Engine Swap

Possibly a Mr20 engine from a Nissan Sentra, Ive heard people say but never heard of anyone swapping engines on a Nissan cube at least not in the US.
Maybe you'll be one of the first, let's face it Nissan cube is not a sports car like an Acura Integra or had the following like an Integra. I live in Los Angeles and I have never seen a seriously modded cube on the street, my cube is the most modded I think I've seen. Unfortunately, even on this forum, very few people seem active now. Not like what it was several years ago when the cube was still selling brand new in the US.

I know you can get a mr20 engine for about $500-$600 I believe those have about 145hp vs mr18 122 hp on the cube.

How hard would it be to fit a k20 into a z11 I have everything from the Honda Integra dc5 or Acura RSX,

You may have to run a dual ecu setup. You may not be able to get AC or speedo things working until you use some adapter to make it work with the CANbus. It’s definitely possible but a lot of work. An MR20de would swap right in. It should work on the stock ecu. It’s been done and well documented in a Nissan Versa which is basically the same car from a drivetrain perspective.

I was planning using the auto, so I can hopefully connect it to the existing shifter,and use everything out off the he dc5 dash for wiring etc
