The Renault R9M 1.6 dCI 130 is a 1.6 l (1,598 cc, 97.51 cu-in) straight-four 4-stroke turbocharged diesel engine from the new Energy family co-developed by the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The engine is produced since 2011.
The Renault / Nissan R9M engine has an aluminum head with double overhead camshafts (DOHC) and four valves per cylinder (16 valves in total). The R9M 1.6 dCI 130 has a common-rail direct injection system, variable geometry turbocharger (VTG), “Start-Stop” system, exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR) with a cold cycle, diesel particulate filter (DPF) and Smart electrical management. There is a more powerful version of this motor with twin-turbocharger.
It has an 80.0 mm (3.15 in) cylinder bore and 79.5 mm (3.13 in) piston stroke. Compression ratio rating is 15.4:1. The R9M 1.6 dCI 130 produces from 130 PS (96 kW; 130 HP) at 4,000 rpm or 136 PS (100 kW; 134 HP) at 4,000 rpm of horsepower and from 320 Nm (32.6 kg·m; 236.2 ft·lb) at 1,750 rpm or 330 Nm (33.7 kg·m; 243.6 ft·lb) at 1,750 rpm of torque.
Twin-turbochargered version produced from 160 PS (120 kW; 160 HP) at 4,000 rpm or 180 PS (130 kW; 180 HP) at 4,000 rpm of maximum output power and 380 Nm (38.8 kg·m; 280.4 ft·lb) at 1,750 rpm or 400 Nm (40.8 kg·m; 295.2 ft·lb) at 1,750 rpm of maximum torque.

any1 know main bearing and connecting rod bearing torques for R9M??
Im looking for them as well. Did you finally get them?
Is the correct size of the connecting rod small end diameter not supposed to be 30mm instead of 32mm? The M9r is 32mm
