JDM to USDM Installation & Swap Guide

To ensure 100% compatibility and maintain your Murano’s electronics and emissions status, professional technicians recommend the following “External Swap” steps:

  1. Intake & Exhaust Manifolds: You must transfer your original USDM Intake Manifold and Exhaust Manifolds. JDM versions may have different vacuum port layouts and often lack specific emissions sensors (EGR) required for North American OBDII compliance.

  2. Wiring Harness: Always retain and use your original USDM Engine Wiring Harness. JDM harnesses are configured for right-hand drive (RHD) and will not interface with your Murano’s chassis or ECU location.

  3. Engine Sensors: Transfer your original USDM Camshaft, Crankshaft, and Knock Sensors. Nissan electronics are highly sensitive; using your original “known-good” sensors prevent intermittent signal issues or Check Engine Light codes.

  4. Oil Pan: Inspect the JDM oil pan. Depending on the donor chassis, you may need to transfer your original USDM Upper and Lower Oil Pans to ensure proper subframe and CVT transmission clearance.

  5. Accessories: Use your original alternator, A/C compressor, and power steering pump to ensure perfect belt alignment and electrical connectivity.

What is included

You receive exactly what is pictured. Engines are supplied as a long block assembly with the components visible in the photos. Accessories such as the alternator, starter, intake manifold or sensors are included only where you can see them on the unit, so check the photographs before ordering and ask us if anything is unclear.

Before you order

  • Confirm the engine code against your own vehicle, not just the model year.
  • Japanese market units can differ from the US version in intake, loom and sensors.
  • Replace the timing components, water pump and seals while the unit is out. It is cheap insurance on an engine this age.
  • Keep your original accessories until the swap is finished and running.
