my story:
my stock 95 5sfe is dead. time to swap. got ahold of a new 5sfe. old 5sfe had the internal distributor cap ignition. new 5sfe has the external distributor cap ignition. my question: what is, (if any) ecu/wiring harness differences between the two? is the engine all i need to swap out? or is there a revamped ecu? what changes to any of the harness' will i need to make, or will it be direct plug? what else do i need to know? -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!!

There IS a difference in the o2 sensors. old 5s = 1 wire new 5s = 2 wire will this all match up? -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!! D-man FTW!

well if it depends which wiring you are using, here is another difference.
QUOTE (presure2 @ Mar 21, 2010 - 9:36 AM) the 96+ have the crank sensor intergrated into the oil pump housing, and the trigger wheel for it is intergrated into the crankshaft t-belt pully. you will need to swap those over, along with the distributor, ect. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

congrads man! wish i could help out on this one! but i do remember being told that all the blocks are basically the same (5s,3s) and that you can interchange sensors... (the one near the pump specifically) ive even seen a guy using a 3s head on a 5s block and make 600+ hp

is there a wrightup on wiring in the new acc? i'd really like to ditch the cali-emmision BS; as i live in texas where emissions dont matter. (yeah, the whooping 5hp difference
) honestly i like the idea of the external better. i've been searching, but supprisingly, there are very few 5s(ca) to 5s(norm) swaps being done. I may just be a one of a kind (bragging rights  )
