hm... weird. i personally had my 4afe engine changed to 7afe without any issue at all. same apply to the rest of my fren who done the samething except thiers was manual and mine was auto.
the only thing i swap over was the engine itself only. ecu, wiring, gearbox all was 4afe stuff. The whole job only took me 3 days to complete so i can safely assume that there is no compatibility issue here. the only very small problem that i got is im using 4afe TB which now my throttle cable abit lose as the 7a tb position seems abit diff |
