This debate may get heated. This he said/she said is getting old with this turbo deal. None of us have turbo'd the V, there has only been one turbo Versa and it was fully custom. All of this is only speculation UNTIL someone ACTUALLY does it. A few big issues I see with turbo'ing the Versa are: turbo manifold, injectors, and maf. I'll start with the turbo manifold.
JV, so it's a different bolt pattern on the flange... then what? You take it to a machine shop and they do what? cut the flange off and a make a new one, then tig it on?
1. How do you know the Juke manifold will position the turbo in the right place.
2. Are the exhaust ports the same size, in the same positions, or same shapes?
Something that may look the same, really aren't - (this is my opinion) I wouldn't believe something Nissan tech said. I have to see it to believe it until then its hear-say.
You would be better off having a fabrication shop make you a turbo manifold that will put the turbo in a ideal place for the MR18/Versa. It will out-perform any oem manifold in every way. It may cost around 1-1,500. It would be well worth it.
Now, the injectors & maf: what size are the injectors? I have never seen any info on these injectors or what they max out at, are they top feed or side feed? Same goes for the maf? what voltage will it max out when boosting.
