![]() ![]() So there's a lot more to it than the emissions from your standpoint, the tunability would be nice. One BIG difference - Flyin'Ryan Performance (and others!) can sell you a tuner with a tune already on it also the JTEC (used for OBDII systems in the late 90's) is a known quantity to a lot of Mopar tuners, so you can get it dyno tuned et al. Both can be had fairly cheaply as PDFs on Ebay as I type this there may be even cheaper sources out there. )Ī lot of this can be had by pouring over the factory service manual(s) for both your 1992 as it is, and if you're converting to OBDII the 1996. (There's parts that are the same, but you'll need the donor for the radically different ECU connectors, the OBDII wiring inside, the cruise control wiring - oh, almost forgot, you'll also need the steering column due to the clockspring wiring being different for the cruise control to convert to OBDII! - the 96 will be with a electronic-drive speedometer whereas the 92 is a cable-drive speedometer, etc.) (And yes, that also means you get to swap the instrument cluster out. Easiest to find a V8 donor in the boneyard and grab all the wiring out of it, along with the JTEC ECU. If, however, you're wanting to convert to OBDII, then it's basically the entire wiring harness, engine bay AND cab. IF it's a V6 currently, it's just adding the two injector wires to keep a 92/93 ECU. ![]() TBH, you'll need the same things you'd need for a S10 4.3/350 conversion it's just that it's all factory parts on the Dakota, and 3rd party on the S10. With 4WD, add the transfer case and apparently the motor mounts to the list. I've probably missed some stuff and this all presumes 2WD and V6 currently. If you don't already have the larger radiator, the larger radiator.Ĩ.25 rear end, or if you're feeling busy, on a forum is where a guy grafted in a 9.25 out of a Gen2 with disc brakes in his 1996 same chassis as your 1992.Ĭonsider rewiring the car to use a 1996 V8 wiring set (engine bay and cab both), along with the 1994-1996 instrument cluster, so you pick up the OBDII connector, the JTEC controller, and the ability to get the ECU tuned easily. If it's the I4, you'll need just about everything firewall forward, though also, you'll need the transmission, drive shaft, and rear end. ![]() Strangely, that about covers it if your current motor is a V6. Since your current vehicle is a 1992, a set of 1992/1993 exhaust manifolds or shorty headers to fit the current exhaust, or a new exhaust system (hint: 1992/1993 exhaust was larger than 1994 and up - I'd stick with your current first if at all possible.) If you don't have the exhaust manifolds off a 1992/1993 V8, then a new exhaust system due to the smaller exist on the manifolds. New A/C hoses (the compressor is in the same position on the motor, but it shifts relative to the body). Your transmission (presuming V6) will bolt up, but may not last long.Īdd two injector wires to harness from ECU to engine harness connector (again, presuming V6). Matching ECU (they changed injector sizes in 1994, so match the ECU to the motor).įlywheel (if standard) or flex plate/torque converter.Ī Dakota oil pan and pickup tube if the motor didn't come out of a Dakota. ![]()
