The Mazda B-series is a small-sized, iron-block, inline four-cylinder engine with belt-driven SOHC and DOHC valvetrain ranging in displacement from 1.1 to 1.8 litres. It was used in a wide variety of applications, from front-wheel drive economy vehicles to the turbocharged full-time 4WD 323 GTX and rear-wheel drive Miata .
82-414: The B-series is a "non-interference" design, meaning that breakage of its timing belt does not result in damage to valves or pistons, because the opening of the valves, the depth of the combustion chamber and (in some variants) the shaping of the piston crown allow sufficient clearance for the open valves in any possible piston position. 1.1 L (1,138 cc) B1 - (68.0x78.4 mm) - came only as
164-585: A SOHC 8-valve. It was available in the 1987-1989 Mazda 121 and later model Kia Sephia in European and Asian markets. A fuel-injected variant was used in select European market 1991-1995 Mazda 121s The 1.3 L (1,290 cc) BJ engine (78.0x67.5 mm) was a DOHC 16-valve engine, used only in the Japanese market Ford Festiva GT, GT-X, and GT-A models (1986.10-1993.01, GT-A from March 1991). It generates 88 PS (65 kW) at 7000 rpm and
246-421: A piston engine , either a timing belt (also called a cambelt ) or timing chain or set of timing gears is a perishable component used to synchronize the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft . This synchronisation ensures that the engine's valves open and close at the correct times in relation to the position of the pistons. In most piston engines , the camshaft (s) are mechanically connected to

The colours available on the pre-facelift Rio are Clear White (standard colour), Bright Silver, Midnight Black, Blaze Red, Electric Blue (2, 3 & 4), and Graphite Metallic, the latter only being available on 3 and 4 models. The facelift brought two new colours to the Rio; Urban Blue, replacing Electric Blue and
492-721: A B5D, with 110 PS (81 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 145 Nm at 4,400 rpm without variable valve timing and with a 9.2:1 compression ratio. The B5D was also found in the Autozam AZ-3, a Japanese market version of the Mazda MX-3 , where it produces 120 PS (88 kW). The Kia Rio from 2000 to 2005 also has a B5 variant, but with a different bore/stroke ratio from all others (75.5 mm bore, 83.4 mm stroke, 1493 cc total). This motor produced 100 PS (74 kW) and 135 N⋅m (100 lb⋅ft). 1.6 L (1,597 cc) B6 — (78.0x83.6 mm) — This

The engine uses a DOHC 16-valve alloy head with a lightened crankshaft and flywheel to allow a 7,200 rpm redline. An aluminum sump with cooling fins
656-480: A choice of a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed F4A-EL automatic . An alternative of a 1.3-litre (1,343 cc) SOHC four-cylinder/eight-valve petrol, producing 75 hp (56 kW) was offered in some other countries, including the United Kingdom and most of continental Europe. The USA-version five-door featured power steering and a tachometer , optional on the sedan. The European version
738-423: A direct gear drive. This is because gear drives suffer from frequent torque reversal as the cam profiles "kick back" against the drive from the crank, leading to excessive noise and wear. Timing gears are used in various overhead valve engines , due to the close proximity of the camshaft to the crankshaft. Fiber or nylon covered gears, with more resilience, are often used instead of steel gears where direct drive
820-565: A fuel-injected version called the B6F was available. In Europe, the B6 also came in a 16-valve DOHC version, mostly found in the Mazda 323 BG and 323F BG models from 1989 to 1994. This engine was the same 1.6 liter fuel-injected, but with two camshafts and 88 hp. Kia's version of the B6 (16-valve DOHC) had a marginally shorter stroke (at 83.4 mm), for a total displacement of 1,594 cc. This engine
902-469: A lesser 1.4-litre version with 96 hp (72 kW) and a 1.5-litre turbo-diesel engine with 109 hp. However, in the US market only the 1.6-litre gasoline engine is offered, in two body styles: a four-door-sedan and a five-door hatch.

The Rio replaced the first generation Pride —a rebadged version of the Ford Festiva —and the Avella , a subcompact sold as a Ford in some markets. A second generation was introduced in 2005 in Europe and in 2006 in North America , sharing its platform with
1312-450: A timing belt, while the 1966 Fiat Twin Cam engine was the first mass-produced engine to use a timing belt with twin camshafts. Metal timing chains have become more widespread in car engines produced since the 1990s, due to the lack of the regular maintenance task of replacing a rubber timing belt. While the chains themselves are subject to minimal wear, lubrication of the chain or failure of
1394-624: Is a DOHC 4 valves per cylinder variant of the B8. This Inline-four engine was called BP-ZE by Mazda engineers and featured a forged crankshaft , piston oil squirters, a structural aluminium oil pan with cooling fins, a 7,000 rpm redline , and Variable Inertia Charging System (VICS) which is activated by a control solenoid at high rpm to increase horsepower in the upper rev range. The engine in base form on 91 RON fuel produces 96 kW (131 PS; 129 bhp) at 6,000 rpm and 165 N⋅m (122 lbf⋅ft) at 4,000 rpm. The engine

