turbo kit

[ME18VERSA]

i was just looking around and came upon the spec for the snew juke....just thinking here is the 1.6 litter turbo in that the same as whats in the versa just not boosted?????? if so than the people with the 1.6 have a way to get a turbo setup even tho itll be pricey from the dealer ship

[Promise Land]

not the same. Versa has the HR16 and Juke has the MR16 (baby brother to the MR18, MR20).

[Andrews Chalmers]

The MR16DDT is a direct injection variation with a turbo. It is part of the MR family, and similar enough that we can expect that the next generation Versa will have direct injection.

[kvg]

The turbo manifold will bolt up to the mr18

[ME18VERSA]

if thats the case then the mr18 could possibly have a premade turbo kit

source?

a friend at nissan dealer said looking at the juke that was in the dealership he was almost sure, but he mentioned that all the pipeing will still have to made.

The Juke manifold will not bolt up to the MR18DE. The exhaust ports on the Juke are more oval vs the round ports on the MR18DE, also the flange is different, the Juke uses two studs per exhaust port (8 studs) vs the MR18 which only has 5 manifold studs......Which sucks because the Juke exhaust manifold is very cheap.

well hey it was worth a shot would have been awsome if it was possible

[Athikerguy4life]

any chance of an engine swap between the mr16ddt and the mr18? or would there be too much modification/custom work involved?

[veronicatheV]

I wouldn't think that much modification because it is an "MR" engine and they are all pretty similar.

But then again the mr16ddt is practically brand new so idk.

[Athikerguy4life]

alright, now I just need to find a juke and wreck it..

[Andrews Chalmers]

You could just buy a Juke?

[Athikerguy4life]

You could just buy a Juke?

much to simple. Plus, I think finding an engine would be cheaper

[veronicatheV]

No finding an engine would NOT be cheaper. I have done 2 engine swaps out of 3 cars I have owned. Yes one was handed to me but the 2JZ was a different story. 5,000 just for an engine with 60,000 miles on it, not counting the transmission, and finding a drive shaft and rear end that match and Actually WORK.

The truck it went into only cost 1,500

A Supra you can get for 10,000 if your lucky.

The lesson I learned was, I shoulda just got the dam Supra.

Oh plus the Juke 16ddt is brand new so the only place your gonna be able to get that is from the dealer so your going to have to pay dealer up charges. Sooooo you might be lucky to get out with your head.

[Athikerguy4life]

alright.. so how's that turbo kit coming along then? I would love to turbo the mr18.

[veronicatheV]

there is a turbo kit out for the mr20 right? Do you think maybe... possibly with just a few little tweaks maybe... possibly it can be adapted over to the mr18?

This might be a cheaper... more doable... I just had an idea!!!!!!!!!!

Im going to the sentra pages real quick to find someone with a turbo mr20 in the Atlanta area. Il get a look at it, get my mechanical engineering buddies from Southern Polytech to take a stab at it.

[Promise Land]

there is one for the QR25 based Sentra Spec-V. I don't know of any available kit for the MR20, but it could exist.

[Athikerguy4life]

every kit I'e found so far is for the 25 and not the 20. I'm gonna keep looking though. How about a superturbo like the Nissan Micra? If they can fit a superturbo in that engine bay, we MUST be able to fit SOMETHING in the Versa'a bay, with some tweaking.
