How difficult is it to put a QR25DE 2.5 into a 2001 Sentra that currently has only a 1.8 liter?

Changed my mind. I don't want to do that anymore. But, what can I do to give the car a little more life. Basically I want to sell it, but it feels a bit sluggish compared to other 1.8s that I've driven. How can I cheaply make it a little more peppy so that it will sell quicker and I can upgrade?

Right now I'm thinking seafoam, tune up, better air filter. sTuff like that

Any engine you swap into it will have to have a lot of wiring work, and for the last 2 on the list, custom mounting and transmission adapters made.

Your options pretty much are:

QR25
SR20
VG30
VQ35

These have all been done successfully.

It's the easiest swap of all of the options.
