Hey, whats up? I have a 96 200 SE-R, and I just bought a GTi-R motor for it. Has anyone on here done this swap before? Im just looking to see what kinda parts im gonna need to make this swap complete. I know im gonna need a new downpipe, since my stock one obviously wont fit. And I figured I'd send my ECU to jwt for a reflash. But other than that, what else is needed for this swap?
Heres a pic of the motor, then a pic of my car its going into:

never done the swap, but having done other swaps before, i know how to find it out. set aside a weekend for the swap, then yank the old motor, put the new one on a cherry picker, and suspend it in the engine bay. whatever comes off the motor to the car needs to be connected, as in radiator hoses(make sure they will work) and other things of that nature. make sure the power steering and a/c lines go into the right spots. if they dont you may need to contact a p/s line manufacturer and see if they have a shelf part # that matches the dimensions you require. do this for all stuff that doesnt fit. then make sure your wiring harness lines up and can plug into your ecu. check the axle lengths, and test fit them into the transmission/hubs. make sure the mounts will work, then after that you should be able to hook it all up. also you might want to talk with JWT when you order your reflash as they have done this swap probably more times than i can count.


lastly, ditch the dubs. sentras shouldnt have huge rims, same as civics.
