You could probably run nitrous on that and get quite a bit more. I don't know anything about engine swaps though. Oh and his was a cvt and he converted to 6 speed. Beats me why he payed the extra money to do that though.. I want to do an AWD conversion but I don't have the money ;(

sentrastace wrote:help please.

is it possible to do an engine/motor swap on an 07 sentra 2.0S CVT?

if so, what would you swap it with?

UGH.

ive paid off SOOOO much on my car and i really dont want to trade it for a faster car because i'll just put myself in higher payments, higher insurance, and lose a lot of money because ive done a lot to it/spent a lot of monies on it.

but bottom line is, i want a faster car. (i didnt buy the sentra because it was fast or i wanted to mod it, i bought it because it was the only nissan i could afford, i wanted an alti coupe instead) but i have modded my sentra with every available performance part out there (there arent any!!! just intake and exhaust, performance wise) and now i feel stuck. my car looks good and i may enter it into shows for the visual part but im sick of being under par performance wise.

am i s*** out of luck?

Sometimes though, I do wish for more "Ooomph" in the performance.

That guy that did the Turbo install surely did beef everything up to handle all that boost.

I would love to do the same, but I havent yet become proficient in Manual. So it's automatic for now.

Also, thanks for the info in your posts DjTorello. Learned more about the aftermarket available for out B16's.

I just wish Nissan would release the factory turbo'd 2.0 engine thats in Europe for our cars.

nametakennow wrote:Honestly with the 2.0 and the CVT you can't do much. If you swap, your options are pretty much limited to an SE-R swap.

Definitely going to be more of a hassle than it's worth and very expensive.

I'd keep saving and see if you can afford a "toy" or to get that Alti coupe you want sometime soonish.

you just listed parts for the SE-R...I don't have the SE-R, i have the 2.0 S and i have installed basically everything available PERFORMANCE wise for the 2.0S which is what i am asking about here....red foot well lights arent going to make my car faster (although i have already installed blue ones)

Doesnt matter, 90% are custom. No one lists cams, or sleeves, or heads, etc for the 2.5L. If your looking for on the shelf performance, you will always be limiting yourself. Think outside the prius.

ive seen nothing of a EDM 2 liter turbo. If there were such an animal it would be a 2 liter turbo diesel which still wouldnt make it that much faster.

Nissan and Renault share engines to cut down on costs. My MR20 engine is a Frenchy! While the 2.5 is still Nissan.

In sharing engines, they share platforms and the like. In another thread, it was revealed that the B16 Sentra is almost the same as the Renault Megane. Except they get more engine choices, namely the turbo and the diesels.

There's more info on wiki. Best to look up Renault Megane.

I sure would like to get my hands on one of those turbo'd ones.

Good luck with the search.