The 2012 Rio received Marginal to Good ratings from
2050-427: Is recommended at specific intervals. Replacement of the engine's water pump at the same time is often recommended, since the water pump is also subject to wear and easily accessed during the replacement of the timing belt. Timing belts are typically located in front of the engine and are often behind a cover for protection against dust and debris. However a few engines since 2008 have used "wet timing belts", whereby
2132-625: Is reinforced with a fabric covering. Rubber degrades with higher temperatures, and with contact with motor oil . Thus the life expectancy of a timing belt is lowered in hot or leaky engines. Also, the life of the reinforcing cords is also affected by water and antifreeze, so it is important that belt that can be exposed to water is able to drain the water away quickly. Older belts have trapezoid shaped teeth leading to high rates of tooth wear. Newer manufacturing techniques allow for curved teeth that are quieter and last longer. Manufacturer-specification timing belts may stretch at high rpm, retarding
2214-418: Is used. However, commercial engines and aircraft engines use steel gears only, as the other materials can fail suddenly and without warning. Failure of the timing system will prevent an engine from running. Many modern cars use interference engines , which can suffer catastrophic damage in the event of timing system failure, since the loss of synchronization between the crankshaft and the camshaft will cause

Euro NCAP test results for a LHD, 5-door hatchback variant on a 2005 registration: Starting from the third generation, the Rio was split into two different models, one being the global model (codename: UB ), and the other is a specific model for Russia and China (codename: QB ). The global third-generation Rio debuted on March 1, 2011, at
5166-536: The intake on cold start for emissions purposes, rather than the torque enhancing set of partial butterflies that increase velocity that are used in VICS. This was found in the 2001+ Miata. The Z family is an evolution of this engine. In Australia, a turbocharged version of this engine produced 157 kW (211 hp) and 280 N⋅m (207 lb⋅ft) in the Mazda MX-5 SP . Timing belt (camshaft) In
5248-411: The models from 1998 to 2005. The Japanese version of the engine also had a 9.4:1 compression ratio and produced 120 hp (88 kW) at 6,500 and 136 N⋅m (100 lb⋅ft) at 5,500. After 1998 the power was increased to 125 hp (92 kW) at 6,500 and 143 N⋅m (105 lb⋅ft) at 5,000. 1.7 L (1,720 cc) PN27 - (78x90 mm) The PN27 is a 1720cc B6 based diesel motor used in
5330-467: The option of a 1.25-litre petrol engine, as well as a 1.4-litre or 1.1-litre CRDi turbo-diesel engine - the 1.1-litre engine having the lowest CO 2 emissions and highest MPG of any non-electric or hybrid car currently on sale at time of writing; up to 88 mpg on the EU combined cycle (73 mpg in US gallons) and emitting only 85 grams of CO 2 per kilometer. This market, however, lacked the 1.6-litre engine, with
5412-457: The performance of the engine to produce 209 hp (156 kW) and 184 lb·ft (255 N·m). The VICS system of the N/A BP has been removed, as well as the boost cut from the ecu. This engine was designed to power Mazda to a world rally championship win, and was thus used in the limited production Mazda Familia GT-R (2,200 built) and GTAe (300 built). The 1999 MX-5 uses a modified BP,
5494-641: The range models (i.e., Rio LX, in the UK, and Rio LS, in Greece). There was a version called the Sports-Pac, which featured a bonnet scoop, a rear wing, golden wheels, and blue paint, all inspired by the Subaru Impreza WRX STi. Mechanically the Sports-Pac was identical to regular models, with the exception of lowered suspension. In 2002, the Rio received a mild redesign (for the 2003 model year in
5576-466: The steering wheel receives the same design as the Kia Soul and Kia Forte , featuring optional Bluetooth hands-free phone operation, and the gauges cluster receives a new red backlit design. The headlights were modified slightly, with a darker appearance and parking lights and side-marker lights sharing the turn-signal housing. Side moldings on the car became narrower and body-colored. For the UK version,
5658-408: The tensioner and chain guides can cause maintenance issues. By contrast to rubber-based timing belts which give no indication of snapping while one is driving, early symptoms of a timing chain system becoming worn exist, and these include a rattling noise from the front of the engine. Most pushrod engines , where the crankshaft and camshaft are very close together, use a short chain drive rather than
5740-519: The third-generation Rio was awarded Semperit Irish Car of the Year and in December was awarded Australian Carsguide 's 2011 Car of the Year award as well, triumphing over many other vehicles including the likes of the Range Rover Evoque and the recently facelifted Ford Territory . The UB Rio featured 1.4-litre or 1.6-litre Hyundai GDI Gamma engines . The European market also received
