i think engine covers were different. that was about it. i dont see why now, as long as you got the ecu and keys and stuff. :?

unless you have the red kawa key, you cant get anymore cut, i remember talking to a guy from honda about the price of replacing the key if you lose it, it aint cheap, you have to buy a whole new ignition barrel etc and he said it costs about 2200 dollars, which aint cool

sorry for the bad news

Why do you need the key for the new engine? can't you use your existing ignition? fits tanks & seat too. Would a zx10 engine fit? :twisted:
