Ok I have looked and looked and cant find anything on how to wire in a knock sensor to a non turbo engine wiring harness. I have a 93 eclipse gs and am swapping to the 4g63t. I know I need a turbo ecu. does it also just plug in where my old ecu would be or do I have to do some rewiring to make it fit ?
 
The below is from: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-turbo-system-intercooler/48231-installing-turbo-4g63-into-nt-4g63.html#post425068. I'd suggest you read the rest of it if you have any questions related to turbocharging a non-turbo 4G63 1G DSM.

ecu and wiring harness:
here is the 1g turbo ecu color coded pinouts, this is invaluable when working with the engine wiring harness: http://www.dsmtalk.com/gallery/data/500/drawing2_model_1_.jpg

you will need the turbo ecu. Simple as that.

You can either obtain a stock 1g turbo engine wiring harness or modify your factory non/turbo harness by adding the following wires:

7th wire from mas - the 7th wire from the mas needs to be run back to ecu pin #6. This wire is for the stock boost gauge (which is worthless anyways) so you can skip this step and use the stock n/t mas, especially if you are keeping the n/t gauge cluster (as it doesn't even have the boost gauge. Either way, make sure you buy a real boost gauge.

knock sensor - one wire can be grounded to the engine bay somehow, the other white wire needs to be run back to ecu pin #9.

wastegate solenoid - one wire here will be grounded, the other returns to the ecu pin #105. Or you can switch to a manual boost controller (mbc), in which case this solenoid will be unnecessary.

injector resistor pack - here is a tech article written by timg on how to wire the fuel injector resistor pack into a non-turbo harness: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-electrical-wiring/174314-injector-resistor-pack-wiring-1g-n-t-turbo-conversion.html

here are the factory ecu prints. The highlighted ones need added, and the model is in the upper corner so you don't get confused.

Oh, my mistake.

Try this instead: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-turbo-system-intercooler/48231-installing-turbo-4g63-into-nt-4g63.html#post425068. I'd suggest you read the rest of it if you have any questions related to swapping a turbo 4G63 into a DSM with a non-turbo harness.
