btw.........even if I did buy my car when the Spec V was made, I go to school full time and work, so I don't want $350 a month or more to go towards my car payment every month.
I'll be an ass and chime in on this thread and answer the origional question.
Since you have a FWD sentra your only options for a DET are either one out of a bule bird or a GTi-R. Both the blue bird and the GTi-R were AWD cars, but the engines will bolt up easily to and FWD DE transmission. Other DET's (Such as those found in S14's or S15's) are designed for RWD cars and will not fit in our FWD chasis.
As mike said if you were planning the swap you should have bought a different car. A B15 SE (W/ SR20DE) would have been a better option. That way you would have already had the transmission, and some of the other parts will just bolt up to the DET.
Again you will find that the costs will add up. There is plenty of information on these forums about doing a swap. Check those threads out and then you will begin to understand what is involved in it. The easest swap to do is a DET into a car that already had a SR20DE in it orgionally.
Has anyone thought that this guys could be nuts, but most likely BS-ing. Who in the rigth mind would take out the 2.5 too put in a smaller engine in a spec-v none the less. Even replying too this thread makes me feel stupid, still not as stupid as the guy who bought a spec-v and wants to put a old base sentra motor in it. If that is even the case, most likely makin it up.
Oh man, Who is this guy?? What a waste of completely good machinery...what I would do is go find a beat up b13 sr20de and get an Fmax kit on it, since you have money coming out of your ass for buying the car in the first place im sure you have room for a project beater like NPM for a few grand...dont waste a good car cause i can already see it coming to shit. No one in the right mind would do that to a Spec V

what does smaller have to do with the engines? The DET is far superior to the QR25 as we know right now.............what other new Nissan 4banger can get 350whp on stock internals?
its superior by far but its just not in the cards, I wouldnt say in the end that it is a waste of time but its really not worth beating your head in at all the complications down the road. In the middle of the process, I predict he is going to wish either he didnt do it in the first place or rather did it to some other car. Its not worth the time and hassle.
maybe you should get a hold of the guys that took a 3rd gen rx7 and put a supra motor in it! becuase what you want to do is about as stupid! dont cut up the spec v!! but hey if you do ill give you 100 bucks for the motor and tranny from the v!just kidding!
