Instead of swapping a CA18DET into a micra, you should import a Nissan March Super Turbo (same as a micra and CHEAP)!!! I think they have 110HP, turbocharged and supercharged and 6.2L / 100KM!

The one we imported was only $4000-4500 IIRC fully imported. That Super Turbo engine was stuffed in there, it even has AC. I think the CA18DET conversion could very well be impossible given the space under the hood of that car.

You also said Maxima, you can get an AWD Bluebird SSS with CA or SR, I think they were the first Nissan to come out with the SR20DET. It's the same chassis as Maxima.

Same price as Micra, around $4500-5000 if you can find one, they're pretty uncommon nowadays. There are two generations of Bluebird SSS that came with the CA18DET, the U11 (our 85-88 Maxima) and the U12 (our 90+ Stanza).

Like I said, they aren't very common, there aren't any right now, but look for some that are listed between S59 and H2:
