Re: Engine Swap
Even being OBD2 you could still mega squirt or some other FMS. OBD2 is a very good system in that the system itself is far more adaptive than OBD1 so to a certain degree you don't need to chip stuff for it to work. Remember, you have nothing to fear but, umm oh, lets see. Oh ya, never put the cart before the fruit??? I think that's it. Just do it.

d-mcgeachy, if you installed the engine with the 96 exhaust manifolds you'll notice there's an extra O2 sensor in each exhaust. Just ignore the bottom ones.

Re: Engine Swap
If you did search, you would've realized the KL is just an oversized K8. Thus meaning, every plug has a place. That's why we said to swap over the sensors off the K8. If you would do that, then you wouldn't have any extra plugs, now would you?
So yeah...If you searched, you didn't spend anymore than like 5 minutes doing it...

Re: Engine Swap
I spend countless weeks/months seaching before we did my ZE swap. I wanted to make sure everything was known and accounted for when doing the work. Ended up over researching (despite ZE swaps weren't that common back then).
There will always be connectors left open from the factory, depends on what kind of car and options you have.
If you're worried, label them as you disconnect them. Use masking tape on each connector, use letters, numbers, than mark them on a sheet (A-neutral switch, B-knock sensor, C-distributor, D-02 Sensor Left, etc...)

Re: Engine Swap
Ya i have 4 left over clips that dont have a place to go so i guess those will be extras and dont need to be used?
Re: Engine Swap
Hit the nail on the head, I'm just doing my swap and I wish I spent more time figuring it out for myself and less time depending on people to answer my questions that are already answered and easy to find. If your any bit automotively inclined, its not difficult. Never heard of an easier swapNd4SpdSe wrote:I spend countless weeks/months seaching before we did my ZE swap.

Re: Engine Swap
Are those clips on the car or on the engine? Take pictures of the plugs/clips and post them and we'll tell you what they are and where they go.d-mcgeachy wrote:Ya i have 4 left over clips that dont have a place to go so i guess those will be extras and dont need to be used?
OK pic 1.
Pic 2.
OK I did the work and loaded the pics, who wants to take a crack at identifying the plugs and please if your not sure don't guess.
