Wiring connector locations and hose locations

[aaronjk]

Sup I'm new to posting so if i screwed up something please forgive me. I bought a 95 gsx three weeks ago now with 100K on the clock for 2300 "just needed the turbo replaced" i figured there would be more to it then that, and i was right. Well the guy who had it before was a poser and didn't know anything about dsms (or maybe even cars for that mater) and he screwed up all sorts of stuff. POOR CAR So i need some help if you have a 2GA or know about the harnesses please help. iv looked all over the forums for the info and cant find anything for the 2GA.

i cant find a home for these wires (some he had all torn up so i clipped them clean)

And I'm pretty sure this is the vehicle speed sensor but cant find the plug for it. Is that the green one with the red/green/black/white in it?

And the coolant and oil lines THIS DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT TO ME!!!! (this is how i got the car) can anyone verify these for me? (Arrows and circles are just so you all know what I'm talking about) This line goes down and is connected to the oil filter connection

well i can say that i have the line going from the thermostat to the oil pump. and from looking at my 97 i dont have those wires that u asked about being factory but for the rest i cant tell u any for sure answers ### i dont want to say if im not sure but i hope that little bit helps.

Looks like that car used to be an automatic. Someone left behind the auto plugs and harness, and got lazy on the oil cooler lines as well.

(This car is m/t so it will only help you some.)

 

[Lusion972]

all those connections are from the automatic harness, if I were you I would source out a manual harness and swap it over. The connector on the tranny that has no plug is from the reverse sensor. Alot of hack jobs there but nothing you cant fix over time. The charcoal canister should have another line going to it. So yeah, source a manual harness and swap it over, that will resolve some of your issues. And then correct all oil and coolant lines...it will take time but do it right and you wont have the issue later.

 

[Andrew Conrady]

nice info turbosax

 

[aaronjk]

Thanks for all the input guys. I don't think the actual car was an auto but someone could have put an auto harness in. And i saw that wiring diagram before and its vary well put together but the 2GA has some different stuff then the 2GB. Anyone know where i can get a manual 2GA or 2GB harness? I have a 6 bolt that I'm building and will put in at a later time with all new wiring, but i would like another harness for all the plugs. And so there is supposed to be coolant running to my oil pump?WTF and the oil cooler to my radiator? that just seems off, haven't seen that on all the cars iv worked on before.

 

[crusindregs]

DAMMMM i feel bad for that car too man u need to get a full wiring harness diagram from something like alldata or a manual to tell you what all the connectors lead to and their components. if you dont know much about cars have someone who knows what hes doing look at it dont let a hack rig shit up jus ### its dirt cheap, chances are its not gonna cause more unwanted problems in the endrun good luck

 

[dsm'r sk1mp]

..... ok you got yourself a mess but time will cure k. just do as tehy all said cause nothing i say will be adding on to what they said... all i can do is say good luck man and bring another dsm back from the grave.. we need em

 

[aaronjk]

yeah, i know my way around a car damn well if i have actual info to go off of. I should have the rest of the parts i need to get it running by this weekend so I'll piece it back together and trouble shot it from there. just need it running for now.(looking at full wiring swap, 6bolt with t3/t4, and paint with in less then a year anyways) The thing is common sense tells me oil and coolant lines don't play nice. From what lgibson08 was saying there is supposed to be a coolant line going to the oil pump. Is that oil cooler line supposed to go to the radiator? I don't see the point in either of these due to the fact both the coolant and oil have dedicated coolers but someone let me know. Thanks for all the help

 

[inneed4dsm]

that canister under the battery tray you can completely remove and just plug off the vacuum lines

 

[Lusion972]

ok that one coolant line coming from the thermostat or what ever, is that turbo coolant feed line?

now the oil line going from the oil cooler to the radiator sounds a bit off...on the 1g the oil lines from the oil filter adapter. Are there any on there that are messed up or wrong? is there another oil line coming out of the radiator heading some where else?

this has got to be the worst post i have ever read, and you even wrote that you had nothing to contribute to the thread, so why bother? horrible way to get that post count up buddy

 

[aaronjk]

