b14 engine swap will it work?

[petey_97]

hey guys, I have a 97 sentra the timing chains are loose, and I recently discovered its burning coolant.. A friend of mine has a 95 200sx. The cars are very similar, same front ends, same interior, both are 5 speeds, we both have the GA16 in both cars. His engine is alot healthier than mine and he is getting a VW. The question is will it work if i put the engine from the 95 200 in the 97 sentra? Both cars are b14 chassis and they are only 2 years apart, but I also would like to know if the computer from the 97 sentra will run the engine or would I have to swap out the computer from the 95. Any help would be awesome!

It should work...
Same engine, same chassis, both are OBDII.
If you can't see anything physically different between the two engines, then the wiring harness and ECU should be the same.

The 95 is OBDI, not OBDII. They sell conversion harnesses so you could probably find it somewhere on a forum.
