The SR20 doesn't make any more HP or torque than the 2.4 liter you have in
it now can. A swap is expensive and for an even powered motor not worth the
trouble. I would stick with the 2.4 you have now and put a turbo on it. If
the motor is that bad then for about 4k you can have a dealer put a
remanufactured one in the car. This is what I plan to do with my 1995
Altima. I had thought about making it fast and putting a body kit on it but
decided its not worth it for a heavy front wheel drive car. If you want to
do this to a car Id hunt for a 240SX (RWD) or my personal choice 1988 Fiero
(lightweight RWD and mid engine)

97 nissan Altima engine
I have a 97 nissan altima that I don't want to sell. It has a lot of
personal value to me. But I'm approaching 180,000 miles on it and I still
have most of the original parts. As you can imagine it's starting to sound
a little rough. I want to do a overhaul on it. I have most of the body kit
picked out and the color, but i'm not real good with the mechanical part.
What type of engine should I get? I've been told to try and find or import
a SR20 but if there is another alternative, please someone let me know.
Anyother suggestions would be great.

You should be able to find a used low-mile "takeout" engine from a japanese
engine retailer for around $1500-$2000 plus labor. Most will come with some
kind of warranty attached.
