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?
