LSX wiring help!

V8 240sx? Sure! If either the chassis OR the engine is non-Nissan (i.e. SR20 in an RX-7 or LS1 in a 240sx), we've done it.

While the 98 will get the job done, if you can find a 99+ PCM, I think it will be easier for you to find information and apparently the later years are more flexible and easier to tune...sorry I don't know specifics. If you can get the car to KY, we can take care of you, but if not, e-mail at oxymoron240 @ gmail . com and I think I have some 98 diagrams.

There isn't one place it has to come from. You can pull from a few places. I am not familiar w/ the S13 like I am the S14, but I pulled almost all my power from the F3 plug...which is where the old engine harness plugged in for power. Once I found the pinout for it, I used an old KA harness and pulled out (acutally de-pinned, not pulled) the wires I didn't need and had a little power harness basically.

You will need a few sources for constant battery power and a few sources for switched power. A lot of it will depend on where you plan on mounting your ECU.
