what all did you get with the swap?

axles? ecu? how many miles are on it?

You might want to change out the clutch while you have the motor out. I added a fidanza 7lb flywheel as well.

You should be able to, You can with the vx. What color is the wire?oh yea one more thing you most likely have a three wire IACV. You will need to convert that to a two wire. Check that and see if its 2 or 3.
