i-CTDi
i-CTDi, an abbreviation for Common Rail Turbo Diesel Injection, is the common rail technology used in Honda's automobiles produced and sold in the Europe market between 2002-2008. It is the general name of direct injection turbodiesel diesel engines. Its production was completely discontinued in 2008 and was replaced by İ-DTEC.
i-CTDi engines
[edit]The first i-CTDi engine was a version of the GM Circle L engine, derived from the Isuzu 4EE1 but then licensed and built by Honda with the addition of their i-CTDi system. It uses the i-CTDi features of a second-generation high-pressure common rail injection system, together with a variable-geometry turbocharger.
They are Euro 4 compliant, which was required for sale into Europe from 2005[i] onwards.

[edit]The Honda N22A engine is Honda's first in-house developed diesel engine.[1] The project to develop this engine had been underway since 1995 under lead engineer Kenichi Nagahiro and the first engines were released in 2003.[2][3] Nagahiro's dissatisfaction with the clumsiness of older diesel engines was an inspiration to make something better.[4] This "Hate something, change something" message became the theme of Honda's 2004 advertising campaign 'Grrr'.[5] In 2005 the N22A was awarded the title of 'International Engine of the Year' for 2.0-2.5 l engines.
