Nissan GA16 engine. Engine is similar to the A15, but distributor is in the back and only has fwd transmissions. This is a high output lightweight engine, some with variable camshaft technology. There are also GA13 and GA14 but it's not really worth all the work for these smaller versions. A GA18 is perenially discussed, but appears to be a global legend, always existing in some other country but never actually seen.

GA16 is fitted to FWD Nissans like Sunny/Sentra and Pulsar circa 1989-2000. Also to Tsubame Y10 (Mexico) through 2004 Tsuru B13 through 2007.

Transmission

Use any 4-speed or 5-speed you want. Use the traditional method of using an aluminum adapter plate that bolts to the engine and provides new holes for the transmission and starter.

The 63A 5-speed input shaft will have to be machined.


Or in Europe or Aisia, source a Serena (Nissan Van C23 1992-) RWD transmission.

This is a large 71-series transmission, so tunnel mods will be required. Possibly could be converted to floor shift using Z-car or Silvia rear housings. However, the shifter will be too far back. Instead, consider the stock Remote Shift version, with a floor shifter from another car adapted (remote shifter).

Swap Notes

Use a manual transmission GA engine flywheel, heat the ring gear and tap it off. Put it on backwards.

Remove EGR and block, since it points backwards.

Remove distributor and fit an inexpensive EDIS crank trigger system (about $200 USD).

Weld up new motor mount brackets -- typical engine swap stuff. This is not a bolt-in swap.

Fit a carburetor (custom manifold) or convert your 1200 to EFI:

EFI fuel pump
Surge tank
Fuel lines
Return line to fuel tank

Oil Pan?

New exhaust pipe and use 1.75 piping and muffler and tail pipe