5822-399: The timing belt or chain. For this reason, timing belts and chains are often sold as part of a kit with the water pump, tensioner, and idler pulleys so that these parts can be replaced to prevent timing belt or chain failure due to failure of these parts. Kia Rio The Kia Rio ( Korean : 기아 리오 ) is a subcompact car manufactured by Kia from 1999 to 2023. Body styles have included
5904-424: The top spec Rio 4 being added to the line up in 2014. The base Rio 1 had the lack of features such as air-conditioning and alloy wheels but all Rio models were equipped with Bluetooth from factory. The Rio VR7 was a special edition model that entered the range in 2014 which was based on a 1 Air model but came with upgraded features such as 15" alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, and a leather steering wheel. This became
5986-403: The valves to collide with the pistons. Warning signs that a timing chain needs to be replaced include: Aside from the belt/chain itself, also common is a failure of the tensioner, and/or the various gear and idler bearings, causing the belt/chain to derail. Furthermore, in engines where the timing belt drives the water pump, failure of the water pump can cause the pump to seize, which can break
6068-532: Was a bored-out version of the B3. The 16-valve SOHC B6 was found in the 1985-1989 and 1990-1994 Mazda 323 , 1991-1993 Mazda MX-3 the 1987-1990 Mercury Tracer , and the 1985-1990 Ford Laser . The 16-valve DOHC B6 was also found in the 1994-1998 Ford Laser KJ/KL , 1997-2004 Kia Sephia , Kia Shuma , 2000-2004 Kia Spectra and 2000-2005 Kia Rio (for export markets). In Japan, the United Kingdom, and Australia
6150-531: Was also a switch from the earlier problematic hydraulic lifters to solid lifters. The engine initially produced 140 hp at 6500 rpm, and 119 lb·ft at 5000 rpm. The United States 2004-2005 Mazdaspeed MX-5 turbo is based on this engine rather than the newer BP-Z3 and produces 178 bhp (180 PS; 133 kW) at 6000 rpm and 226 N⋅m; 166 lbf⋅ft (23 kg⋅m) of torque at 4500 rpm with slightly reduced compression ratio of 9.5:1. The Mazdaspeed turbo engine has no VICS, but does have VTCS which
6232-484: Was also the base engine for the Mazda Familia GT-R and GT-Ae. It is commonly known as the 'big turbo' variant as it utilised a much larger IHI RHF6CB water-cooled turbocharger (vj23). The BPD was used as the basis for the engine, with changes such as sodium-filled exhaust valves, larger (and front-mounted) intercooler, larger (440 cc) low impedance fuel injectors and stronger engine internals helping to up
6314-411: Was an option on almost all available trim and engine levels. In the UK the Rio was available in seven different trim levels in total across its lifespan. In price order from lowest to highest, the Rio trim levels are: 1, 1 Air, VR7 / SR7, 2, 3, and 4. From launch in 2011, the trim levels available were 2 and 3, with the more basic 1, starting from £10,695, and 1 Air trims coming one year later in 2012 and
6396-536: Was mainly used in the Japanese domestic market. The B5-ME, equipped with electronic fuel injection, was used by Kia for several of their cars as well as in the Mazda Demio . 1.5 L (1,498 cc) B5D - (78.0x78.4 mm) - A Japanese-only variant of the B5 with fuel injection and revised head/intake system. Found in the 1989-1994 BG Familia and Ford Laser S. Power output is 120 PS (88 kW) at 6,500 rpm and 13.5 kg⋅m (132 N⋅m; 98 lb⋅ft) at 5,500 rpm. The Timor S515i also used
6478-521: Was marketed under several trim levels; standard equipment for all trims included a driver airbag. Additional features were available for promotion in Greece, including leather seats and car alarm. In Europe, the various national markets received different selections of the three engines. The domestic Korean market versions did not include the 1.6-liter version, as the South Korean taxation system heavily penalizes cars of more than 1,500 cc. Claimed outputs for
6560-621: Was slightly more powerful, producing 140 PS (103 kW) and 19.0 kg⋅m (186 N⋅m) due to better intake manifold design and its ability to run 100 octane fuel. For the special rally homologation BFMR Familia GT-Ae model released in 1987, power and torque were raised to 150 PS (110 kW) and 20.0 kg⋅m (196 N⋅m) respectively through the use of a slightly different turbocharger; engine internals remained otherwise identical. 1.6 L (1,597 cc) B6D - (78.0x83.6 mm) - The same strengthened and fuel-injected 16-valve DOHC B6 but with higher compression, no turbo, and
6642-549: Was the American 1954 Devin-Panhard racing car, used an engine converted from pushrods to overhead camshafts through the use of a toothed belt made by the Gilmer Company. This car won the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) National Championship in 1956. The 1962 Glas 1004 was the first mass-produced vehicle to use a timing belt. The 1966 Pontiac OHC Six engine was the first US mass-produced vehicle to use
6724-506: Was used in the Rio , Sephia II , and Shuma . 1.6 L (1,597 cc) B6-2E - (78.0x83.6 mm), also known as B6-ME - This was a variant of the B6-E with a SOHC, 16-valve cylinder head. 1.6 L (1,597 cc) B6T - (78.0x83.6 mm) - The ubiquitous turbocharged , fuel-injected and intercooled 16-valve DOHC B6, released in 1985 and used in numerous models worldwide including
