She runs now!! We tried adding another ground cable, and then WRAAAAOOOOMMM!! So, we bought some cable and some connectors and grounded the engine. Now she runs like a beast!
My friend also managed to move the knock sensor the the correct side without removing the IM.
We also checked the timing, and it's correct now.

Congratulations on the swap. Nice that she's running fine now.
How much did the the swap cost you? After I get new struts I'm looking into either a bodykit or possibly a KL-DE. It's all about the cost...

Engine, ECU and VAF 8000 SEK + 700 SEK shipping. Then I bought a new waterpump (600 SEK), timingbelt (150 SEK), engine oil (500 SEK), power steering fluid (250 SEK), front and rear oil seal (350 SEK), transmission oil (425 SEK).
Then I bought new belts for waterpump, P/S and generator (300 SEK). I also bought a U.O Racing Underdrive Crank Pulley ($200).

I'm gonna do a emission test next week. Since the EGR connector is broken, I run without EGR. Will that effect my emission result much? If my results are too high, will it help if I connect the EGR?
Now afterwards, it's much harder to replace the EGR. Next year I think I'll buy new headers, and I guess that will be a PITA to change when the engine is mounted in the engine bay.
