The Daihatsu CB-23 engine, a compact and reliable powerplant, powered a range of Daihatsu vehicles in the 1970s and 1980s. This engine was known for its simplicity and durability, characteristics that made it popular for both passenger and commercial applications. The CB-23 engine is a 1.0-liter, four-cylinder, naturally aspirated, air-cooled gasoline engine. It features an overhead valve (OHV) design, with a single camshaft operating the valves through pushrods and rocker arms. This simple layout made it easy to maintain and repair, further contributing to its popularity. Though its power output was modest at around 45 horsepower, the CB-23's fuel efficiency and robustness made it a suitable engine for small vehicles in a range of market segments.
The CB-23 engine was primarily used in Daihatsu's compact car models, including the Daihatsu Fellow and the Daihatsu Compagno. These vehicles were popular with families and commuters, seeking affordability and reliability. The CB-23 also found its way into Daihatsu's commercial vehicles, including the Daihatsu Hijet, a small pickup truck that was widely used for deliveries and light hauling. Over its production run, the CB-23 engine underwent several minor revisions and improvements, including changes to the carburetor, ignition system, and cooling system. These modifications aimed to enhance performance, fuel efficiency, and overall reliability. Despite its age, the CB-23 remains a popular engine among enthusiasts and mechanics, thanks to its simplicity, durability, and relatively easy availability of parts.
