1.5 to 1.8L 98 2nd gen engine swap DOHC
I am a newbee to the terms, so if i screw up .........
If some one has a better list let me know.
Here is the list of what I think I have read:
1) The Trans is a F type and I can keep my AT.
2) No major upgrade is required to the exhaust, cooling or fuel systems
3) I will need a new intake manifold and fuel injection
4) I need a new wiring harness for the 1.8L engine or add wires: 3 for the MAF sensor and one for the VICS.
5) I can keep my 98 auto tran ECU
6) I need a new motor mount for the pass side (shorter?)
7) Change out the plugs on the throttle body and the block.
8) The exhaust manifold is the same but there is a difference to the length of the connection to the 1.5 stock exaust. New downpipe. (any year 90 to 98 lx protege)
9) Need to use the 1.8L MAF due to more air
10) I can expect some O2 sensor issues .. engine lights
Questions?
1) The 1.5 has a crank position sensor can it swap to the 1.8 and use the same distributor, 1.5L?
2) Are the O2 sensors close enough? Should they be swaped out?
Thanks... any adders welcome
