PSA XU engine
Encyclopedia
The PSA XU is a family of internal combustion engine
s used in Citroën
and Peugeot
automobile
s. This family is best known as the engine of the Peugeot 305
.
The XU design was introduced in 1981 with the Peugeot 305
. It was a SOHC or DOHC straight-4
design with two or four valves per cylinder, using petrol as fuel. It was applied transversely in front wheel drive vehicles only, tilted by 30°. Displacement ranged between 1580 and 1998 cc, and all XU gasoline engines had a bore of 83 mm (3.3 in) or 86 mm (3.4 in).
The XU was replaced by the more modern EW/DW family
.
of 73 mm (2.9 in). All XU5 engines were SOHC 2-valve per cylinder designs. It used either a single or double-barrel carburetor
or fuel injection
, depending on model. Output ranged from 80–115 PS (79–113 hp/59–85 kW).
The plastic timing covers for these engines have been discontinued and are notoriously difficult to find.
of 81.4 mm (3.2 in). All XU7 engines used fuel injection
, with a 16-valve
DOHC version, the XU7 JP4, also produced. Output ranged from 90–112 PS (89–110 hp/66–82 kW).
of 82 mm (3.2 in). Just a single version was produced, the 16-valve
DOHC turbocharged XU8 T, which was fitted to the 205 Turbo16. Output was 200 PS (197 hp/147 kW).
of 88 mm (3.5 in). Many versions were produced, from a double-barrel carburetted 8-valve to a 16-valve
DOHC fuel injected model. Output ranged from 105–160 PS (104–158 hp/77–118 kW).
of 86 mm (3.4 in). Many versions were produced, from a double-barrel carburetted 8-valve to a 16-valve
DOHC fuel injected turbocharged model. Output ranged from 115–200 PS (113–197 hp/84–147 kW).
Internal combustion engine
The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer in a combustion chamber. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high-temperature and high -pressure gases produced by combustion apply direct force to some component of the engine...
