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

328-501: A 'Premium Supervision cluster', a larger information display within the driver gauges. Finally, the top spec Rio 4 gained features such as a sunroof, black leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, and keyless entry & start over the 3 model. After the facelift in 2015, the Rio 3 and 4 gained a multi-function touchscreen with satellite navigation and a reversing camera, exclusive to these higher models. There were four engines available in

410-431: A 6-speed manual, with an option of a 4-speed automatic on the 1.4 petrol, which was also available in the Rio 2. 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 European version's common rail diesel engine produces 110 PS (81 kW). In 2007, an SX trim level was added to the Rio sedan with the same features supplied with

984-678: A more conservative design than the UB Rio. This version was also released to Chinese market, badged as the Kia K2. The fourth-generation Rio also consists of two different models, one being the global model produced in South Korea, Mexico and Algeria known with the model code YB or SC, and the other is a specific model for Russia and China known with the model code FB or UC and produced in the aforementioned countries and in Ukraine. Kia presented

1066-699: A peak 120 hp (122 PS; 89 kW). The facelifted Rio featured changes in the front fascia with a revised bumper design. It was first introduced in Europe in May 2020, along with the inclusion of a 1.0-litre mild hybrid engine to replace the previous 1.0-litre T-GDi engine. The facelifted model went on sale in Mexico in October 2020. In the US and Canada, the facelifted model was introduced in December 2020 for

1148-557: A redesigned platform shared with the Hyundai Accent . The engine was upgraded to a 110 hp 1.6-litre DOHC four-cylinder "Alpha II" engine now also shared with the Hyundai Accent. Other changes include a new exterior design, an increase in exterior size and interior volume, increased safety features and fuel economy . The station wagon was dropped with this generation in favor of a new 5-door hatchback. Kia offered

1230-635: A three and five-door hatchback and four-door sedan , equipped with inline-four gasoline and diesel engines, and front-wheel drive . 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

1476-403: Is a favourite for both N/A and turbo motoring enthusiasts for its robust design, materials and construction. This particular variant can be found in the following vehicles: There is also a non-performance SOHC version that is most easily recognized by its black stamped-steel oil pan. It also features a cast crankshaft, no oil squirters, a plastic oil pickup tube and less aggressive camshafts. It

1558-616: Is an export-only model since it is not offered in the South Korean domestic market due to decreasing sales of its predecessor. In the country, the Rio-based Stonic crossover was offered instead. In European markets, the car is only offered in a 5-door hatchback form, while the 3-door hatchback option was discontinued. In other markets such as the Americas, both the 5-door hatchback and sedan body styles are offered. For

1640-461: Is an unusual feature of this engine. The US and European version (1990-1993) had a 9.4:1 compression ratio and produced 115 hp (85 kW) at 6,500 rpm, and 136 N⋅m (100 lb⋅ft) of torque at 5,500 rpm. The later European version (1994-1997) produced 90 hp (66 kW) at 6,500 rpm, and 129 N⋅m (95 lb⋅ft) at 5,500 rpm. It was then updated to 110 hp (81 kW) at 6,500 rpm and 134 N⋅m (99 lb⋅ft) at 5,000 rpm for

1722-582: Is equipped with Mazda's "EGi" single-point fuel injection . It is a short-stroke version of the B5 / B6 engines. 1.3 L (1,324 cc) B3 – (71.0×83.6 mm). It was available in SOHC variants and was found in the Kia-built 1988–1993 Ford Festiva , the 1987–1989 Mazda Familia and its derivatives, as well as the Mazda 121 (also known as Autozam Revue) in 54 and 72 PS (40 and 53 kW) versions, and

1804-675: Is found in the 1995-1998 Mazda Protege ES . The BPT is a turbocharged and intercooled variant of the BP. It produced 180 PS (132 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 24.2 kg⋅m (237 N⋅m; 175 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4,000 rpm in JDM-spec from G7+ CJ26 AH7 crankshaft. 95 octane rated European models only claimed 166 PS (122 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 219 N⋅m (162 lb⋅ft) at 3,000 rpm. It featured an IHI RHB5 VJ20 turbocharger, sidemount intercooler, 330 cc blacktop injectors (high impedance). The BPT versions of

1886-501: Is often mistaken to be related to VICS. Applications: In 2001, Mazda introduced the still 1.8 L (1,839 cc) BP-Z3 (also called BP-VE ) variant of the BP engine. It features S-VT variable valve timing on the intake side, no more VICS , but there is Variable Tumble Control System (VTCS) in the BP-Z3. A similar looking but effectively very different set of valves that restrict

