Ok i have read most of the post about this but i was so confused after reading half of them i was wondering first of all what would be the best and most cost affective swap and what exactlly will i need from the other car 
yep, go with a a first gen one (less top end, more bottom end) because the wiring is 10 times easier. it'll be out of a b13 sentra (91-91). and you'll need the longblock, wiring harness, ECU, and throttle cable.ok now that i got that ? out of the way what cars and year models does the first genaration ga16de motor come in because i herd the second genaration dosent work so well and also i heard the wiring harnes would not matter beacuse i had a manual car i was told that even the automatic one would work for my car and i also understand that i need the throtel cable correct
well, best would be to post a picture of the engine bay, so we can tell you what's up. if it's a 1989, the GA16i was the only engine that came in the vehicles in canada and the states from 89-90.thx alot for the help and i understand u kept the origannal engine in urs could u explain ur decision behind that and i have also been talking to my dad becuase he is my mechanic and he said that the current engine is better for tweaking and ajusting than the other and acctally my mx6 is a 1990 gt also i think i might have made a mistake and i belive i dondt have the ga16i i think its one of the othjers because i dont have the airbox like all th eothers iv seen
your car is a b12. if you scroll down to the second half of the post, it shows what will work with an E-series B12.ok and also could i still do the GA16DE swap if i got all the stuff and if so will that require new mounts and everything and if i doing a full swap would the sr20 be better if i have the money
