I have an 87 renix and am going to be doing a swap for a 97 HO. Ive read, and read, and read some more and just wanna make sure i have this straight (It will be staying renix).
1. I need to swap all the old sensors, distributor, flywheel, cps, alternator and injectors.
2. Since I will be using the block, and head from the HO, I will need to move the temp sensor to the thermostat housing (there is no hole on the head), and the knock sensor hole might need to be drilled and tapped (not a worry though if i decide to tuck it away).
3. If the exhisting fuel rail does not have the return system used with the renix system, then It will need to be modified so that it does (again, not a worry).
Now, the only place i get messed up is when it comes to the intake/exhast manifolds. I will have both manifolds for both engines. I dont know whether to use the HO manifolds, or the renix. I realize if i use the HO intake, the renix TPS needs to be adapted. However, if I decide to use the renix manifolds, will they line up right for mating with the 97 HO?
I know this issue has been beat up...think i just read so much I confused myself and wanted to make sure i got it straight.
Thanks
