I've seen a few 1JZ converted FC's running around the "other board" has a few of

them, I'm shelling my car right now gearing up for this conversion on a spare FC

shell I have lying around, but was curious how people wire their harnesses? Are

they using a 1JZ harness? a FC Harness? a spliced up fc/1jz harness? Not sure,

never done this before so I'm in the dark.....



My thoughts are.... They're using a stocker or modified ECU from a 1JZ and converting

the endlinks (Engine Out/In) on both sides of the harness to plug up to a 1JZ? I have

flushy headlights so keeping popups isn't necessary, but for the people who DO keep

them, I was trying to figure how they got them to operate? Since the popups are the

only thing I can think of that is in the engine bay (that I can think of off the top of my

head) you'd think you could use a full 1JZ harness for your bay, then convert your

cabin harness to accept your plugouts for your cluster and whatever else? Logicon

I'd guess? </ramblings>



Dunno guys, tell me what you think.

do you have this motor already? isn't that the one with the terrible head gaskets?

1jz are good



7mgte are the ones with bad headgaskets

No haven't picked up the engine yet, waiting to see what floats by.

There's been a lot of "dirty dealings" from what I've heard with

a lot of the shops in my area selling skunk engines. I figure that I

will get it all wired and trans in before I get the goods.

**** the popups, lol. I'd go with the nightsport kit or whatever that kit is the miatas have with the two little lights in bezels...



I looked into the 1gz swap a bit, you got any leads? There's one site I found who has kits for everything including the FD3S but not the FC...
