Nissan GA16 engine. he Nissan GA16 engine is similar to the A15, but distributor is in the back and RWD transmissions are avialable and Asia and Europe markets. 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.

Overview
GA15 from FN14
Sources
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.
Sentra B13
1991-1994 110 hp
USA Sentra B14 XE and GXE
1995-1999 GA16DE 1,597cc DOHC 7,200 rpm redline 115 hp (86 kW) @ 6000rpm 110 ft lb @ 4500 rpm
Look for the Bulge on left, which indicates NVCS variable-valve timing (115hp)
1991-1994 Nissan NX 1600 N14 1991-1994 Nissan Sentra B13 1994-1995 Nissan 100NX B13 (UK) 1991-1994 Nissan Presea R10 1995-1996 Nissan Presea R11 1995-1999 Nissan Sentra B14 1995-1999 Nissan 200SX B14 1995-1999 Nissan Almera N15 1995-1999 Nissan Pulsar N15 1993-1999 Nissan Primera P10/P11 10/1992-07/1995 Nissan Sunny Y10 1999-2001 Nissan Exalta Philippines
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. They have these in Japan, Malaysia and New Zealand too.
- 32010-G2N69 RS5W71C [remote shift 5-speed 71-series transmission]
- Europe
- 32010-0C061 RS5W71C
- 9106-9701 Japan
- through 2009 Malaysia
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
Variable Cam Timing
The compelling part of this swap is 116 HP from variable cam timing. You could even carburete this engine and still use the VCT with an RPM-activated 12V relay.
