Fixing a 2nd gen 3sgte harness / preping for my swap, no, its not going in Jenns car, its going in MINE! ;) Options

[presure2]

so yea,
as most of ya know, we recently did up a 3rd gen swap for jim and as "payment" he gave me his 2nd gen setup.
as most of ya also know, this setup was originally RJB23's car, which was pretty much a mess from the day jim and shannon bought it.
Click me for details of that story

so once we got the 2nd gen motor up here, it has been sitting on a stand, waiting its turn.
i finally got around to getting the harness off, and am starting to get it cleaned, stripped, repaired, rerouted, rewrapped, and reloomed.
like everything else about the swap in that car, this engine harness was no diffrent, and in defense to the guy who did it (IIRC DGperformace did it) it did work, it was just routed and wrapped all crazy, and the ECU end basicly looked like a birds nest from people troubleshooting the ecu and wiring while it was in the car.
so i started tearing into it, and dustin came by last night and helped me get the interior plugs sorted out, since there was lots of "dead" (wires that go to nowhere) wires in the harness.
i also removed all the stuff i wont need or use, including all the ac stuff, TVIS, TVSV, ect.
once that was done, i went about cleaning and fixing any loose or broken wires, (there were a few, one of which wouldnt allow the car to start with the key...lmao) and rerouting and rewrapping it, getting it ready to be reloomed.
here are a few pics of how that is going.

first, the before. sorry for the blurry pic, its the only one i took..lol



this wire was in the harness that was routed behind the intake manifold, instead of inside of it, like it should be, and chaffed on the IM until it broke..just so happens this is the wire that tells the starter to crank. yes, jim, this really is why your car wouldnt start with the key! lmao



how the ECU side of the harness looks now:



and some of the leftovers:


and just for refrence, a pic of what a stock USDM 3s harness looks like, for an idea of what this one should look like when its done.


ill keep updating this thread and adding pics as i go along and continue with the project.

So are you saying you ran a brand new wire from pin 17 clutch start sw, directly to the starter relay and nothing else?
If you do that, then you also would have to take the 3sgte starter sw wire and the 6th gen starter sw wire and join them together. Then wire the cor pin 3 to IG2 pin 20, and the ST ecu pin.

That way when the starter cranks, it will send power through the starter sw wire to the cor, cold start injector, cold start sw, and ecu. That would probably be the proper way of doing this.

we added a wire at pin 17, and tapped that into the black COR wire.
dave just had a jumper soldered in.
if i have my way, i wont be using the CSI anyway.
