I'm wondering if you can do a stand alone wiring harness with ECM link v3?
 
What do you mean by a "stand alone wiring harness"?

The ECM link V3 was designed to integrate into the existing wiring of the car. You can basically control every single variable that is taken into the ECU via the standard wiring harness. It is a rather powerful controller.
 
What I mean by stand alone I only want what the car needs to run. I don't need anything else.
 
Step one buy ecm link get your ecu chiped by them (and socket if yours doesn't have it) step 2 wait for it to be sent to you ..Step 3 plug in your ecu step 4 down load the software on you comp ...Your done begin tuning ..Easy as 1,2,3,4
 
You can't really strip the harness down to perhaps the same level as with some other standalone ECUs but there are people running ECMLink on a minimal type harness.

As long as you still have a working MPI relay (using the factory or some other relay) for powering and shutting off the ECU the rest can be stripped pretty much down to the bare bones.

Study how the factory harness works before you start ripping it apart and you'll have a better chance of things working at the end.

Very good advice.

To elaborate on this, do a search for wire tucks to see what people are doing to clean up their harnesses. Many of them are running ECMLink and just got rid of the things they don't use. There's plenty of threads here outlining the proper way to do it.

Im not looking to wire tuck my car. I'm looking for a bare bones harness to keep down on wiring problems and weight the car is track only car.
 
ahh i dont think there is acompany that makes a ligyt weight harness as of yet but if you get some diagrams you might be able to make one yourself!

Yeah. I was more or less just seeing what people have done in that area looks like I'm doing it the hard way thou.
