3sgte swap Q, has anyone one? Options

[zipstrips]

ordered a usdm 3sgte wireharness from the dealer and use it on the jdm motor in a swap. shouldnt it be the same if u use a alltrac and a 2nd gen clip?

simply put, instead of modding the 3s harness to length, can't we just get the longer usdm harness and use this when installed say a 2nd gen all trac clip? if all the tune up parts work, & sensors, shouldnt the harness work too?

Thats a good question and a good idea if it will work. Also have you posted this over at c.net, I know that there are a lot of guys that might be able to answer this question.

ya know, hmmm that MAY work...but the harness at a dealer would run ya like at least $800
hmmm somthing to think about..

and it still has to be rewired to work with the 6GC heater/AC and other things

there is no plug in harness available unless you take the original and the JDM and send them to Qatar

It wont be plug and play...and if you do certain things it'll be exactly like using the JDM harness...i didnt extend mine.

OK, The wiring is the only thing stopping me from doing a swap. If I used a 2nd gen 3sgte engine and 2nd gen ecu(both the engine and ecu would be usdm), what wouldn't work on my car. Would it be drivable?

every other system in your car wouldnt work, you know the small things, like your speedo and tach, engine light, oil pressure light, temp guage... just some small things

actually I dont know how much mike wires into the other stuff, but it could actually be alot more... like headlights, turn signals, ignition, etc. considering the positive to the battery is at the end of the harness.

is the wiring that much of a pain in the ass. shouldn't an experienced mechanic who has done swaps before be able to do the wiring?

or mike (qatar) that has done multiple harnesses.

[Supersprynt]

Theres no way around the wiring. If you dont wanna do the wiring, you can send the harness to Mike he'll do it for a few hundred.

DRILL A NEW HOLE IN YOUR FIREWALL! that way you dont have to make the harness longer. i really dont understand why more people dont do this.
