However you will ned to fladh in the corrdct ecu calibration\tune for your car

If your just changing engine and not swapping between auto to manual just uee same ecu and calibration

If you do get new ecu you would need to code it into security, it easy and flash it with coreect ecu calibration.
So if I understand correctly, you only need to flash a new calibration if you are swapping in an ecu from a different car or using the same ecu and changing the transmission type? I'll be using the same transmission and ecu on the new engine so it sounds like it should work as is.

Are the differences in sensors between model years significant enough that this is necessary, or is it more of a precaution? The new engine has most of the sensors installed so I wasn't originally planning on swapping them all over.

By the way, I don't know how the thanks feature works on this board but I really do appreciate all the help from you guys.
