I'm installing a avenir in my 98 sentra gxe. It has the ga16de and I'm switching is out. My question is if I use all the stock jdm(avenir) sensors I can also use the avenir ecu...right?

Is using all the us sr20 sensors better to do?

Need a little help :confused:

JDM ECU=OBD1 Blue Connector
US ECU=OBD2 White Connector

Car = OBD2

For a plug and play operation - no

If you want to re-wire a alot of stuff, you probally could, but why ?

I'm just looking for the EASIEST way to do this.

so should I use all US SR20 sensors and a jwt ecu?

Can I use the ac compressor from my ga16de?

Compressor yes, bracket no. You'll need a us bracket.

Also, I've had trouble at least in 1.6 200sx's with some of the internal wiring matching up... meaning if you get a SE-R harness and plug it into the ECU there are a few other plugs, not all of them will mate up...

Got all the other parts?
Tranny
Axles
Mounts
and on and on?

I was gonna get the mounts from a us sr20 and the tranny (lsd) :D and axles from the same year tranny,97 se-r. what about the ecu and harness which should I use????....Do I have to give it to jwt?

Ya best bet is ***** be goto www.car-parts.com and get ya a $70-80 ECU from a SE-R (95+) send it to JWT and get the DET program on it.
Prepare to wait for that :rolleyes:

Give Jason at www.jgycustoms.com a hollar (I'm from KY hehe) and get a 95+ se-r harness that should take away most of the headache...
Best of luck from there.

thanks, Any harness from 95..on will do? how about stuff like cruise control and all this other stuff on my gxe?

Will a ecu from a 97 200sx se-r do?

you should use the jdm ac bracket. 2.0 and 1.6 compressors are different. jdm 2.0 uses same bolt up as us 1.6. i dont believe there is another option.

Huh? No the JDM bracket won't work, I confirmed this on my own DET. And the 2.0 and 1.6 compressors are the same....

As for the ECU, yep any year ecu from 95-97 will work.

So I should use the jdm,or it doesn't work?:confused:

The guy on my other thread (turbo) says that I can use the avenir ecu and harness on my 98 sentra gxe:confused:

I've done a few swaps before but not a nissan.

Which route should and CAN I go swap out the ecu and harness or according to "CowboyDren" I can use the avenir ecu and wiring harness.:confused:

Why couldn't he use the Avenir ECU and harness? OBDI or II it doesn't matter what his car was right? Just the motor/ECU/harness combo determines OBDI or II I would think. And isn't the Avenir a newer vehicle? Aren't they all OBDII anyways?

I was told it was obdI and it would not work for plug and play.

I'll see when I get the engine. :D
