Ok I'm done with my 240, but my wife's sentra is starting to crap out. Thinking of getting a GTiR SR20DET or bluebird SR20DET.

There is on thing though. I want to keep it Automatic. Here are my questions

Where can i get the motor set from?

I have a 1.6 sentra gxe (1998)

Will the auto trans fit? if so, how would I get an ecu for that setup?

Also I hear I will need various 2.0L parts to make the swap work since I have a 1.6. What parts are those?

Searching forums for an FWD AUTO SWAP is quite frustrating when the search tab comes up with nothing. Please help guys.

scroll down to the how to section.

The swap can be done, but it will be very time consuming because you have to source parts for a SE-R. At this point, I normally tell people to just find a SE-R.

I would check tigerjapanese.com out. They have the best prices going on FWD SR20 motors. Don't waste your time with the GTiR. Blue Bird or Avenir. If you plan on staying with an auto transmission, expect to have a custom torque converter made to support the additional power of a turbo motor. It may hold up to stock boost, but probably not for long.
