Hey whats up guys . so im sure there is threads on this and info but there is a lot of difffrent info on which i should go with before i begin my swap into my 89 coupe. it currently has a single cam!

basically im picking up a 97 ka complete motorset with ecu and harness.

-My ?s are can i just drop the whole motor and do plug and play without having to change anything to the motor? like intake mani and dizzy.?????

-also for the cluster i know i have to get a dualcam cluster.
would it read properly me using the 97 harness and Ecu or is it gonna read it wrong? any wiring i can do to make it work.???

i would really appreciate any output on this. and i know theres a lot of info but dont know if its correct info or not .

thanks! Eric

it will be bolt on, just get the Dual cam cluster, and Bring me both of your engine harnesses. I will give you one that works. also make sure you get DOHC power steering lines.

or you can just get a 91-94 ka24de engine harness and it will plug in. also swap over to s13 ka24de intake manifold so you can get rid of all the odb2 garbage on it.
i suggest going OEM as possible. no need to hack up the 97 ka engine harness to make it work with your car. saves a headache for the next person that works on that car.

that would require.

Intake manifold swap
Exhaust manifold swap
Distributor Swa
AIV equipment to be brought over.
S13 Ignition coil and brackets

its easier to just wire up the 97 harness.
