An all - alloy 90 - degree DOHC V8, the 63 engine features fuel - injection, high 11.0:1 compression ratio, a variable intake manifold within twin induction system, variable cam timing on both inlet and exhaust cams, rigid race - style closed - deck crankcase and linerless,
coated cylinder bores.

Cylinder head and exhaust gaskets are beefier than before, and perhaps most importantly, the main
bearings are now topped with a polymer
coating that dramatically reduces scoring and prolongs life.
Producing 148bhp, it features
cylinder deactivation tech and common rail injection, while the internal friction has been reduced over the 1.4 - litre by the use of a new fully variable, map - controlled oil pump and a polymer -
coated first main crank
bearing.
There's also 12 % less internal friction thanks to spray -
coated and mirror - finish
cylinder bores, limiting knock and engine weight vs. the previous iron liners, Nissan says.
And instead of liners, the
cylinder bores feature a twin - wire arc - sprayed
coating, which results in a significant reduction in engine weight.
A first for a production engine, the
cylinder bores feature a twin - wire - arc - sprayed (TWAS)
coating, a new process that results in impressively low friction and running surfaces that are twice as hard as conventional cast - iron
cylinders.
The Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS) includes an intermediate lock function on the intake side, while the use of spray -
coated and mirror - finish
cylinder bores (versus the iron liners) provides an estimated 12 percent reduction in internal friction, which also improves anti-knock performance and reduces engine weight.
Mirror
bore coating technology is a process in which the
cylinder walls are sprayed by a special plasma jet.
While the VC - Turbo engine's multi-link system limits the lateral movement of the connecting rods within the engine — a cause of piston friction — Infiniti's mirror
bore coating technology further reduces
cylinder friction by 44 %.
Key changes to the engine's design include a thermal - insulated resin intake port, Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG) system, variable tumble control valve, mirror
bore cylinder coating, variable displacement oil pump, intake e-VTC and cooled external EGR.
It also uses a spray
coating instead of traditional
cylinder bore liners for reduced weight.
Rated at 188 horsepower at 5,600 RPM and 177 lb - ft of torque at 1,600 - 5,200 RPM, the 16 - valve DOHC aluminum - alloy inline 4 -
cylinder engine includes a 10.5:1 compression ratio, Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS), spray -
coated and mirror - finish
cylinder bores, a variable pressure oil pump and a low - pressure EGR system, which helps lower exhaust gas temperature and improve knock sensitivity.
The engine also utilizes mirror
bore cylinder coating to help reduce engine weight by around three pounds and reduces friction between the piston ring and the
cylinder wall (versus heavy cast iron
cylinder liners).
The new TCe engine incorporates the latest Alliance - developed innovations, including Mirror
Bore Coating, a cylinder coating technology used for the Nissan GT - R engine to improve energy efficiency by reducing friction and optimizing heat cond
Coating, a

coating technology used for the Nissan GT - R engine to improve energy efficiency by reducing friction and optimizing heat conduction.
And instead of liners, the
cylinder bores feature a twin - wire arc - sprayed
coating, which results in a significant reduction in engine weight.
Plasma
coated cylinder liners, a central oil supply through the crankshaft with larger
bearing diameters, larger connecting rod
bearings and the rigid valve train with shims to provide valve clearance compensation all carry over from the 2018 911 GT3.
Built almost completely from a high - strength silicon - aluminum alloy, the
cylinder bores make use of a twin - wire - arc - sprayed (TWAS)
coating, a process that results in impressively low friction and running surfaces that are twice as hard as conventional cast - iron
cylinders.
