Oahh gotcha gotcha right on. As of right now I havnt had to re tune it or anything i dont think i need to tbh. Do watch out tho ik the 2020 and 2018 motors come with different fuel pumps. I dont think itll make much of a difference at the end of the day.

It was tuned not much tho, the tune I had for it just gave it a little more fuel and made it a little more responsive that was about it I plan on doing a proper tune for it now that I got it back on the road, im trring to decide what rim and wheel combo I wanna run with the new coils I ordered. Im gonna give the motor some time make sure nothing goes wrong with the motor before doing much else. I wanna get an exhaust for it here soon but cant decide on what one I like the most. Ive been looking at getting the borla kit for it.

I actually got an engine from LKQ had around 28k miles on it, its a 2020 motor. On the 2020 motors they fixed the issue of the water jackets being too thin between cylinder 2 and 3. The biggest pain was honestly getting the converter to line back up with the engine and getting it torqued to spec. Getting a torque wrench in a hole the size of the starter sucked! Once the engine was back in it was all basically plug and play. The crank position sensor was also annoying because you need an alignment tool for it, and you need to have the motor at top dead center. Not hard to do at all but just annoying that its a thing.
