how hard is this? it looks to be the most frightening part of the swap, putting the stock t2 wiring harness into a 12a car. about how many hours did this take everyone who has done it?

i did get mine to work , bout if u can buy a stand alone go for it save the time and problems .

im going to swich over to stand alone since u cant run much boost in stock ecu

with out buying the piggyback safc etc etc .. and is much safer .

u gonna spend about the same money as the stand alone unless u can modd the harnes ur self

Exactly what 1979 said. By the time your FIND and buy an afm, boost sensor, ecu, harness etc etc, your money ahead going stand alone.



I actually on my third ecu, and electric omp, S-5 swap. So there alone is like $500 in used parts. Plus I bought a FCD and a S-AFC so I could play with boost and adjust fuel. KNowing what i do now. I would advise just going to staight to a ems. I will be installing my over the Christmas holiday.



To answer your question, I took two weekends to sort out the wiring and install it. BTW You only need about half of the wires for the car to start and run. Just the main **** and you will be fine.
