Scott in Bellingham Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 All I need is help! lol I can help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 How is that Scott? I like help I do not have to pay for.LOL So I have been widdling down the harness for a few days. Just trying to identify things I do not want , like the AC stuff. Which incidentally is tied into the fans. So, I isolated the fans so that I could use the plugs later on. I will be running a stand alone system for those, on a switch. So, with the Fans , and AC out of the way, on to more! DOH~! So I have an ECM pinout that I am looking at from xcceleration.com , And the wiring diagram I found on some OTher board. Hopefully I do all this thinning right. It all seems so straight forward, but everything is tied into each other. Guess we'll see. lol cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstaru Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Well, Scott offered to help.But he is pretty far away.I just don't have time to make it up there.So I will slowly be attacking this part.

obk25xt Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Just an FYI (only if you don't ALREADY know), the 1995 has a unique pinout on the ECU and is NOT interchangeable w/ other OBD2 ECU's. I learned this in my swap project AFTER I had the harness prepped and installed. Not a HUGE deal, but it's good to know. There are some misleading pinout diagrams out there.... 1995 is unique..... Made for a PITA for me on some levels.... 1996-99 is all the same...... Be cautious where you get pinouts.... I'm not telling you how to do your build, just sharing my experience...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 I did not know that Spencer.Thanks for the heads up.I have pretty much just been eliminating what I don't need from the plug-ins back. I don't really need to negate anything except non-essential systems , so, I SHOULD be alright. But that is good to know. If I mess up I will just get another harness and not cut anything ! I'll just stuff it up under my dash lol cheers Do you still have a pinout for that year? I actually did some clean up last night in the shop.Got some toob thrown at her for the new dash bar. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstaru Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Been busy with work and family.I am doing little things when I get a few minutes here and there. Got the dash bar in, cleaned up some welds , and trying to figure out the next steps.. I really want to try an get another harness already trimmed down from someone.This wiring thing confuses the hell out of me , AND I am pretty sure I already messed up the harness I have because of the wrong pinouts. Thats where I am at. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its been more than 6 months. I would carb it if I didna already know that I want reliability.... And yeah, I could probably make some good money parting it out. lol Maybe I will.

monstaru Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) find you a 90-94 lego harness and ship the bitch to me, i'll get it down to the bare bones. i'm on my like 6th harness ,that being earls, and that was a rush job to get it done before the WCSS, fired up first try. I really want OBD2 but it looks like I may have to go OBD1...Damnit..... lol I'll start looking. lol I forgot Earl was running a Frankenmotor.Obd1 it is. cheers Edited November 3, 2013 by monstaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellow65 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 The obd 1 stuff is as solid as it comes. And literally they will run anything you hook them up to. I ran a phase 2 ej25 on a stock ecu, I know people have ran a phase 1 ej25, earl was running his franken motor with something like 12:1 cr. even red devil was running something like mid 20s psi of boost with nothing more then a piggy back. They also have a good code flashing system and if you wanted even more there is that select monitor thing which was subarus attempt at a obd2 style connection pre obd2. I know you can even data logging with the select monitor thing. About the only thing that would be nice is if you were doing something like a wrx ecu, just because the super aftermarket avalible in ecu tuning ports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 SO, are you saying I could run a non turbo engine with a turbo ECM? I have thought about that before. Obviously you would have to tune it to get rid of the turbo stuff , I just didna know that was possible. well, I found an early harness in the garage, It is an attempt at whiddling down from years back. HOw can I figure out if it is done right? lol I guess I mean, I would hate to send it down there, then have it be wrong. Is there anyway to tell if I have the right stuff,plugs? Can I just take detailed pics ? cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I would carb it if I didna already know that I want reliability.... The ea81 is about the most reliable engine ever. lol But the idea of fuel injection is the shiz. Ask Ken about how tough it is to follow me up long steep inclines at slow speeds cuz his carb always gets to choking on itself. The pic attached is him doing the 3 feet thing with brake gas and clutch all at the same time to keep it running. Lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
