SENSORS
[spoiler]According to red bwoy there are 6 sensors that can go bad:

1. cam
2. crank
3. vvt
4. temperature sensor
5. airflow sensor
6. knock sensor when dat gone make sure an buy de upgraded one wid de black wire

SUSPENSION
[spoiler]upgrades Tein springs and original shocks -> 1.5" drop
soon to get tokico hp blues shocks[/spoiler]


ECU
[spoiler]I can't say for the transmission, but get a good electrician to wire your car and make sure you get the ZL-VE ECU. The normal ZL-DE ECU won't activate the SVT and the car will feel like your old engine.

The ZL-VE automatic ECU is in a silver case and has a 4 plug input, the code for it iz ZL-O2. The manual ECU is in a black case and has a 3 plug input, the code for it is either ZL09 or ZL10

Most of the parts from your ZL-DE can work in the ZL-VE.. coilpacks, airflow sensor, cam sensor, alternator.. all is the same just double check the serial numbers to make sure.

[ζђίΰД™]

nareshseep, I was told that Brian Khan has it. 678-9182. Dunno who else will carry it. Did the engine come in the car? or was it a conversion? Do you have the manual vvt brain?

[red bwoy]

ζђίΰД™ you know where i could find and the price for the head gasket seal for this car?

it supposed to be de same as de zm-de or zl-de de only difference in the engines apart from the vvt is displacement and timing most of the parts ar de same i bought most of my parts by southern sales an dey mostly brought de zm-de an everythin works fine

[ζђίΰД™]

I know for sure that the Tappit pan Gasket is different. I didn't have to change mine, so I can't say if it's similar to the ZM or ZL. Just have your mechanic take it out and go Southern Sales with it.

[nareshseep]
