    I would get a wideband if you have more than a $1500 worth of mods in an engine or plan on running lower than 13's.

    Everything will swap over fine. You can pull the springs and swap them over, you would loose the IC, but really its not that hard to sell it used

    And since you toasted the bottom half of the motor you could pull the top half (heads, LIM, s/c) and sell it as a top swap.

    Between the sale of the used IC and top swap, you can buy another IC for the Gen V

    Couple things I commonly see. Ensure there's not crud built up on top of the knock sensor in the coolant passage. Often enough if you pull a knock sensor, you won't have any coolant come out. That's because there's a layer on top of it. This may effect the sensitivity of the sensor.

    Shoot 2003 SSEi a pm. He's right in your area. So far he hasn't blown an engine, only transmissions. For the record...he killed my first one.
