    Can I bolt a 2007 2.5 into my 97? Im thinking all i would need to do is swap sensors and maybe throttle bodies.

    Search around online, I'm sure it can be done. However I'm thinking it's going to be a lot more complicated than that. Not to mention your dropping a more powerful motor into an aging chassis. I don't know what type of power your tranny etc. can hold. I'm assuming your talking about a turbo EJ25?

    I'm not trying to be mean but it seems you have a lot more research to do. Try looking on Nasioc and other forums, as well as trying the search function on here. BTW I wouldn't buy anything from that company!

    It's uncertainly possible.

    It's a possible uncertainty that this is uncertainly unpossible.

    Yes, I put an 06 into my 97. But I swapped out the entire car wiring harness for the 06 harness (not just engine/ecu-the ENTIRE power/car harnesses) and modified/made connectors to interface with the windows/locks/hvac etc... Its a long ways away from just changing a few sensors. Lots of cutting/splicing. Not for the faint of heart.

    Did... did you just divide by zero?
