GTIR engine swap

I am researching a Pulsar GTIR SR20DET motor and AWD trans. The question I have is how big of a project is this going to be trying to put it in a 99 sentra GXE with a GA16DE? Also is it true that they had 230 hp? Where would a goo place to pick up above mentioned engine and trans.

max power output - 227hp @ 6400rpm for the gtir motor.....you have to use a different trans cuz the trans is AWD unless you are looking to do the AWD swap....which is goin to be a pain in the ass...and costly....but just for the motor swap you need to use an se-r harness. Same for the ecu, you really should get a jwt ecu(and swap all the sensors on the engine to usdm parts). you should use a usdm se-r distributor with the swap. The jdm a/c compressor can NOT be used...the lines are a different size and will not bolt up, so you need the usdm a/c compressor and bracket assembly to have a/c.

Bring this post back from death. I am in the middle of a GTiR swap into a 92 B13 SE-R, and I have done many swaps into Intagras, Talons, Civics, and motorcycles. This swap was CAKE, pull the old motor out, needed to rob a few this off of the DE that the GTiR didn't have bolts mounts and MICS shit, but other than that, P11 tranny Direct bolt on stock harness so far plug and play sept the injectors, direct bolt in to the chassis, relocate the battery, and take off a bunch of BS that you don't need, then front mount IC and IC piping that is going to be easy and for the power steering going to a hydrolics shop to get the PS presser line moded to work and so far a couplr of other MICS stuff but everything has been going great so far, and EASY!

Oh and it looks GREAT sitting in the motor bay little tight to the fire wall but it fit great like it was made for it. The only thing is, is that you can only get two bolts for the intermidiate shaft carryer bearing mount, So I think I am going to have to make a plat for that then it will be fine.

why'd you even bother? this isn't even the right section.

For the amount of work it's not worth it. It's more complicated than just swapping in a Bluebird/Avenir SR20DET
