The SR20DE swap is probably the most common. Great, rock-solid motor with a deep aftermarket.
If you want to be a pioneer, check out the QR25DE, which replaced the SR in the newer Sentra SE-Rs. Smaller and lighter than the SR, it has more displacement and more baseline power. Lots of torque. It comes with a RWD 5-speed in the new Nissan Frontiers. Less proven and with less (albeit growing aftermarket).
Or there is the KA24, which was actually available in a RWD car here in the U.S., so acquiring one may be the easiest.
