RS with 6bolt swap wiring headache!

[6BoltSleeper]

Ok my main problem is I cant find the ignition timing adjustment connector in my car. My harness is some custom made POS, made from 95 RS, and 90 TSI. My ecu, engine, trans are all 90 models. I've been told that I can't put in a 1g turbo harness, and I can't get a 2g ecu and harness, so now I'm just confused and wondering whether I should sell my shell and get a 1g awd or try to keep this RS Frankenstein machine. What do you guys think? Thanks for looking.

I have a 2G harness already wired in for a 6 bolt.

but will that work for me seeing as I have a 90 engine and ecu?

If your car came from the factory with the 420a engine than you're in for some wiring issues. You can make it work but the easiest method (least amount of hours and dollars that is) would be to sell the shell and buy a 1g awd if you planned on converting your 2g into an awd as well. Having a 90 GSX myself, I'd recommend you get a 91-94 gsx and ditch the 90 sensors all together! They're a pain to find, usually cost more and perform worse. I'm trying to keep all 90 in mine but regret it every time I have to buy a part.

Easiest then would be a 1gb with 4bolt rear end already, drop your 6 bolt in and ditch the 90 sensors imho.

ok thats what I figured. If I can find a 1g awd shell, what sensors would I need to replace, and would I need another ecu. If I can find all that, you're more than welcome to all my 90 stuff. Thanks man

I found a 1g Talon TSI AWD. Thanks for the help.

Good luck! Did you keep the harness from the other car? You might want to keep some of the connectors as spares for your 90.

I traded the other car, so I no longer have any of it. Thanks
