Sentra SE-R engine in a maxima?

Anyone thought of the possibilities. The Spec-v puts out 180 hp 180tq, thats not too far away from our stock maxima's and considering the larger abundance of aftermarket parts for Sentra's being brought out now, can anyone dream. Just wanted to know what anyone else thought of the idea.

Sorry, but that's the worst idea I've heard of. Why replace a V6 with an I4? the advantage of the V6 is much smoother acceleration, and much higher possibilities. why not "upgrade" to a 3cyl geo engine? The VQ is one of the best engines made and the QR25 is extremely flawed.

My lord Linkage, a little harsh

But It doesn't make sense. Why would you want a less powerful engine in a heavier car.

well those numbers are not WHP. Those are crank numbers. So the VQ30 still puts more power than that. However mods are about the same right now. We can get upgraded ecu, they dont have that at this time.
We have a very nice option for SC. I don't think anyone makes a S/C for the yet.
As far as the other mods. The 4th gen Max has the same amount, but ours don't say NISMO. I think the VQ will still put more HP than the Spec-V engine

Acutally the Samsung SM5 (i think) comes with a 1.8 and a 2.0 Liter engine.
