Today My engine died at 211,000 km (130k miles)
do you advice an mr20 and is it more efficient and do you feel more power

Sorry about the engine, but a few folks have successfully upgraded to the MR20 with a bit better power and fuel economy.
There are a few threads for the MR20 swap somewhere.
imo, go for it!

Does the 1.8 exhaust header bolt on mr20

Does the 1.8 exhaust header bolt on mr20

Yes! The MR18 and MR20 use the same exact exhaust header.

It's a straight swap. There is a tutorial here somewhere that had comprehensive pictures and everything on what needs to be transferred over and all that. I think it's an 18HP and 20 ft.lbs gain, stock. Probably gain another 10 from hotrodding the head. The small displacement increase should make all the other mods more fruitful than on a 1.8, only slight though. That's what I'm doing.

Thanks everyone , just got some stuff clear and today im going to buy the mr20 and will keep you updated

Damn you are so lucky your mr18 died. Some people are stuck with them running for much longer. Now you get more power and better mpgs.


LOL was just trying to make you feel better about your situation .

 

[07Versa6MT]

Yeah.. shit I wish mine died.

 

[nissantiida]

lol, i hope urs die soon

 

[07Versa6MT]

Yeah, but just a gradual death. I don't want to blow it up. It's my daily driver. Unfortunately no signs of that, doesn't burn a single drop of oil. I won't have to add oil for the entire interval.

I love how were all like "congratulations, your mr18 died" True enthusiasts. Good luck on your upgrade/swap.

Congratulations on the new engine!!!

 

[nissantiida]

Finally installed mr20 , it feels more powerful , raced today with 1.8 2008 ricer civic and won lol

 

[07Versa6MT]

Anyone know if the exhaust diameter is different on the Sentra's? I have a feeling power could be lost using the stock Versa exhaust, it is only 1.5" I think.

the engine costed about 1800 dirhams , and labour costed 400 , and the transmission fluid + engine oil costed around 180 all together and this was a jappan imported engine , plus this is the abu dhabi price , you can find it much cheaper in sharjah industrial. and will post some pics soon
