Are the wiring harness's and Ecu's interchangeable???I read somewhere that if your drop in a 13B-RE from a Cosmo in it should work like replacing your engine.can anyone shed some light on this subject.I'm thinking of building a first gen with a 13B-RE next winter and wondering if the stock harness and ECU from a FD will get it running or not.Any help is appreciated.

the ecu-->harness connectors are the same between 89-95, but the solenoid rack is totally different between the fc, cosmo and fd.

we are doing a cosmo 13b into an fc and we want to run an fd ecu, but we havent decided witch harness is easier, the fd or fc?

It thats the case couldnt you plug in a PFC and just cut off all the solenoid connections that are not needed. The PFC ignors them if they are not hooked up, I cut all mine off that I wasnt using.
