In the scheme of an engine swap, you're put off by this matter?

I really don't understand. Its like 15min of work if you do your research on what ECU pin you're dealing with.

Hmm, me thinks he needs motivation, possibly metatarsal to gluteus impact.

it will run without them btw...

If you wanted the knock sensor you would still have to run them for the SOHC B8

that's pretty much it, I'm lazy. I want as little effort (and time) as possible for this. as close to directly "plug and play" as I can. my car, my decision.

Oh wait, aren't those swaps harder?

Hmm so you do have a brain, just lazy,,,like a lot of us here.

honestly, the easiest way is to just buy a 94-95 mx-3, with the B6D. More power power, better curve with VICS, and better milage than the b8, with less fitment issues. The B8 is wider than the B6. I mean, if you're lazy, why would you bother touching the engine bay, removing an engine when you can get away with spending less money, no working, and a better engine? All-win situation for slackers!

ok, so a b8 swap isn't my best idea. I guess when the time comes, I'll either sell the car or re-ring the b6.

OMG... so lazy...

Why not just go to the wrecker and pull the engine bay wire harness from a pro LX or escort GT... then you don't have to run the wires for the knock....

AS I said earlier a BP will run without the knock sensor hooked up just fine... I NEVER ran the extra wires on mine.
