Hello folks ,

My son needs a new engine for his 2006 Altima . I was wondering will a 2007 or 2008 engine fit the car? Its a 2.5 engine. Any help , thanks

It would be a lot cleaner if you could stay in the same 'generation' ie 02-06...you don't want to get into issues with having to use a newer ECU that doesn't play nice with the rest of the car's CANBUS connected gear, or an old harness that doesn't connect up to the various sensors and controls on the new engine. Otherwise you need to worry about mounts, exhaust geometry, differing sensors etc. Have you considered the JDM options? There have been several successful transplants documented on this forum.
