Nissan Sunny Catalytic Converter N14 (1990-1995)

The catalytic converter in the Nissan Sunny N14 (1990-1995) is a key part of the vehicle's exhaust system designed to reduce harmful emissions from the gasoline engine. It uses precious metals coated on a ceramic honeycomb to convert toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into less harmful substances before they exit the exhaust.

This component helps the car meet Euro 2 emission standards and protects the environment by significantly lowering pollution levels. It is mainly positioned under the seat in some hatchback versions and is compatible with engines like the 1.4 i 16V (87 HP) and variants such as GA14DS and GA14DE.

The catalytic converters are compatible with several gasoline engine configurations of the Nissan Sunny N14, including:

• 1.4 i 16V producing 87 HP (64 kW), fitted on sedan and hatchback models from 1990 to 1995 (engine codes GA14DE, GA14DS).
• CA18DET turbocharged variant found on some Sunny III N14 hatchbacks.
• Other petrol versions like 1.4 i TASQ hatchbacks for the same period.

Body styles supported include both the sedan and hatchback (N14 Hayon) versions, all adhering to Euro 2 emission regulations.

Common references for Nissan Sunny N14 catalytic converters include both original and aftermarket options:

• Nissan OEM codes such as 2080070J26, 2080074C28, 208023J325, and B080099B05 for models from 1990-1995.
• General aftermarket references like DT8001, which meet Euro 2 standards and fit under the seat on 82 HP hatchbacks.
• Specific parts for 1.4 i TASQ variant like BP322043M10 with detailed technical data available on request.

Weights can vary, for example some products like reference 18353 weigh around 2.5 kg, and warranty periods of up to 3 years are commonly offered.

On the Nissan Sunny N14, particularly hatchback models, the catalytic converter is often positioned underneath the rear seat area rather than the traditional position in the exhaust manifold or front pipe. This unique location supports efficient emission control while fitting the compact design of the car.

Its compact size and integration with the exhaust system ensure proper engine performance while maintaining fuel efficiency and emission compliance.

Common signs indicating a faulty catalytic converter include :

• Warning light activation on the dashboard related to emissions.
• Increased fuel consumption or reduced engine performance.
• Unusual metallic noises indicating damage or internal blockage.
• Failed emissions tests during vehicle inspections.

If such symptoms persist, it is recommended to have the catalytic converter inspected and replaced if necessary, using only new original or equivalent high-quality catalytic converters to maintain engine efficiency and environmental compliance.

When selecting a catalytic converter for your Nissan Sunny N14, consider :

• Compatibility with your engine type and model year (1990-1995).
• Certification to meet Euro 2 emission standards.
• Use of stainless steel INOX 409 construction and high-quality monoliths with rare metal coating for durability and performance.
• Availability of a warranty, preferably up to 3 years or 100,000 km usage.
• Proper references and specifications aligned with original manufacturing standards.

Purchasing from reliable sources providing genuine new catalytic converters ensures maximum efficiency, longevity, and regulatory compliance of your vehicle's emissions system.

Yes, other exhaust system components related to the catalytic converter include :

• Fuel filters compatible with the 1.4i 16V engines, which may affect overall fuel efficiency.
• Sensors such as oxygen sensors (lambda sensors) involved in monitoring exhaust gases to optimize engine management.
• Bolts and brackets required to properly mount and secure the catalytic converter assembly.

Ensuring these associated parts are in good condition and properly installed helps maintain the catalytic converter's performance and your car’s emission compliance.

For detailed technical specifications, compatibility checks, and installation guidance, consider :

• Accessing authorized professional catalogs and technical documentation for Nissan Sunny N14 parts.
• Consulting with technical support teams who can provide installation manuals and confirm compatibility via vehicle identification numbers (VIN).
• Reviewing manufacturer datasheets and emission standards compliance certificates for your specific catalytic converter reference.

Reliable professional support ensures correct application and helps troubleshoot any issues during installation or operation, preserving your vehicle’s performance and compliance with environmental regulations.

Contact authorized distributors or professional service centers for further assistance and access to original new catalytic converters.
