The problem will be that once that JDM sensor stops working you'll have to source another JDM sensor to replace it with; since you're harness will only accept that sensor.


Okay yeah i already cut the male sensor and re wired it.

Now the one next to it, it clipped right in. That one is fine right? and i got the adaptor for the heater just tonight. Do you know if i use that ac pump or whatever it is? it has a pulley on it and two ac lines go into it. Because the de lines dont work for it. I thought the pulleys were lightweight and different sizes than the de so idk what to do right now as far as the ac goes

I'm honestly a little confused as to what sensors we're each referring to but I'm sure you'll be fine.
But one more time so i have peace of mind....lol

The little skinny one with a spade connector that is all brass, that one you can leave alone.
The bigger one that actually has a plug on it; we change it because the jdm sensor has a different connector on it and won't connect to our wiring harness.
Now if you want to just rewire it so that you use the jdm sensor that's up to you. Like I said though, it'll be difficult to source another jdm sensor.

For the A/C you'll have to swap the compressors if you want to keep your A/C

Maybe jgy swapped it for you...? Lol. Idk. The one I had was a dark blue and wouldn't even come close to plugging in to the wiring harness.

And no. You'll have to swap the complete a/c compressor.

The one on my DE is dark blue but im not sure what color the VE one is but yeah it works. And okay ill probably swap out the compressor later i just want to finish lol. So the sensors are taken car of. I have the adaptor. Should there be left over sensors on the harness that dont plug into the VE? Because i have some just hanging out

Yea having some plugs left over is fine.
I mean there is a lot more crap on a usdm engine to begin with.

Starting to get those jitters and that want to half ass finish everything to just turn it on all ready?
