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.

If it comes to Aus, I'd be very keen to upgrade at this rate

that would be tight, but im not sure if the Vs internals could take the extra beating.

It will be able to take it fine. Just tune on a dyno via wideband and keep it fat (rich). Engines these days are made very well and the compression on the MR was relatively low if I recall correctly.

Whats the CR on the 1.6/1.8?

 

[robj80]

Just looked it up. It's 9.9:1 for the MR18 and 9.8:1 for the HR16. A little higher then I thought it was for some reason. Oh well use 93 octane gas and keep the boost low .

 

[Lil Blue Versa]

i think it would be reasonable to assume the v's could handle around 7 psi fairly easily.. like rob said you'd probably have to use higher octane gas though
