I have an ecu with a big number 98 on it for my ca, I got it in today and tried fitting it onto the harness i got with the engine...when i try putting them together, the fncking blue connector isnt wide enough, its nowhere close to fitting, anyone know what harness i got instead of the harness i need? And also, anyone have a prefereably uncut harness for my s13 or can help me find one...PLEASE HELP...

Thanks man, but the problem is that I dont see the point of matching those clips if even the ECU doesnt fit into the clip....Im gonna look at them, but the ecu clip on the harness is too small...have any idea what I have..the ecu is apparantly right. I was planning on doing my swap in a couple weeks waiting to find an ecu but this just messes everything up...

i got it from someone in florida, not a shop or importer. The engine itself is in ok condition, just that one flywheel bolt hole needs rethreading... I got everything except the dropping resistor, ignitor, ecu (even though i was supposed to) and apparantly the right harness for 700, dude needed the money so gave up on the swap, i think personally he didnt have these parts.. I got a q45 ignitor the ecu and ordered a dsm dropping resistor. Man whatever you can do to help I really appreciate it.

The sad thing is im sure i saw that harness up on ebay last week and was gonna bid on it, but just said nahh i have obne
