Installation & Peripheral Swap Notice:
-
Sensor & Harness Swaps: Depending on your vehicle’s exact market, trim, and emission specs, your installer may need to transfer your original engine’s sensors, intake manifold, wiring harness, or oil pan to match your factory ECU.
Disclaimer: This compatibility table is provided for reference purposes only. It is the buyer/installer’s responsibility to confirm that the engine code listed in the specifications above matches their existing vehicle setup prior to installation.
