Any engine can fit an any car mate, its just how much work you are willing to do.
Do you have a superturbo engine ??? if you dont I think youll have bother getting one.
I think its 108 bhp the ma09ert has. 0-60 7.7. but really rare.
were you not asking about the almera engines last week???

its not all about he engine, firstly I would get asmuch weight out of the car as you can, back seats spare wheel ect, all this helps both handling and speed.
With regards to handling again you can start getting good tyres strut braces and bushes, new shocks and springs, and see how they feel before you start thinking about a different engine.
It depends what your plans are for the 1400?

An MA09ERT is 81kw standard. As stated you can fit any engine in if you are willing to put in the work.
I dont want to try and disuade you from going for a MA09 conversion coz I love these engines. But realistically this would be a conversion that would require a lot of patience and work. Sure you stand to make good power runs but you can also get good power runs from a lightly boosted suzuki 1.3efi (Ie 9psi) or a charade gtti engine. Good luck with whatever you do.

You can do/get done some fairly easy mods to make gains on your engine.
Decent induction kit & decat free flow exhaust will make a difference.A ligtened & balanced flywheel will make more plus you get to fit a new clutch while you're there.
Injectors are often forgotten,they build up debris over the years & need servicing/or replacing with bigger.You can send yours off & get them serviced.
If you want to get more involved you can get the head modified,bigger valves,gas flowed etc..It never ends..
Best to spend your money on suspension & brakes first & you'll easily out-perform all the Clio/Punto/Corsa rivals anyway...

I would'nt say you need bigger injectors unless your boosting the engine
Its actually an SR16VE
As regards putting in an MA09ERT into a k11 I'd say it would be cool but everything must be addressed brakes ,suspension etc otherwise it would be like driving a cloud with 108hp lol
I wouldn't even think about putting a MA09 engine into a K11. Its pointless. Nissan don't make any engine parts for the MA09 any more. Spares (even headgaskets) are no longer made, Its much easier to get the power from a 1.6 almera engine. (stock March ST's don't even feel that fast)
Why didn't you say, you should try this then;
SR20VET
The 2.0 L (1998 cc) SR20VET was the first turbocharged engine from Nissan with variable timing and lift control. It produces 280BHP @ 6400 rpm and 309 nm @ 3200 rpm.
It is used in the following vehicles: Nissan X-Trail GT
Just a few bits and bobs needed. :wasntme:
Of course the Almera will be somewhat slow.. It's a whole different story if you was driving the Micra with a GA16.
I wouldn't bother breaking a March Super Turbo just to put the engine in a Micra. The Super Turbo should be left if it is in good condition or if it is able to be fixed. They have LSD on them, and weigh very little. No point destroying a good little car.
