Awesome...its getting brought to me today
the 626/capella/protege one on the site?
everything looks the same except the exhaust manifold and intake manifolds are different. also it looks to be running the 1.8 style coilpacks?
also says 130/135hp below.
its probably just a regular FS-DE with the same cams we have.
huh?
why would i have to swap the crank pulley, its got room. and that motor in the picture has standard spark plug wires and a single coil. coilpacks are what you see on the northstar V8, k20a2 rsx engine, etc
i gotta take a picture of this thing tomorrow and post it. the motor came with alt/compressor/everything, turned the block by hand everything sounds great. the guy specifically said this isnt the engine in the picture but hell send me the one i need for the same price. so far it appears to be the same engine i need to look at the stamp tomorrow. are these cams actually marked fs-ze? and i cant understand the logic of any of you telling me these parts need to be swapped. i say this with respect dont get mad. i know i posted asking if these 2 blocks are the same and we were speculating that subject, but i bought an entire engine. whatever cams & cam gears came in this thing and whatever crank pulley it has belongs on it.
-so the questions we have at hand here are the compatbilities with this "supposedly jdm fs-de" and my mp3 ecu.
-and how to distinguish the usdm fs-de from the jdm fs-de, and what the exact differences actually are in this engine.
where can i find a jdm ecu or are there any aftermarket options available? and why the manifold it looks like the only difference is it has a resonance chamber on it
This is why people are saying you'll probably need to replace the crank pulley. Some (all?) of the JDM engines crank pulleys look like this:Bingo!
You are the man! (Well not "the Man" on the boards...but you know what I mean
Crank pulley was different. Swapped out the pulley and the sensor (sensor looks the same though) and the car fired up right away, and runs like a top
So... if you decide to swap a JDM engine you need to change the intake, exhaust manifolds, thermostat outlet and housing, (at least the straight tube part of it. JDM is shorter) water outlet tap on the right side of the engine, crank pulley, top temp sensor on block near oil filter... All I can think of for now. If I remember anything else I'll post it.
BTW I got the engine from Engine Land Japanese Auto Parts. Really low KM 50 to 60 thou. Engines look mint no rust anywhere, block had clean factory paint still on it, frost plugs had no rust, oil pan had no rust, only the rocker cover and some of the aluminum stuff had oxidation on them.
I'll keep you posted on how it runs.
Cheers
The JDM FS-ZE's intake manifold can be swapped in to help improve top end
performance. The FS-ZE's intake manifold has some basic resonance tuning due to
the addition of the resonance chamber bolted on top of the runners (it is actually
connected to the plenum log chamber). Several modifications to the vacuum line
routing will have to be performed when installing the FS-ZE intake manifold to either
of the US spec engines. First, the early FS-ZE's intake manifold does not have a
fitting for the boost sensor (only the 2003s did). For semi-legal emissions
effectiveness and to avoid the "Check Engine" light to come on, you will need the
JDM EGR pipe (FSN7-20-310A). The JDM fuel rail also does not have the fuel
line pulsation damper built in, unlike the US fuel rail. The fuel line pulsation damper
on the FS-ZE is actually located slightly upstream in the fuel line (inlet side) as an
external unit. Because of this, you will have to use aftermarket fuel lines for the
short section between the firewall and the fuel rail in order to use the pulsation
damper (BP4X-20-180). Here are the complete part number list for the 2003 FS-ZE
intake manifold setup:
FS8T-13-130 lower intake manifold
FSN7-13-100H upper intake manifold
FS2V-13-19X resonance chamber
FS1E-13-150B fuel rail
FSN7-20-310A EGR pipe
FSN7-13-135 upper/lower intake manifold gasket
BP4X-20-180 fuel line pulsation damper
FP34-18-838E knock sensor harness bracket (requires 9979-40-814 bolt)
FSN7-13-665 throttle cable bracket
FSN7-18-740 fuel pressure regulator solenoid & bracket
B66S-18-740 VICS solenoid & bracket
FSN7-20-370C VICS vacuum hoses
