I finally have the 92 240sx dohc KA in my S14. The head and intake manifold were fully ported, the head has a 3-angle valve job, and the bottom end is an OEM rebuild(9.5:1 comp. etc..). As ive read this engine is an OBD1, and mine is an OBD2. So what i did (with the advice of people here and everywhere else) is I swapped the intake mani over so the smog stuff would all match up. Plus this new engine( i blew my last one) has ALL the EGR and everything else permenantly blocked off with this wax stuff, so all the smog stuff is gone. When we swapped over the intake mani, the car wouldnt run right, we played with timing, we put bigger injectors in, and still the same problem, NO power all the way up, it goes, but not even as fast as it was stock. New plugs. So i was thinking about puttin the hedder on that came with it and try and make the intake manifold that is ported work on it, like it was intended. Should, or could i, swap a 92 ECU into the car, or put a standalone system in, what should i do, everyhting so far will not work!! All the mechanics there think that the stock intake mani doesnt match the porting in the head, so thats why it isnt working, its also VERY VERY LOUD, like an exhaust leak on crack!!!

Somebody please help me, here is what i bought in this link

thanks, bryan

I also posted this in the N/A KA forum, and i have tried everything to find out what the problem is, there are no codes, no check engine light, timing is around 20

Ive asked some other questions about this before, and everyone said "just swap the S14 intake mani onto the s13 dohc"

So noone has any ideas what i should do??? I guess ill just hook up the 92 external coil distributor, the 92 intake mani, an MSD ignition, and a standalone ECU. That should take care of ALL problems....I hope...NISTECH, anyone??? So noone has any ideas what i should do???
