im new to this forum and i would like to put a gti-r engine in my nissan nx. my question is.. is there two different gti-r engines (one fwd and one awd) or can i put a fwd tranny on the one and only gti-r engine? someone please help. Thanks!

The gtir engines only come with awd tranny, but the usdm fwd tranny will bolt to the engine perfectly (well 2 or three bolts won't line up).

You'll have to switch +/- on the injectors.
You'll have to switch +/- on the tps.

The top mount intercooler won't clear the hood (too high).

You can front mount it without a bodykit. Here is a picture of mine with a BB intercooler in place of where the AC condensor used to be:

I also managed to put a front mount intercooler on mine. Except mine is a starion intercooler (larger than the BB). I had to cut the lip between the two fog lights.
