I have been out of it for a bit now.

 

But I need to get me OBS up and running or the stupid code enforcers will tow it away ON MY PROPERTY IN MY BACKYARD!!!!

 

So.. my intake manifold and other parts are buried and I will not be able to get to it right away.

 

I have a line up on a phase 2 2.5 SOHC motor. Will that be a direct bolt in?

 

Thanks for the help .

it is plug and play if you use your stock intake manifold. You can check compatibility by comparing the valve covers. They should look the same between the two engines. (flat and smooth)

 

i have been running this swap in my 99 for over a year now. Runs fine on the stock computer however it is finicky towards mods.

 

Cam gears (on mine at least) were the same between both engines.

 

mine is a 99 phase 2 single port 2.2. used original wiring, intake manifold with all associated bits, maf sensor, ecu.

 

swapped in an 04 2.5rs longblock (used all sensors from new block, only 'change' was the requirement of dual port headers)

 

any 2.5rs engine from 00-04 should work no problem.

 

if your car was a 98 or older this would all be a different story.