1968-595: Is only available on Rio 2 and 3, and Yellow Zest, a colour exclusive to the SR7 trim. Graphite Metallic still remains available on the facelift Rio but only on the Rio 4. The Korean-made Rio Sedan in its most basic Latin American market configuration with no airbags, no ABS and no ESC received 0 stars for adult occupants and 1 star for toddlers from Latin NCAP in May 2017. 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

2296-454: The BP-4W , which replaces the old hall effect dual Cam Angle Sensor unit mounted at the back of the exhaust cam with two separate Hall Effect units at the front - one on the intake cam gear and one mounted on the oil pump, to the side of the crankshaft pulley. It also has an improved intake system (a better flowing cylinder head because of the angle of the intake ports being changed). There

The vehicle feature sloping shoulder lines and wedge-shaped exteriors, which is inline with other Kia models at the time such as the 2011 Optima and Sportage. The Rio also feature its own interpretation of Kia's signature grille known as the "Tiger Nose", which is slimmed down to connect to

2460-595: The Hyundai Accent , a subcompact manufactured by its sister Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea . In August 2023, the K3 was introduced as its successor in several markets such as Mexico and the GCC countries. The first generation Kia Rio (referred internally as the "DC") was offered in both four-door sedan and five-door station wagon body styles. When released, it was the least-expensive mass-produced car to be sold in

2624-416: The crankshaft . The crankshaft drives the camshaft (via a timing belt, timing chain or gears), which in turn actuates the intake and exhaust valves . These valves allow the engine to inhale air (or an air/fuel mixture) and exhale the exhaust gasses. The most common devices to transfer the drive are toothed rubber belts, metal timing chains or a set of gears. The teeth of the belt/chain/gears mesh with both

2706-546: The "Rio". In South Korea, this was the only generation to use the "Rio" name, as the "Pride" name was used from the second generation onwards. The first generation Rio offered only one engine for each model year in the United States: a 96 hp (72 kW) 1.5-litre DOHC I4 gasoline engine from 2001 through 2002. Then a larger version appeared, a 1.6-litre DOHC four-cylinder rated at 104 hp (78 kW) used for model years 2003 through 2005. All years offered

2788-419: The 1.4-litre being the most powerful on offer. Transmission options included a 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic for the American market, with the European market receiving a 5-speed manual for the 1.25-litre Petrol engine, a 6-speed manual for the 1.4-litre petrol, 1.1-litre and 1.4-litre diesels and a 4-speed automatic for the 1.4-litre petrol "2" spec model in 5-door configuration. Intelligent stop & go

2870-453: The 1970s and 1980s, however since the 1990s timing chains have become more common due to the replacement intervals required when using timing belts. The phrase "timing belt" usually refers to a rubber toothed belt . The advantages of timing belts are typically a lower cost, reduced friction losses, less noise and that belts traditionally do not require lubrication. The main disadvantage is that belts wear over time, therefore belt replacement

2952-494: The 1985-1989 Mazda Familia BFMR/BFMP (turbo), 1985-1989 Ford Laser TX3 turbo, and 1991-1994 Mercury Capri XR2. This engine was most commonly found mated to a 4WD drivetrain although FWD models were also available. Power and torque outputs varied across markets due to emission and fuel standards. The B6T available in North America came with 132 hp (98 kW) and 136 lb⋅ft (184 N⋅m). The Japanese version

The Rio 2 gained 16" alloy wheels, front fog lights, and heated power-folding door mirrors over the VR7 / SR7 but had a lack of parking sensors amongst the standard equipment. The Rio 3 and 4 were the higher trim levels within the range, with the Rio 3 receiving features such as 17" diamond-cut alloy wheels, heated front seats, LED daytime running lights & rear lights, automatic & cornering headlights, automatic climate control, and

3772-528: The Rio is one of the least expensive vehicles to insure. For the Malaysian market, the second generation Rio was launched on the 7 September 2005 available with only one trim level with only the hatchback body style and powered by a 1.4-litre 16 valve DOHC engine with a 4-speed automatic gearbox and was fully imported from South Korea. For the 2010 model year, the models received a facelift in late 2009, adopting Kia's new Tiger nose grille. In addition,

3854-481: The Rio looks exactly the same as the US version, except that only the hatchback variant is sold there. It has Kia's new 'Tiger Nose' grille (for the 2010 model) and is powered by a 1.4-litre DOHC four-cylinder 16-valve petrol engine, or a 1.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder 16-valve diesel. They both have a five speed manual gearbox. This facelifted Kia Rio was never being sold in the markets of Central and Southeastern Europe, apparently due to dismal sales, as well as due to

