Yeah Deev i need to get around to a swap. And yes my car is pig rich after the few mods ive done and get really crappy mpg. But knowing the motor may be on its way out i dont think id sell it to someone however id give it away and let them know it may need a rebuild.

Not necessarily... You're putting on stock parts, so it won't do much. A large, free-flowing intake and exhaust setup will usually cause you to run richer... at least from my experience. It won't be terrible... 2mpg less or so, much of which could be the result of a heavier foot (freer revving engine, a little more power, racier sound, and the fact that the powerband gets moved up a bit in the RPM range contribute to the loss in economy as well)

Aright I can deal with that, I was thinking like 16 MPG or something haha. OK, so I'm going to the junkyard tomorrow I think. BTW, ecu swap is just unplug the old and plug the new back in? Obviously with the battery disconnected.
