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?

oh.

my.

GAWD.

i must find this guy.

or figure out how the heckaroni he did it.

and how much it costs.

this will be mine.

DROOL.

I love how everyone keeps saying there are no parts. There's quite a bit.

If and first you dont succeed, You failed.

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.

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)

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.

muchas gracias

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.

Sorry Sweetheart. Ive been there. luckily i was able to afford a switch. You could probably piece together a custom turbo kit with some research. Otherwise you may just have to be patient.

This is why everyone think there are no parts, they are looking specific for the model car they have. A lot of stuff has to be found in other ways, which would probably fit other cars besides what we have.

Also, sorry stace I forgot you had that damned automatic when I posted about the guy with the turbo n whatnot. I keep forgetting!

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.

Myself, and few friends are working out how to import Our sister renualt stateside. Manly to see what can be swapped, and if any performance differance other then Turbo or Diesel, can be used on the Sentra 2.0L.

Good luck with the search.

I know all about the Renault Megane.
When some one said Euro immediately starting thinking about the UK Nissan Sentra and thinking to myself "they dont have a Petrol turbo." I didnt think about Renault in France (as i never find myself doing).

No way in hell would Ghosen ok the use of the Turbo RS Engine here in the states. It wouldnt move enough units to make up for the cost of emission certification and USDM R&D. It is a nice idea though. Although id rather see a Renault Sport Megane or R26R - Versa conversion . It was one of Richard Hammonds favorites.
