Re: Engine swap question: Ka-e to de

ecu yes. wiring harness yes. tranny no, your sohc tranny will work. id say get a complete motor not a long block. everything is diffeerent. power steering, ac. etc. youll need a/c lines. even the ones in the dash..so basically a whole new ac system. and ka24de power steering lines. if you notice the sohc resevoir is on the pass. the de is on the driver..or it might be vise versa. but yea i did this swap and to me it wasnt worth it. i would def. just buy a de there still as cheap as a sohc. either get a de or just turbo the e. also get a 91 the stock camshafts have higher duration, unless your gonna upgrade the cams.
