Your best bet to answer your questions is download the FSM from NICOclub (search this forum with give you the link) for 91'-94' sentra and 95'-98' 200sx and compare sensors. Basically, keep your old engine if you have it, drop the new one in, get it running (it will run even if you don't plug in some of the emissions crap), then start figuring out your CEL codes and getting the other crap plugged in/removed.

Honestly, you have nothing to worry about. These engines are very easy to swap over and sensors are some of the least of your worries. Getting the engine bolted up and running is harder then clipping on a few plugs.


but no i dont have the distributor and maf.. i have an older maf.. and the distributor isnt hard to get a hold of. but basically i have the whole motor taken apart and i am going to send it to a machine shop and clean it.
here's what i wanna do with it lemme kno if you have any suggestions.
its a 91 high port de MASSIVELY CLEAN, i want to get 8 1/2 compression pistons and rings, drill and tap the block with a t28 and gtir manifold, i want to get s3 or s4 cams, termo block spacers, port and polished throttle body, arp head bolts, reinforce the block, prothane mnts, eliminate power steering and ac, whalboro fuel pump, gtir fuel injectors, aluminium pulleys(unorthodoxed or gspec), lsd tranny prefferably from a newer car, lightweight flywheel, 6 puck clutch, and some other things...
as well as obviously all the other neccessary components to make it run right.

i got the motor for really cheap, so please nobody tell me to just go buy another motor please.

thanks

you dont need a port/polished throttle body, dont need arp head bolts, dont need to reinforce the block(idk what you are talking about) and thermoblock spacers are a waster in my opinion.

There might be a few other things but I cant think of them.


Yeah true. I know what i'll need for a ga to sr swap. I've read the write-ups plenty of times. This is gonna be fun hehehe. Selection of harness has me puzzled though. Im fine with the drum brakes so far, I can do those later on in the near future.
