Thread: Trying the "impossible" but I need help

I thought the cross member and mounts were the same but i could be wrong. Not sure about the pedals though.

crossmember is the same, mounts are the same, everything should be fine just use the B13 harness and ecu. All the parts you need will come off the sentra. I would do a gasket kit while the engine is out and new clutch aswell. Start with all new fluids, spark plugs and filters. Nothing is impossible.. I swapped my first B14 from GA16DE to SR20DE with just about nothing for knowledge. I had not mentors, didnt ask anyone anythring really, and no help. I just dove in, did it, and I somehow got in running flawlessy. Since I figured it out, I've done it like 5 times already.

Yes you can use every 5speed parts from the b13, but you will need to use an electronic speed sensor if the b13 doesn't have one. Also if you have to pass emissions then I would not use the b13 harness and ecu.

Use the B14 OBDII harness, ECU, and swap the sensors over.

you know that you could just put the motor in there and leave it auto for now if you dont feel confident in doing the 5-speed swap

Am I better off buying a manual ECU for my car, then? Because I DO have to pass emissions, lol.

Also, gasket kit, eh? This'll be a first. Sounds fun. I mean.. I helped changed a clutch before (pain in the ass) so I have an idea of how to do it...

Also, can someone link to me to a write up of a engine swap or putting in an engine or something? I'm not even sure how I'm gonna take out my old one, lol.

If everything in the b13 is pust together, I would just drop the motor/tranny down the bottom as a whole. Disconnect all lines/connectors, unbolt axles from hub and pull them out of the hub leaving the other ends in the tranny, unbolt shifter linkage off tranny/rear mount, unbolt pass and trans mounts, unbolt crossmember from frame(leaving cmember connected to motor) and drop the whole thing to the ground. Same with the b14, then you can put everything in as a whole, saves alot of time.

Also, yes you will need a manual ecu for the 5 speed swap if you plan on passing inspection.
