RF

Naturally aspirated SOHC, 2 valves-per-cylinder, displacing 1,998 cc with square internal dimensions of 86 mm (3.4 in) bore and 86 mm (3.4 in) stroke diesel RF engine was one of Mazda's more popular diesel engines. The R engine has virtually the same block as the Mazda petrol FE engine with identical bell housing pattern and block dimensions.

• Used also in the 1984–1986 Ford Tempo - Mercury Topaz, the 1984–1987 Ford Escort - Mercury Lynx and pre-2001 turbo diesel Suzuki Grand Vitara
• Used in the Mazda Bongo and 1999 Mazda Demio
• Kia Sportage 1998-2003 Turbo-intercooler diesel variant released for Asia

RF 1998

Latest emission improved version used in Mazda 323 adopts a new swirl chamber with an enlarged volume, revised swirl-chamber-to-main-chamber ratio and a narrower throat area. Engine produces 52 kW (71 PS; 70 hp) at 4500 rpm on a raised 21.7:1 compression ratio, and has an exceptionally wide spread of torque throughout its range, peaking with 128 N·m (94 lb·ft) at 3000 rpm.

Further engine features:

• optimized intake manifold, with inertia moment effect flow
• camshaft with Mazda's Multi-Function cam profile theory (increases valve lift to 9.1 mm (0.4 in) and enhances the engine's volumetric efficiency at lower speed range, resulting in an improved torque output, never falling below 108 N·m (80 lb·ft) between 1,500 rpm and 4,500 rpm)
• electrically controlled distributor-type fuel injection pump
• electronically controlled EGR valve

Engines were mounted in:

• Mazda 323 P 3D hatchback and 4D sedan since Juni 1997
• Mazda 323 5D hatchback since August 1998

RF-CX Comprex

• ABB Comprex pressure wave supercharger
• 56 kW (76 PS; 75 hp) at 4000 rpm, 172 N·m (127 lb·ft) at 2000 rpm
• Used in JDM Capellas (1987–1991), introduced in June 1992 European Mazda 626

RF-T DI 1998 (2.0 DiTD)

A direct-injection turbo version (101 bhp) with four valves per cylinder, called the DiTD was introduced in the June 1998 Mazda 626 Wagon 2.0 DiTD. Engine has SOHC valve train with rocker arms and mechanically adjusted screws (no hydraulic valve lifters), with Denso V5 rotary injection pump and Denso PCM.

There were three power versions:

• 66 kW (90 PS; 89 hp) at 4000 rpm with maximum torque 220 N·m (160 lb·ft) at 1800 rpm
• 74 kW (101 PS; 99 hp) at 4000 rpm with maximum torque 220 N·m (160 lb·ft) at 1800–2200 rpm
• 81 kW (110 PS; 109 hp) at 4000 rpm with maximum torque 230 N·m (170 lb·ft) at 2000–2600 rpm

Engines were mounted in:

• Mazda 323 5D hatchback and 4D sedan since August 1998 (66 kW version)
• Mazda 323 5D hatchback and 4D sedan since January 2001 (74 kW version)
• Mazda 626 Capella since June 1998
• Mazda Premacy as DE 2.0L (DIREC-D) Euro III

RF 2002 (2.0 MZR-CD)

Next evolution of RF engine with common rail direct-injection was introduced in June 2002 European version Mazda 6 with output power 89 kW (121 PS; 119 hp) or 100 kW (136 PS; 134 hp) (both at 3500 rpm), depending on engine version (only difference between the two diesel drivetrains is the shape of their respective torque curves, the larger of the two engines being flatter). 2002 RF Mazda diesel engine includes new duel-mass flywheel and common rail Denso injection with max. pressure of 1800 bar, pilot and post-injection for operating smoothness and soft and acoustically unobtrusive combustion. Both versions have same compression ratio 18.3:1. Torque output (both versions have same maximum 310 N·m (230 lb·ft) at 2000 rpm), fuel efficiency and NOx emissions were improved by using:

• expansive vertical vortex combustion (EVVC), which combines a special piston surface design, with ingenious fuel distribution, to produce a vertical swirl in the combustion chamber
• variable turbine geometry (VNT) turbocharger

Combined fuel economy is achieving 6.5 litres per 100 km and emission rating Euro Stage III (D4) with on a regular basis mounted catalytic converter with Lambda probe and exhaust-gas recirculation system (EGR). Engines were mounted in (in order of appearance):

• 1st generation Mazda 6 Atenza (both versions) since June 2002
• 2nd generation Mazda MPV (only High Power version) since June 2002

RF 2005 (2.0 MZR-CD)

Production of improved, cleaner and more powerful common rail direct-injection turbocharged version of Mazda RF engine was started with July 2005 Mazda 6 facelift. This drivetrain still has most of typical features of its predecessor including belt-driven SOHC valve train with rocker arms and mechanically adjusted screws (in contrast to frequently mismatched, absolutely different Ford Duratorq ZSD or PSA DW10 engines). Mazda applied several technologies to this MZR-CD engine to achieve Euro Stage IV:

• new variable geometry turbocharger has 14 percent less inertial moment and is more compact in design (achieved, for instance, by a shorter distance between the exhaust gas inlet and the turbine shaft)
• Denso's 1800 bar second generation common rail system that, depending on driving conditions, uses multi-stage injection of up to nine times per cycle with six-hole injectors
• relatively low compression ratio of 16.7:1 improves power output and torque(???), while at the same time helping to lower combustion noise and emissions
• NOx emissions were reduced by lowering the engine's combustion temperature
• O₂ sensor constantly measures residual oxygen in the exhaust gases and this information is sent to 32-bit powertrain control module (PCM), which continuously optimizes the air/fuel mix

There were two power versions of this engine: Standard Power 89 kW (121 PS; 119 hp) at 3500 rpm and a maximum torque of 320 N·m (240 lb·ft) at 2000 rpm, High Power 105 kW (143 PS; 141 hp) at 3500 rpm and a maximum torque of 360 N·m (270 lb·ft) at 2000 rpm. Both versions come with a DPF system standard, which traps soot in a coated ceramic filter. As soon as the filter's storage capacity is exhausted, exhaust gas temperature is raised for a short period (using only diesel pre and post-injection techniques, not any fuel burner additive) and the particles burn off. As a result, the RF 2005 engines emit 80 percent less particulate matter than required by Euro Stage IV standards. Engines were mounted in (in order of appearance):

• 1st generation Mazda 6 Atenza (both versions) since July 2005
• Mazda 5 Premacy (both versions) since January 2006
• 1st generation Mazda 3 Axela (only High Power version) since March 2007

RF 2007 (2.0 MZR-CD)

Slightly detuned (103 kW (140 PS; 138 hp) at 3500 rpm and 330 N·m (240 lb·ft) at 2000 rpm) version of RF 2005 engine was introduced in November 2007's second generation Mazda 6. Newly calibrated powertrain control module mapping resulted in better drivability, fuel efficiency and emission performance. This engine has changed layout of the intake/exhaust, with more efficient EGR cooler, better DPF and combined fuel consumption 5.6 L/100 km (50 mpg_-imp; 42 mpg_-US), less than its predecessor. Engine was mounted in (in order of appearance):

• 2nd generation Mazda 6 Atenza since November 2007

R2 2008 (2.2 MZR-CD)

New generation RF-based MZR-CD 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine (stroke was lengthened by 8 mm (0.3 in) in comparison to the MZR-CD 2.0 RF engine) was introduced in November 2002 and this powertrain is planned to totally replace RF 2007 and RF 2005 in the future with three (or more, see below) power versions:
