Well I just swap the ka24e into my 90' s13 and all it does is backfire. WTF is wrong lol and I found some plastic thingy in the oil pan too. Is that the timing guide?

Are the injectors clogged? Sparkplugs gone?

the plastic thingy would be the a part of the timing chain guide if it looks like an I because it is the only plastic thing inside of the motor. and the back fire could be caused by incorrect timming and or a vaccume leak possible egr malfunction.
