Know This Engine Before You Buy
The research behind our purchase interview — recalls, bulletins and real install economics for this engine family:
A quick look at your own vehicle makes sure the right engine shows up:
- Confirm the 4th digit of the VIN is 'A'.
- Verify the vehicle is a 2015, 2016, or 2017 model year (non-RS).
- Confirm the vehicle has an Automatic (CVT) transmission.
- Verify the vehicle is not a Nismo RS trim.
- Determine if the vehicle is FWD or AWD to prepare for potential oil pan transfer.
What the install really takes — plan and budget with confidence:
Special tools this job needs:
- Angle torque wrench or protractor (Nissan SST: KV10112100)
- Fuel injector seal installer/remover tool
- Nissan Consult-III Plus scan tool (or equivalent professional scan tool)
- Engine hoist and stand
Budget for these consumables at install:
- Timing Chain Kit (chain, tensioner, guides)
- Intake manifold gasket
- Exhaust manifold gasket
- Turbocharger gasket kit (including oil/coolant line copper crush washers)
- Valve cover gasket
- Front and rear crankshaft seals
- Torque-to-Yield (TTY) head bolts (if head is removed)
- Engine Oil (4.5 liters of synthetic 5W-30) and filter
- Nissan Blue Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant
- NGK DILKAR7C9H Spark Plugs
- Turbocharger Oil Feed Line (Nissan Part # 14411-1KC1A)
What your vehicle’s computers will need after the swap:
What’s involved: Immobilizer re-initialization (NATS), Throttle Valve Closed Position Learn, Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learn, Idle Air Volume Learn, Injector Calibration Codes
The vehicle's immobilizer system (NATS) must be re-initialized to recognize the new engine components using a Nissan-specific scan tool. Relearn procedures for the throttle body, accelerator pedal, and idle air volume are required to prevent surging or limp-home mode. Injector calibration codes must be programmed if transferring injectors.
Pro tips for a smooth first start-up — hand them to whoever does the install:
- Must transfer existing turbocharger and exhaust manifold; the turbo oil feed line must be replaced to prevent immediate turbo failure.
- Cylinder head bolts are single-use torque-to-yield and require a multi-step torque-plus-angle sequence if removed.
- AWD models require transferring the original upper/lower oil pans and intermediate shaft brackets to accommodate the transfer case (PTU).
- Direct injection fuel injector seals must be replaced with new Teflon seals using the proper installation tool to prevent high-pressure leaks.
- The engine will not start or run correctly until the immobilizer (NATS) is reset using a dealer-level scan tool.
Easy to get right once you know them:
- Attempting to cross-swap V1 (2011-2014) and V2 (2015-2017) engines.
- Reusing the old turbocharger oil feed line, leading to oil starvation and turbo failure.
- Using cheap, non-OEM spec spark plugs instead of NGK DILKAR7C9H, causing misfires and potential engine damage.
- Installing the engine without proactively replacing the timing chain, guides, and tensioner.
- Not using premium (91+ octane) fuel.
Not issues with the units on this page — the manufacturer documented these for every engine of this family, wherever you buy one. Handy for your installer:
🔎 Recommended at install: Replace timing chain, guides, and tensioner proactively before installation.
🔎 Recommended at install: Mandatory replacement of the oil inlet tube whenever servicing or replacing the turbo/engine.
🔎 Recommended at install: Perform intake valve cleaning to remove carbon deposits.
🔎 Recommended at install: Keep PCV system clear; monitor for oil leaks from dipstick tube in extreme cold.
🔎 Recommended at install: Replace HPFP if experiencing long crank times or misfires.

Shipping & Handling
- Ships by LTL freight on a pallet — a real freight truck, not a parcel van
- Your checkout freight quote covers delivery to your door (liftgate service included for residential addresses)
- The carrier calls ahead to schedule a delivery window — someone must be present to receive it
- Typically palletized and picked up within 2–3 business days; transit time depends on distance

This part includes a 120-day warranty.
- If the part fails within the warranty window, we'll replace it or refund per the coverage terms
- Coverage is parts-only — installation labor is not included

Your pre-purchase interview reviews these exact terms with you before anything is charged.
Returns (30 Days)
We accept returns of uninstalled parts within 30 days of delivery for this part.
- Defective parts: We will replace the part or issue a refund at our discretion

- Return shipping: This part ships by freight (LTL) — the part price is refundable per the terms above, but shipping costs are non-refundable and return freight follows the seller's return terms. Your pre-purchase interview walks through the exact numbers before you buy
- Parts must be returned in original packaging and unmodified condition
- Poorly packaged returns that arrive damaged will not be credited
Damaged in Shipping?
Freight damage is rare — and you're fully protected when you do two things at delivery:
- Inspect before you sign — you're allowed time to look the pallet over while the driver waits
- Write any damage on the delivery receipt before signing — that one line is what makes a freight claim succeed
- Severe damage? Refuse the delivery — it goes back at no cost to you and we make it right
- Photograph the pallet before unwrapping; report concealed damage within 24 hours of delivery
We handle the carrier claim — you just help document it. Your pre-purchase interview walks through this checklist too.
Order Cancellation
Cancel before shipment for a full refund. Once the pallet has been built, a preparation charge may apply — and once the freight carrier picks it up, shipping costs are non-refundable and standard return terms apply. Your pre-purchase interview shows the exact numbers before you pay.
