hi im new and id like to share my newest project im putting a ka drom a 1995 240sx into my 1980 mustang i got the engine trans and ecu for 400 and i just spent 3 days about 3 hours each day in a pick and pull to get the engine harness anf FULL body harness out of a 1996 im gonna be dropping the engine and transn in tomorrow or maybe tonight so i can start making the engine mounts this week in school. ill post pics when i get a chance since there on my phone.

Hope you know there are some differences in '95 and '96 wiring. Good luck on everything, should make many mustang fans cringe more than Tokyo Drift.

o s*** no i didnt whats the differences lol and yea thats why im doing it to piss mustang people off

Should mostly just be engine harness differences, some sensors/etc are different due to '95 being OBD1 and '96 being OBD2. S14 experts should have more insight.

o :/ o well ill have to figure that out and rewire. i hope my ecu fits it ill have to check thanks for the info tho
*edit: ecu does fit

lol, I like this swap.

Don't waste that ka on that trash. You should have swapped a turd into it they would have got the message. ANY THING is better than a ford. lol Good luck bro, lets see some pictures.

I want to see some final pics of this sounds cool. but yes I hate mustangs as well so im sure the ford guys would hate it.

it can be done... ive got a 1996 obd2 ka in my 90 s13.
But ive got s13 wiring, dizzy, maf, fuel rail, exaust mani... if i were you id convert to obd1 just for simplicity, but who knows, may be benefits i dont know about being obd2

and one word, i want to see this swap done and a youtube vid of it in the quarter... LOL

im just waiting on a cherry picker so i can get a nice quality pic of the engine in the engine bay. and i reallyyyy want this car done now i wanna parade it at shows and just piss the hell out of people

This swap is like putting your d!ck into another dude

lol i kinda like this post i had a mustang talked to several others who hadem and decided i didnt like mustang owners this should getem real jacked.

Stock 240sx horsepower.

80s mustang styling.

Having to work to achieve the two. Priceless.

Why not just source a 5.0 for the same price. Those things are a dime a dozen dude.

But look at stock '80 Mustang engines, the KA is better.

2.3L 2V 4cyl 88hp(MT), 90hp(AT)
2.3L 2V 4cyl 132hp (Turbocharged)
3.3L 1V 6cyl 91hp(MT), 94hp(AT)
4.2L 2V V-8 119hp

If you're going to go to all that trouble to fab up custom mounts, etc.... why the hell would you waste your time putting in a stock KA in a MUSTANG.

You can easily source a V8 for that price.

Btw, those numbers ^ are pitiful. Haha.

my car came with the inline 6 and i have a 351 sitting next to the car i dont wanna use it cause its gay and wayyyy toooo played out and this ka isnt completely stock its got a fresh rebuild and a 5 angle valve job i gots it for 400 with the trans and ecu

wow, im going to watch this one. good luck op!

so here are the picsss and i got some questions about some sensorss




^these are all the extra plugs on a 1996 engine harness

^i have the plug for this sensor on the right but which one is it and i dont know which plug goes to this sensor on left

^this is the tps but i dont know which plug goes to it

^the whole new harness

the one on the left is the coolant temp switch... tells the ecu when coolant is hot

and the one on the right is the coolant temp SENSOR that tells that little needle on the dash cluster if your overheating or not...

id swap in the 240sx dash cluster

i was planning on it and would the one on the left cause the car to overheat? cause it always ran hot with a thermo but ran right without the thermo (i bought it off my buddy so i know the problems)

hey i got a 95 harness if u need it..n that ka on the mustang would be good for some short track racing, since they only allow 4cyl..its reliable, if i were u a put a cage in it n go to town..

how much do you want for that 95 harness?and im debating on a cage im not sure what im doing with the interior

shoot me an offer..pm me an offer.. an with it being a mustang, u can get one from summit for cheap..

im actually out of money so i can pm you when i have some. and my cherry picker was dropped off about 20 mins go so the ka is going in tomorrow morning!!!!!!!!!!!

also does anyone know if the 1996 tps had 2 plugs or 1 because the 1995 has 2 but the plugs i have on my 1996 harness are different and wont fit

240sx-fsm-full-service-manuals-s13-s14- ... 11075.html

In case you don't already have them. I think my SOHC has two different plugs near/on the throttle body. One is TPS

I think the 2nd plug is something for the Auto ECU.

ooo well ik the harness was an auto but the engine was an auto but got 5 speed swapped so i only have to worry about the tps then?

I like the idea, but this is the wrong section. Moving to hybrid (Nissan engines in non Nissan vehicles, or other engines in Nissans)

^thanks im new and didnt know
