I just got a 93 GS auto. Swaping to mtx and DE but i got a few small questions about the motor swap.

When swaping in a 93-97 klde do i ue the de intake manifold or do i use the 1.8l intake manifold?

Same question for the exhaust manifolds.

I also hear that the water pipe on the de is missing a hole for the coolent temp sensor as well.

other then the ecu and the motor is there anything else i need for the de swap?

I did read the FAQ but found it to be a little crowded. Just trying to get a feel for any little odds and ends im gonna need that i will otherwise miss.

You can use the DE intake manifold, but use your k8 exhaust manis unless getting headers

Best thing to do is swap over the coolant pipe from the k8 to DE

edit- you will also need a KL02 VAF from a probe/mx6

VAF yes i forgot that.

Does the coolent pipe swap require removing the timing components?

Shouldn't. Should only be a couple little 10mm or 12mm ( forgot ) bolts and a gasket.

Is it acutally a gasket or is it an o-ring? Anyone got a part number for me so i can pick it up before hand?

Other then that gasket, intake manifold gaskets and exhaust manifold gaskets, will i need any other gaskets?
