The engine bay of a Nissan Juke was originally designed to accommodate nothing bigger than a four-cylinder engine, so fitting a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6 into that space is no mean feat. In the fourth in the Juke-R video series we are shown the steps taken by the engineers at RML to accomplish such a task.
It is not just a case of fitting the engine though as all the cooling elements from the Nissan GT-R have to get in there as well to keep heat produced by the 480bhp power plant in check. Factor in ensuring that the Juke-R's body kit does not compromise airflow and you can see the monumental task at hand.
However, having released images of the finished product it sort of feels like we have watched the end of the film already. Then again that means we are one step closer to getting our hands on one of the two Juke-Rs produced. Isn't that right Nissan?
