Pin 43 will wire in through the dash plug, that sends your signals to and from the dash and ignition IIRC. I think it matches to the orange wire in the dash plug. Pin 45, I believe that runs from up near the battery tray area, either in the grey or brown plug that connects on the fuse box connectors.

The inj grounds, you say they are hot does that mean hot to the touch? Maybe sticking injectors or a bad ground elsewhere is overworking these wires.

Just to clarify. 43 to dash plug is correct-45" also connects to dash plug

I am still unclear with the eccs and ing. coil relay wiring. Power does not just go from f3 to eccs plug it go's up and down harness FACTORY connections.

If you read all the guides and look at the wiring diagrams everything is almost to the "T". With the theory that the ecu grounds the relays switching them both on upon ignition signal. To include fuel pump? This is done by the drivers.....

I think im correct maybe someone can keep that going. I have just traced every single wire and looked at and verified every source over a wk. I cant afford to toast another eccs.

HEADs up guys *some of the wiring schematics differ slightly i found 3 diff. ones* some leave crap out but the rb20det shop manuals is by far the best kind of big tho.

I wired in my s13 myself and it worked perfectly. I kinda looked at an s14s wiring and its a little more involved, but its doable. Just make sure you solder everything. Its definitely possible because on the s13 its like 12 wires, and barely more for an s14.

I have a link some where to a bunch of saved files from race bread. I just have to find it. Its got good s14 wiring in there some where....

Please find it rust. Maybe im the only one doing s14 wiring right now. I really just cannot find any information what so ever.

Just to add from the factory pin 49,59 both have constant power along with injectors NOT Switched like the schematic shows! Please someone check that out maybe im just screwed.

Can't seem to find a clear answer for this. So I'll ask here.

If I get McKinney mounts, I'll have to hammer the firewall.

If I get the R32 cross, I can use my stock mounts.

BUT will I still have to hammer the firewall, and has anyone had any hood clearance issue with the R32 cross member?

I'm have a question about the wiring. I can't seem to figure out which white wire going to the fuse box to wire to the RB harness. none of the how-to's seem to have pics or details. any help?

This guide shows it.

The white purple (thick) whire on the 6 wire dash plug goes into that.Youll have to peal back the loom on the chassis harness (passenger side with the fuse box) and the white wires in there. Note there is 2...one is thick the other is reallly thick. You only want the thick one. Someone correct me if im wrong...
