Hello there Dai family. My girlfriend bought a Sirion M100 989cc made 4/2000. The plate of the car, in the engine bay say’s EJ-DE. But I spotted two sensors unplugged (no plugs insite to plug on them) and a coolant hose on the intake manifold.
The frst sensor is locaed at the back of the oil valve, at the left of the valve cover. I don’t have one on my EJ-DE. The second at the back right of the cyl head. (At this location I’m possitive that mine EJ-DE has a plastic plug). And I’m absolutly certain that my intake manifold does not have a coolant hose port on it. I checked.
I’ve been doing some searching, and all those parts are for the EJ-VE. The car is running great and all, but:
Is it possible to swap an EJ-DE with an EJ-VE to a car with an ECU for an EJ-DE just like that? Is that engine an EJ-DE or an EJ-VE?
I’m so confused.
Not many Australians can help with this one as we only got the ejde.

@Ad.Prime did you ever make any progress on this? I have the same issue on a vehicle I recently acquired and it is confusing the snot out of me! EJ-DE everything except what seems like the VE VVT sensor on the left rear of the head, and the other unknown connector on the right side exactly as you mentioned. Haven’t checked for the hose connector you spoke of, but I have a theory that whoever worked on my motor put a VE head on a DE block (if that is possible) and i would love to figure out what to do with the darn thing
No I didn’t. Unfortunately, this particular Sirion was sold out by my ex after a month we broke up… That was 2 years ago… So I don’t have a clue.
