It's just a dumb VR sensor. There's no reason the later one can't work.
If I were you I'd crimp on spade terminals to the pigtails so you can test both polarities of both sensors just in case it matters.

Re: Cheaper Crank Angle, Crank Position Sensor
Years ago, not knowing about this writeup, I bought the cheap sensor and pigtail for a '95+ and it worked fine. I don't recall there being a bunch of fuss regarding the color coding of wires because (this was years ago). IDK if the wiring seemed obvious at the time or if I just figured it was easy e...

Re: resonator size inlet
You've posted this question several times. What is the broader project that's going on here?
Yes, PVC is fine for air intake use though it might get a little soft if being fed 300deg turbo air.

Re: resonator advice
Are you talking about the tube between the MAF and the intake?
Yeah plenty of people have made those kind of things out of PVC pipe. I'll try and measure when I get home but the garage might be snowed in and you might have to wait a few days for snow to melt.

Re: How to remove cover over shifter
Remove shifter trim. You might have to pull the center console to get at it. Take a look at the mechanism. It's been years so I forget exactly but if you look how it actuates there's an obvious spot to thread a zip tie around to keep the lock from engaging. You don't actually have to take the shifte...

Re: Help with 1994 Subaru Legacy L AWD Suspension
If the ones in your car are in good shape you can re-use them but considering their age I wouldn't count on it. I've got like a 50% record of them being usable. Replacements are $20-25ea. You could buy them with the plan of returning them if not needed.

Re: Help with 1994 Subaru Legacy L AWD Suspension
What you need is a set of four struts for a 98-08 Forester and a pair of two rear strut mounts (aka top hats) for a 90-94 Legacy or 93-03 Impreza. You will swap the Legacy strut mounts onto the Forester struts in order to make them bolt into the car. This is easy to do with coil spring compressors w...

Re: Intermittent CEL and unusual radio illumination behavior
That sounds like a TEXTBOOK ground issue. The ground is not able to pass sufficient amperage without voltage drop across it. So if there's 0v on the chassis and 3v on the harness (25% voltage drop) then all those things trying to send amperage through that ground are effectively running at 9v hence ...

Re: Engine oil leak?
Power steering?
In my experience oil (of either type) tends to pile up on the top left of the block and not really have anywhere to drop to so even tiny leaks look a lot bigger.

Re: Cannot fix my 92 turbo codes
You can buy copper wire mesh loom for shielding stuff.
You can also do what Ford does and just run the wire in an aluminum foil sleeve.
In both cases the shield needs to be grounded.

Re: Cannot fix my 92 turbo codes
I wouldn't worry about the CEL and MAF code. All mine do that when they get moisture in the intake.
There's not much to go wrong in a knock sensor other than the physical wires in the harness and the sensor itself. Have you measured resistance?

New bearings should have noticeable resistance (especially with all the seals in there). They should be stiff but not crunchy stiff.
