Swap Wiring Info Options

[lagos]

in an effort to help clear up the mystery about wring for the swap, i decided to start this thread. i plan to post any info that i find during my reaserch and would like to see the rest of you do the same. this way we can all share information and make swaping less of a hassle for future generations.

to start off, here are some ECU pin outs from my 91 BGB. i dont have any 6th gen pinouts yet but ill scan them in when i get my hands on a 6th gen BGB.

correct me if im wrong, but ECT means automatic and no ECT means manual?

lets get back on topic....

wiring update. today the 3sgte came out of the clip and the full Engine Bay Harness was removed.

the wiring in the car consists of 3 harnesses.

engine bayharness - all the wiring on connected to the engine. leads out thorugh the fire wall and plugs into the ecu. there are 3 ecu plugs and 2or3 plugs that plug into the interrior harness.

interrior harness- all the wiring on the inside of the car. you just have to worry about 2or3 plugs. they control stuff like speedo, check engine, fuel pump(i think), etc.

body harness- the harness that runs along the body of the car and connects to things like headlights, fogs, ect.

then you have the main engine fuse box.you can use your stock one or the 3sgte one, but you MAY need to rewire it because some of plugs that connect to it are from the body harness and may not plug right in.


hope this gives everyone a basic idea of how all of this works.
