hi i have been itching to swap a boosted juke motor into my 09 versa but i eventually saw that i could pick up a full mr18de for less than 500$ and thought why not just fully build that?
so my question is, and doing my best to stay non-turbo, can i start with the block and just rebuild it with performance parts? obviously i know they dont just have specific mr18 parts, but can i just take the stroke and bore and manipulate my compression ratio, adjust the timing for a long fuel/air intake, increase the size of the injectors, bore and polish the head, fully dumped exhaust, etc? they only real issue i see is
1.) i dont know how much the stock block can handle, or if too much fuel will make it go boom.
2.) tranny....6 speed is so fun to drive, i would have the mounts reinforced and would hope the same goes for the engine mounts.
3.) ECU, idk if itll run after but i guess if the distributor is still timed properly it would spark fine.
clearly i need some help so please point me in the right direction, i have the full capability of building the engine from the block up i just need to know the battles i will be enduring, or if someone can just go ahead and tell me to move onto a new project.
thanks!
