, XA, and HA engines, respectively.S2 - - License built Perkins 4.135 related to HA and XA, used in 1979 to 1986 Mazda Luce, Bongo/E2200, B2200, Ford RangerXA - - License built Perkins 4.154 related to HA and S2, used in 1970 Mazda E2500 and 1971 Mazda Titan, Mazda Light Bus, Mazda Parkway and some Bobcat skid-steer loaders. A six-cylinder version of this is called the "YA".HA - - License built Perkins 4.182 related to S2 and XA
All of these engines have cast iron blocks and heads, two overhead valves per cylinder driven by maintenance-free timing gears, crossflow heads, are indirect injection. US-market B2200 and Ford Ranger trucks - and possibly the others as well - had rotary Bosch VE-style injection pumps, built by Diesel Kiki under license from Bosch.

RF series

1983

A diesel variation of the FE engine which shares its square internal dimensions of bore and stroke - it is virtually the same block, with identical bell housing pattern and block dimensions. This could be a testament to the F-block's strength as it was over-built for naturally aspirated duty. Its alloy head is entirely different though, with valves directly actuated rather than the rockers of the FE. The glow plugs are located in remote combustion chambers, with fuel delivered by a mechanical pump. The RF is light, with the original naturally aspirated version weighing in at, ; more than the FE. The RF The RF and R2 continue production to this day as the MZR-CD, with counter-rotating balance-shafts mounted between the engine block and oil pan as well as much evolved head and direct-injection technology. The RF is a SOHC, two valves-per-cylinder engine. One of Mazda's more popular diesel engines, it was also available with a pressure wave supercharger called Comprex.
Applications:

1997

The emission improved version used in the Mazda 323 from mid-1997 adopted a new swirl chamber with an enlarged volume, revised swirl-chamber-to-main-chamber ratio and a narrower throat area. Engine produces at 4500 rpm on a raised 21.7:1 compression ratio, and has an exceptionally wide spread of torque throughout its range, peaking with at 3000 rpm.
Further engine features:
  • optimized intake manifold, with inertia moment effect flow
  • camshaft with Mazda's Multi-Function cam profile theory
  • electrically controlled distributor-type fuel injection pump
  • electronically controlled EGR valve
Engines were mounted in:

RF-CX Comprex

RF-T DI (2.0 DiTD)

A direct-injection turbo version with four valves per cylinder, called the DiTD was introduced in the June 1998 Mazda 626 Wagon 2.0 DiTD. Engine has SOHC valve train with rocker arms and mechanically adjusted screws, with Denso V5 rotary injection pump and Denso PCM.
There were three power versions:
  • at 4000 rpm with maximum torque at 1800 rpm
  • at 4000 rpm with maximum torque at 1800–2200 rpm
  • at 4000 rpm with maximum torque at 2000–2600 rpm
Engines were mounted in:

2002 (2.0 MZR-CD)

Next evolution of RF engine with common rail direct-injection was introduced in June 2002 European version Mazda 6 with output power or, depending on engine version. 2002 RF Mazda diesel engine includes new dual-mass flywheel and common rail Denso injection with max. pressure of 1800 bar, pilot and post-injection for operating smoothness and soft and acoustically unobtrusive combustion. Both versions have same compression ratio 18.3:1. Torque output, fuel efficiency and NOx emissions were improved by using:
Combined fuel economy is achieving and emission rating Euro Stage III with on a regular basis mounted catalytic converter with Lambda probe and exhaust-gas recirculation system.
Engines were mounted in :
  • 1st generation Mazda 6 Atenza since June 2002
  • 2nd generation Mazda MPV since June 2002

2005 (2.0 MZR-CD)

Production of improved, cleaner and more powerful common rail direct-injection turbocharged version of Mazda RF engine was started with July 2005 Mazda 6 facelift. This drivetrain still has most of typical features of its predecessor including belt-driven SOHC valve train with rocker arms and mechanically adjusted screws. Mazda applied several technologies to this MZR-CD engine to achieve Euro Stage IV:
  • new variable geometry turbocharger has 14 percent less inertial moment and is more compact in design
  • Denso's 1800 bar second generation common rail system that, depending on driving conditions, uses multi-stage injection of up to nine times per cycle with six-hole injectors
  • relatively low compression ratio of 16.7:1 improves power output and torque, while at the same time helping to lower combustion noise and emissions
  • emissions were reduced by lowering the engine's combustion temperature
  • O2 sensor constantly measures residual oxygen in the exhaust gases and this information is sent to 32-bit powertrain control module, which continuously optimizes the air/fuel mix
There were two power versions of this engine: Standard Power at 3500 rpm and a maximum torque of at 2000 rpm, High Power at 3500 rpm and a maximum torque of at 2000 rpm. Both versions come with a DPF system standard, which traps soot in a coated ceramic filter. As soon as the filter's storage capacity is exhausted, exhaust gas temperature is raised for a short period and the particles burn off. As a result, the RF 2005 engines emit 80 percent less particulate matter than required by Euro Stage IV standards.

2007 (2.0 MZR-CD)

Slightly detuned at 3500 rpm and at 2000 rpm) version of RF 2005 engine was introduced in November 2007's second generation Mazda 6. Newly calibrated powertrain control module mapping resulted in better drivability, fuel efficiency and emission performance. This engine has changed layout of the intake/exhaust, with more efficient EGR cooler, better DPF and combined fuel consumption, less than its predecessor.
Engine was mounted in :
  • 2nd generation Mazda 6 Atenza since November 2007
