So in between waiting for parts to come in, i decided to see what wiring would be necessary to make the swap work 100%. So far (to my extreme pleasure) it looks like 99% will be plug and play. It looks like the only parts i need to wire in are the intercooler pump and fuel resistor/relay, can anyone confirm I didnt miss
any obscure wiring? I plan to unloom and unpin the relay box/pump wires that go to connector EA1 from the clip and simply pin them in the the EA1 on my original harness, sound like a good idea? Also i plan to wire in the cruise control, seems like all i need to do is run a wire from the CC ecu to the IDL pin on the ecu, everything else should be plug and play, has anyone done this? |

If you truly want to do it 100% correct, you'll want to un-loom the harness and move the wires individually to match the routing of the harness for your LHD car. You will have to extend a number of wires, but you can borrow wires from your original harness. Make sure that you use shielded wires when necessary (you'll only have to worry about the cam/crank position signals all the others are long enough).
It will take you a bunch more time to do it this way, but it will look and act 100% stock if you do it that way. If you get a clip, you'll be able to figure this stuff out by just looking at the clip. Take lots of pictures of it in the clip before disassembly! Oh, watch out for the one light-green/black wire that goes to the fan relay. That's probably the only hard-to run wire you'll have to add (you already know about the water pump and fuel pump relay stuff). I'm not sure if its necessary, but I wired it up on my swap just in case. ![]() -Charlie PS. Make sure you use real solder and heat shrink tubing. Quick connectors or crimp connectors can fail and make ugly fat spots in the wire harness. -------------------- 2003 Subaru WRX Wagon