3936-432: The Rio. These are all from Kia's ECOdynamics engine range, consisting of a 1.2 litre and 1.4 litre four-cylinder petrol, a 1.1 litre three-cylinder diesel, and a 1.4 litre four-cylinder diesel. Rio 1, 1 Air and VR7/SR7 were only available with the 1.2 petrol and 1.1 diesel, and the Rio 2 was available with all four engine options. The 3 and 4 trim levels were only available with the 1.4 petrol and 1.4 diesel, both standard with

4018-673: The Rio5 SX. In 2007, the South Korean government began testing approximately 4,000 pre-production Rio hybrid-electric models, with parent company Hyundai Kia Automotive Group later announcing and subsequently withdrawing anticipated release dates for the hybrid model. For 2008, Kia offered the LX trim level for the Rio5 (similar to the Rio LX sedan) and a limited production of Rio5 SX Tuner models, featuring Falken FK452 tires, Tanabe strut tower brace and Eibach Federn lowering springs .

4264-412: The belt is lubricated by engine oil to reduce friction. In some engine designs the timing belt may also be used to drive other components, such as the water pump and oil pump . A timing belt is typically made from rubber, although some belts are instead made from polyurethane or neoprene. The structure of the belt is reinforced with corded fibres (acting as tension members ) and the toothed surface

4346-405: The cam and therefore the ignition. Stronger aftermarket belts will not stretch and the timing is preserved. When designing the timing belt, a wider belt increases its strength however a narrower belt reduces weight and friction. The usual failure modes of timing belts are either stripped teeth (which leaves a smooth section of belt where the drive cog will slip) or delamination and unraveling of

4428-435: The crankshaft and camshaft(s), thereby synchronising their motion. In many older overhead valve engines, the camshaft is located in the block near the crankshaft, therefore a simple gear system is often used to drive the camshaft. Overhead camshaft engines mostly use timing belts or timing chains, since these are better suited to transferring drive over larger distances. Timing belts were common on mass-production cars until

4510-499: The displacement to 1.5 liters and was found in the 1987-1989 Mazda Familia and the 1987-1989 Ford Laser . It was also fitted to the Mazda Étude coupé and fifth-generation BF-series Familia Wagon, as it continued in production until 1994 along the new BG. There was also a 16-valve, SOHC B5-MI version of the B5, usually fitted with single-point fuel injection ("EGi"). This engine

The first generation hatchback was marketed as the Rio RX-V in South Korea. Safety features included seat belts and an airbag for the driver. ABS was available as an option for entry-line cars but fitted by default for top of

4674-423: The facelifted Rio by SAIPA began in 2005. The cars were not equipped with ABS or airbags until 2012, powered by a version of the 1.5 litre engine which produces 96 hp (72 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 135 N⋅m (100 ft⋅lbf) torque at 4,500 rpm. In early 2012, the production ended. Kia introduced the second generation (JB) in early 2005 model year in Europe and for model year 2006 in North America, based on

4756-402: The fiber cores. Breakage of the belt, because of the nature of the high tensile fibers, is uncommon. Often overlooked, debris and dirt that mix with oil and grease can slowly wear at the belt and materials advancing the wear process, causing premature belt failure. Toothed belts were invented in the early 1940s, for use in textile mills. The first known automobile engine to use a timing belt

4838-530: The first Mazda engine to feature Variable Inertia Charge System (VICS). Most commonly found in the 1985-1988 Japanese market Familias, Études and Lasers, this engine was updated in 1989 with revised compression, heads and intake system (in a similar vein to the B5 DOHC) for the 1989-1991 Familia and Laser, then further refined for the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri and 1994 to 1996, second Generation Mazda MX-3 RS. The third-generation B6D features an alloy cam cover,

The new car was designed in Kia's California and Germany design centers and features longer front overhangs, larger hood and a more upright C-pillars for the hatchback model. The hatchback model is 15 mm longer, 5 mm wider and 5 mm shorter in height than its predecessor. Unlike the previous generations, the fourth-generation Rio

5002-422: The headlamp design. The new design includes a larger air intake. Its extended wheelbase of 2,570 mm (101.2 in) improves passenger and cargo space. The Rio in Europe also receives a 3-door model. It is mechanically identical to the 5-door, though its longer doors give it a more sporting appearance that appeals to younger audiences. The 3-door is also noticeably cheaper than the 5-door. In November 2011,

5084-497: The insufficient production capacities. The 2006 Rio received Poor to Average ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). 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
