more than likely, they will replace it with the same engine that came in the car. a2. Simply speaking, that is what was busted, so that is what will go in. No sense in replacing with z, and then also changing the ecu etc...

they may try to source one from local boneyards. I doubt that a brand new o2 assy is sitting around waiting to be put in. But maybe I am wrong.
