hey i have a quick question ive been lookin around online about this but i wanted sort of a more straight answer

if i have a 5speed 1990 240 and i want to do a ka24e to ka24de swap but the kade is automatic

how difficult will it be to convert the auto to a manual if i use my 5speed tranny

and what would i need to do in short terms?

 

it will be the same as any other auto to manual swap..

 

here you go bro.. read up... this is for an s14.. but the same applies really.

Its really not that hard... Really like old nick said. The same as all of the other ones that have been done. Good luck though!

 

ok i read that article and some of the posts below it but, it went over a lot of stuff i most likely dont need, my car originally used to be an automatic ka24e, and the owner did the auto to manual swap

now that im doing a swap i bought a ka-de engine that was automatic so im using the auto ECU, and my 5speed tranny off the ka-e, will there be any problems there or just follow the wiring guides?

 

It should be okay. I have a auto ecu in my car. It idols a little funny, but other than that itll be aight.

 

ahhahahah ^^ he watching American Idol.

 

lol i just caught that, well i hope it runs smooth otherwise ill just buy an ECU off a manual ka24de, the ECU only costed me 25 bucks about?

 

it will run with the auto ecu.. that is no issue. from what I gathered from Big Vinnie.. the Fuel/Ignition maps are sorta different though. But will not be a big difference.

 

i didnt want to flood another thread on this, its been awhile but finally got the thing in today but something that concerned me a lot was when we drained the oil it was practically pure fuel....i was wondering what all the diagnosis were for fuel in the crank case and oil pan
