PSA EC engine

The PSA EC engine is a family of small inline-four piston engines that PSA based largely on its older TU family, built for China, North Africa and Latin America. The family appeared in 2012 and powers cars such as the Peugeot 301 and the Citroën C-Elysée. The English Wikipedia list of PSA engines gives two versions, the 1.6 litre EC5 with 115 PS (85 kW) and the 1.8 litre EC8 with 136 PS (100 kW). A second reference describes the EC5, also coded NFP, as a budget engine for developing markets, made in Brazil and China, introduced as a modernization of the TU5JP4 unit with a phase regulator on the intake. It keeps distributed fuel injection, a cast iron block, an aluminium 16-valve head, hydraulic lifters and a timing belt, and a flexible-fuel version, the EC5F, was offered for Brazil.
