I'm going to go out on a limb but if I was to do an engine swap in my Versa I would want to go with the F4R that come in our sister car the Renault Clio RenaultSport. it is a 2.0L engine that delivers 197hp. I think that would be the way to go.

all current Nissan and Renault engines are produced to be interchangeable the 1.6's in the Versa's are also sold in many Renault's as well. the MR20DE that is in the Sentra is also sold in the Renault Clio, Megane, Laguna, it a profit generator for both companies.

MR16DDT would be my second choice. well when my 1.8 dies in another 250K miles I figure by then I will know what to replace it with.

My idea is to call my friends in France and try to import one and see how much the cost would be.

I'm also a member of the Renault Owners Club of North America so I have some contacts. I will leave a message there and see what they think of the likelihood of being able to import the engine.

I will, I love my V and want it to last at least 20 years.
