I think 1.6L is to small of a displacement for AWD... AWD has sometimes 20% or more drivetrain loss.
If it was N/A it prolly wouldn't be powerful enough. But when its boosted, its got the torque to do the job, 240Nm = 177ft. lbs. Think of the 2.4L K-series in the Acura TSX, it has 171ft. lbs. torque. Those Nissan engineers really went all out lol.

supposedly this engine is the MR family so all you people wanting to swap engines it may be possible. I personally would be praying the exhaust manifold fit rather then just the engine swap.
It would just make sense to boost the 1.6s/1.8s we got already. Would it really make sense to go out of the way, wait for a written off Juke, and swap the motor? It is way too early to tell lol.

My point exactly. If the exhaust manifold fits our current engines then your good to go. That is the only engine specific part of a turbo system really. Everything else is custom or universal.

I myself think nissan should bring the HR14det over as well. Which is called the TCE 130 and used in renault only vehicles. Turbo everything is my motto. It's like free power. It does not sacrifice gas mileage as long as you can control your right foot :).
Well I was thinking along the lines of a custom turbo exhaust manifold already made for Vs, then using a bigger aftermarket turbo, instead of using an OEM ex mani and turbo. More power can be made that way.
