          The intake bellows are different in size. Probably will have to look into a custom chip for it to get the most out of it, though.

              the i and e electronics are different and you wouldnt be able to use the afm or those injectors either with out having to convert to the i electronics.

                the injectors are definitely not gunna work eta injecters are low impedance on all except the 1984 eta.

                  Even if it did bolt-on right out of the box, Kind of not useful at any rate.
