That's right folks, you don't need to do it. Consider this pic of a stock 6th gen Celica wiring harness laid side by side with a Dr Tweak 3SGTE/6th Gen wiring harness (this harness is plug and play and uses the stock hole in the USDM 6th gen firewall):
 Only a few plugs need to be extended, around 10 or so wires. [/shameless plug] Just another reason to leave the headache behind and send your wiring harnesses to Dr Tweak  [/shameless plug] -Doc This post has been edited by Dr_Tweak: Feb 27, 2006 - 4:18 AM -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |

BTW, since it's now just a matter of extending 10 or so wires and swapping some plugs is the price for harness conversion going down or is your cost per hour going up?
Are you going to share with everyone which wires need extended or are you going to make them wait a few months until I post the how-to? --------------------  Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |

If you can do the wiring, you can easily figure out how to do it this way... He didn't say it was only a few plugs and wires that needs to be changed, he's saying that when he does a harness, this is how it turns out... Dr Tweak, good job on stepping up to the plate by making harnesses that fit in the stock location! I'm going through this right now - it's a little bit of a pain, but worth it to have a 'stock' looking engine bay when you are done. -Charlie -------------------- 2003 Subaru WRX Wagon

It'd be easier for other people that want to do it on their own instead of paying someone... I'll have a complete write up soon but I'm sure others working on the swap right now could use this info. He said he only extends 10 or so wires... The only thing left to do is swap the interior and fusebox plugs to the ST185 harness and it's ready to go. It may be more than a few plugs that need swapped, but the point I was trying to make was that since it's easier for him to do the conversion now will that be reflected in his prices or is he going to just be charging the same amount for less work? Nothing wrong with it, effeciency is a key part to running a business, but I was just curious. -------------------- Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |
