anyone put a awd auto into a fwd auto car?What i need to know is can you plug the awd ecu into the fwd loom and does it work,are there any wires missing?I have engine/auto loom from a series1 ej fwd car but i wish to run the awd box.

you are going to need the wiring for the awd solenoids unless i am mistaken, and you need to make sure the trans and diff are the same gear ratio

Are you looking to convert the car from FWD to AWD?

 

I think the wiring is there, however you could use an ohm meter and wiring diagram to verify connectivity between the ecu connectors & transmission plug.

the deal is i've got wiring loom from a fwd auto lib which i want to put into my 88 L and fit a awd auto box as part of a ej22 conversion.Yes i could just get awd loom but that just adds more expense,i hoping the fwd loom and awd loom are the same or similar maybe a few wires missing pinouts different.Any ideas where i can get the auto wiring diagrams from?

I have some wiring diagrams from my swap write-up. Whether the wiring is the same for overseas models....I don't know.

Take a look and see if you can use anything, and if things match up.

Thanks

Thats awesome, thanks for going to all that trouble. The info on the auto trans will be very helpful for me too, i hope ytou dont mind others making use of it.

You're welcome to it. That's why I did the AWD & 5MT swap write-up.

Pinouts and plugs the same just a few wires missing[fwd indicator lamp A2,manual indicator lamp A6 ,atf temp warning C11,speed sensor 2 A15,solnoid awd C3]could a few more when i pull harness apart.
