Hi guys.
Just wondering. I find the U12 design quite nice but d only let down its the engine options of either a 1.8 (SR18Di or CA18?) or 2.0 (SR20DE) which has higher fc and road tax, s'more its more or less confirmed tat petrol will b up next yr).
Though tis sounds rather rediculous (i noe ppl would normally up-grade to higher cc or power engines), I was wondering if it is possible/wise to replace the 1.8 with a GA16DE from a halfcut Japan spec B14 (local B13 and B14 dun have d valve timing unit if not mistaken) since both have rather close outputs.
Below are the specifications for both SR18Di and GA16DE. (source: http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/nissan)

GA16DE
Displacement, cc: 1596
Engine model: GA16DE
Max.power (Net), kw(PS)/rpm: 120 ps (88.26 kw) / 6400 rpm

Power density: 8.83
Engine type: Water cooling serial 4 cylinder DOHC16 valve
Fuel system: NISSAN EGI (NISSAN ECCS)
Compression ratio: 9.9
Bore, mm: 76

B14 chassis curb vehicle weight, kg: 1060
Hope all d sifus here can help. Thx
