putting engine of 93 Sidekick JS (2 wheel drive stick shift) in 97 Sidekick 4Wd
« on: July 07, 2007, 10:33:12 PM »
I am trying to put the engine of 93 Sidekick JS 2 wheel drive stick shift in 97 Sidekick 4Wd  automatic.

I would like to keep the transmissions the way they are , that is change just the engine.

so I am wondering if it would work?

would there be a problem because of engine size? the body? the fact that one has manual one has automatic transmission? or because one is  JX 4 wheel drive and the other is JS 2 wheel drive?


I would like your point of views Fellows...

Thank you  all!

It should bolt up but theyre 2 different engines.  The 93 is an 8 valve and the 97 is a 16 valve which means youll be losing power..youll have to swap the ecm and the wiring harness

It is quite possible his 93 has a 16 valve motor. So they'd be of the same size, if so.

However, the issue he's going to run into is the fact that a 97 is OBDII (the emissions/computer system), so yes, he'll have to change out the wire harness. Or, I guess that if he takes the intake off the 97, and puts it on the 93, that everything might work.

I believe that if you swap an early 16V into a late 16V you will also need to swap in the Crankshaft Position Sensor which would need the later sump and possibly oil pump?

Just to help have an idea of the Engines, they are both 16 Valves
