Based on what I've seen from some JDM retailers, they do mention having to keep both manifolds, and even transferring the crank sensors.
Coolant leaks are fixed.
Anyone find their MPG dropped a bit doing this swap? I'm not sure why, but I mentioned it to my mechanic when he was fixing the final coolant leak. He said that it could be a bad O2 sensor after getting knocked around in the process, but that usually throws a code.
Any ideas? Basically, it looks like I've dropped about 20% MPG. But that is only after driving about 1000 miles since the swap.
dont want to bad mouth your mechanic but he might be trying to charge you more money, it is a direct bolt on, besides the knock sensor and the maintenance stuff you just got to drop the motor in there
