JDM engine wiring

[dawgedeclipse]

I recently picked up my JDM six bolt. Now, i dont want this to turn into a why are you using the cyclone intake debate. Ive read enough of those. Im using it because I want to be different and my car is a daily driver.

Ok, i will be using the cyclone intake and as many of the parts that are on the car. The problem im running into is, are the harnesses set up the same. I do have the jdm ecu that was also pulled from the car so it matches with the engine. Is it pretty much plug and play? Or will I have to do some reworking on the wires for the coil pack and smaller power pack.

This is really my only conern. I do have the main harness down the the ecu that came with the motor but some parts have been cut and I dont feel like splicing that many wires.

I have run into this same problem. Except I have 2g and the ECU and wireharness is 2g, but my motor and tranny is 1g JDM. I have found that EVERYTHING is plug n' play.

Good Luck.

Just use the motor, ignore everything else. Take all your wiring off your existing motor and drop it out. PUt the new motor in and plug all your wiring back in. Run your existing computer and all, don't bother with the JDM computer or wiring. The motor is pretty well the same and your computer will never even know anything has been changed (shhhh it might hear me typing...) and will run just like normal.

You will have to ziptie the secondary runners open on the cyclone manifold unless you get it to work. THey are pretty cool design honestly even when tied open all the time. I don't know why people dog them so much.

Well, just tying the runners opens defeats the purpose of the cyclone manifold, in which case just run a standard 1g.

They make custom chips now that open and close the cyclone runners and works off US parts. That way you have a working cyclone

Yes I understand. However if you do not have a 1G manifold or a chip this is what you do. If you have a chip that operates the cyclone mannifold then you obviously have the knowledge on how to make it work properly.

Zip tieing them open does make it like a 1g manifold more or less and seems to work pretty well that way acctually..
