Full engine swap

The good news is there should be decent availability of both short and long blocks. You have a gen 1 engine which is used in every trim level Juke 2011-2014 and the Nismo RS 2015+. Replace the oil feed line to the turbo or at least verify good oil flow through it. You already know about the belt tensioner. Check your other pulleys as the alternator or A/C compressor have been known to seize.

there’s a few engine removal threads on the forum that might have info on gaskets or seals you’ll need. It all comes down to if you plan to get just a short block and swap everything over or get a long block and swap just some accessories.

As swift said, grab the factory service manuals as they provide step by step directions and diagrams. Use any of the online Nissan parts stores to get part numbers and pretty good prices if you want to stick to OEM. good luck!
 
Is the engine in the juke only used in the juke? (Sorry forgot the model of the engine)
The second gen MR16DDT is used in the Sentra. As far as I know, the first gen MR16DDT is only used in the Juke (and maybe some European models). The short block is the same between the two generations. It’s just the accessories and some of the intake/exhaust manifold stuff that’s different between the generations on the long block.
