Are you going to run stock once you swap it? You shouldn't need engine management untill you upgrade to larger injectors.

I thought that was weird why it has the ES body parts. Do you have progress pics of the swap? A little history on the car?

The car is a ES and my buddy did the VR4 awd swap in to the ES. There was alot of work that when in to doing the swap and there are pics of it to and I know you are thinking why not just get a VR4. Will for what I know the ES is a lot lighter then the VR4 and even with the swap its still lighter. The VR4 parts car ran 12's with out really pushing it.

Oh no doubt, the es would be missing many of the options that the vr4's came with. Is it much the same as a 2g fwd to awd swap?

Hey dude, I like the progress! You should paint the rest of the bay while the motor is out.

You should check out MN3s, they might be a little more help. There aren't very many 3s guys here.

Do you know which sensors are different? I'm a 3/s person but don't know the differences between 2/4 bolt
