Plug and play. Just figure out what ECU setup you want to use, get a high-flow fuel pump, and go for it.

I have done the sentra GTiR swap and it took a while, but it was just due to programing. I ended up running a full stand alone FMU. It runs great though at 298WHP with the stock turbo and more fuel

Your trans will work fine. I want to say that you have to use the GTi-R flywheel, but do some searching to confirm that.

Yes, there is also some wiring to be done. Pretty sure it's just the injectors. Again, a search will turn up the answer. I know it's been outlined a few times.

Use your stock transmission and any aftermarket upgraded clutch for the 200sx se-r. The GTiR swap is too much of a headache. It is easier to swap in a U12/U13 or W10/W11 and it is almost a direct swap utilizing your wiring harness. I recommend the w10(avenir) which can be purchased from tigerjapanese.com for $900. It has the silver valve cover and doesn't come with an intercooler. If you need more power, than find you a GTiR T28/manifold for sale and bolt it on. I made 280whp/280ft-lbs on my bluebird motor and GTiR T28 setup. I have now gone to the disco potato. You will need some type of engine management and I recommend a calum ecu.

im brand new here but i am in the middle of a 200sx se-r gti-r swap my self and what i have come up with is that you need the resistors wired inline for the injectors, i myself am running a b13 jwt ecu, the stock fwd trans will work just fine, but the bolts that bolt the flywheel to the gti-r motor are different then the usdm sr20de bolts so......if anyone can help me out with that id appreciate that.

im not to good with this forum yet so plz call with any help (920)251-4588

You can't use a b13 ecu as it is OBD I and the 200sx is OBD II. I answered you problem in the other thread. Use your flywheel bolts, your transmission and an upgraded clutch for the 200sx. Nothing from the GTiR transmission will you need, its useless.

the motor came with everything except the tranny cuz its awd. It also came with the clutch and flywheel and i was wondering if i could use gtir clutch/flywheel with ser tranny? I havent got ser 2.0 tranny yet and today i got 1991 sentra motor mounts and they wont fit the gtir motor and the mounts that are currently on my stock 1996 ga16 motor wont work either. I dont know which mounts will work?? I was also wonderin if the ecu that came with gtir will work and if I will need 2.0 axles or if i can use the same ones? i would really appreciate any help i need to get this swap done asap

You need 95-98 SE-R motor mounts.

Search about the flywheel and clutch. I know it's been discussed and I want to say there's some sort of minor mix and match involved with the GTi-R, but a search will confirm that.
