This 2009 Nissan Cube<\/a> came with a naturally aspirated 1.8 L MR18DE inline-four producing 128 hp (96 kW). The owner @snoozebutton4<\/a> wanted more power. So he swapped a turbocharged 1.6L MR16DDT inline-four and CVT automatic transmission from a first-generation Nissan Juke<\/a>. With a custom intercooler and Juke RS tune, the turbocharged motor is now producing 215 hp (158 kW). The owner also installed D2 coilovers and converted to five-lug hubs to hold a set of Nissan Sentra Spec-V wheels. Behind those are Murano (Z51) brakes in front and Rogue Sport (J11) brakes in rear. <\/p>\n
