Interchangeability of KA - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have a 95 240sx with a blown KA. I have a chance to pick up a 97 KA for a pretty good price along with the ECU but no harness. My understanding, from what I read here and other forum pages is that I will have no issues using the the 95 ECU and Harness on the 97KA as long as I swap out the intake manifold because of the whole OBDI to OBDII change 96-98 S14s underwent.

I just want some confirmation from somebody who knows from experience about this swap. On a different forum a member brought up the CAS[Crank Angle Sensor] but Im not sure why yet. I don't know how that would make it problem to swap in the 97KA since that sensor connects directly to the transmission from the bellhousing and detects misfires. Not entirely sure though of its importance in reference to the swap...

If anyone knows of a place in SoCal where I can find a 95KA from a reputable shop please let me know. I'd prefer to buy one from a 95 . However, if someone knows for sure that I can make the 97KA work without issues[no CEL etc..] go ahead and chime in. I'm a day away from buying the engine and just want to make extra sure I'm not getting into a big mess with this.

Recap:

97KA in 95 with stock ECU and Harness from 95

Thanks in advance. I know this has been asked before, I just want to make sure Im doing the right thing.
