hi guys, I'm sure this question has been beat to death but i cant get deffinitive answers from searching or anything. I plan on ordreing a ca18 front clip and doing it with my friend who has done some wiring work and other things.. What we need to know is the specifics of the harness splicing and wiring. could someone give me a write up.. not just on what colors match what, but which wires need to be extended, where things need to be spliced, and such. thanks!

i have read that. its in no way complete and the wiring directions are too vague for what i asked they dont go into the areas best to splice and say nothing about the pinouts of the 2 ecu's so could anyone else help me? oh. does the swap use the ka or ca driveshaft..

YES IT HAS!

honestly that SR swap guide has everything you need to know as far as wiring... do you really want one of us to go measure exactly where we cut, and how long we added to each part of the harness? if you have half a brain you can figure out how to wire up a CA using that guide and the pinouts in the FSM... ECU pinouts and a downloadable FSM are listed in the FAQ section at the top of the page, and in countless other posts.

please figure out how to use the search function (make sure you search archived posts as well as recent ones) and if you have a more appropriate question, then make a new thread about it.

I'll leave this open awhile for you to clarify exactly what you're looking for or to see if we can help you find the information you're looking for... I just hate all these new threads we've been having lately asking the same questions that have been asked so many times before. Newbs need to learn how to search a little