DUUUUU I'm smart thanks Lusion972 I didn't even think to look to see if there was an oil out on the radiator. (there is not) and no its not a coolant feed for the turbo.(that line is just below it. I'm thinking what the guy did was some how got these two lines switched.
Has anyone pulled the evaporative emissions crap out? Any negative side effects? i would rather not have to deal with some annoying warning lights or something

 

[Dsmj89]

The coolant lines you circled are correct.
As for the open nipple on the charcoal canister, that nipple is connected to a hose that runs to the intake.

i didn't read through ALL of the above posts but i did read your OP and i can answer 99% of your questions.
go pull out a piece of paper and run out to your DSM and pull the VIN # off of the dash on the driverside... then call a local mitsu dealer and ask them what kind of drivetrain was on the car (automatic or manual) and i think your going to be surprised at the answer.

if you had the correct (M/T) wiring harness there would be a plug that goes into this that makes your REVERSE LIGHTS come on when you put it in reverse. I did my A/T to M/T swap and haven't had reverse lights since because i still run my A/T wiring harness... $10 your reverse lights don't come on when your backing up!

have you been able to drive the car and see if your speedometer works? this connector looks like it plugs onto the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) which sits right smackdab in the middle of the rear motor mount. if you look under the back passenger side of the intake manifold you'll see the sensor (if its even in the transmission) poking through that motor mount on the tranny

your oil filter housing is WATER COOLED so these lines are correct, they are coolant lines... insure their integrity though because those small sections of rubber hose get old and the rubber cracks.

the reason why im almost 100% sure your car was once an automatic is because of this picture... this was once your automatic transmission cooler that is no longer needed if youve got the M/T in there. remove that thing but keep the mounting bracket for it, later you can mount a oil cooler there.

it looks like the previous owner did a fuel pump rewire by looking at these two pictures here...
trace these wires and im sure they'll lead you right to the fp under the passenger seat

this is just the charcoal canister that helps the car pass emissions it looks like he disconnected the vacuum line running to it. if you must know where this goes ill run out to my car and trace it for you, its just emissions stuff though man... do you really plan on passing emissions with that GSX?

i hope i was able to help you more than confuse the hell out of you. if the 5th digit in your VIN # is the letter "K" then your car WAS a GS-T ( "L" then it really is a GSX) but there is no way of decoding the VIN for the type of transmission (automatic or manual) but the dealer can tell you...

anymore questions? shoot.

Corey you saved my hide man that was all VARY helpful it all makes sense now. (no offense to people that drive autos) i could tell the kid that had this car before was a poser had a bunch of fake carbon fiber crap all over the car and the auto just explains everything. this poor car has been screwed. i wouldn't have a problem if i was the one that did all the work. should i just cap that plug on the bottom of the radiator?

yes. and im glad i could help... this website is worth more than its weight in gold, keep cruising these forums and soak up all up all the info you can. you can do anything/fix anything on that dsm with this website and the knowledge of its members.
it looks like you've got your hands full with that car but WORTH IT once you get it up and running and see full boost for the first time.

 

[Alex Bland]

sorry for 2 posts on ## thread i think where i marked #2 that goes on air filter area somewhere but i dont see it in car. and #1 u should be able to see i think its where it goes

 

[gofer]

since you keep getting random posts like this ^^^ ill take a picture of my A/T wiring harness and all of its UN-USED connectors so you can verify what you need. It looks like he cut one of them off to maybe use it somewhere else?

 

[aaronjk]

thanks again Corey your the bomb. i just got the auto cooler take care of and im moving on to hooking up my exhaust manifold/turbo my buddy had a td05 laying around so im throwing that in for now. I dealing with oil and coolant lines(has some different hook ups) idk if i will have it running this weekend or not (place i bought my gaskets from missed my oil dump gasket) i might just make one. i'll let everyone know when i get it running thanks again for all the help.

Hmm.... isn't that exactly what... hmm...

Looks like what he was trying to do with the coolant lines was to bypass the turbo, either to run the car with the turbo off or to run an oil cooled turbo.

You should be able to tell if the car started life as an automatic by the sticker on the firewall (if it's still there, not painted over, and legible).
