Whatsup just a few questions I'd like some plain yes or no anwsers too pleaseee lol thanks guys any other input welcome



1st my egr system...rather then doing the block off plat..can I just get the cap from jgs and cap off the line weather weld or pinch shut on the tube?

2nd safc/conversion harness...I have a tuned s13 ecu I bout with the kit off someone and wanted to know since I got an s14 to s13 ecu conversion off of someone ..where do I wire the safc too?can I wire it to the conversion harness since it will be easy and out of the car?if so what pin out should I follow s13 or s14?
Also the conversion harness is for a 95 but all is well due to me not worrying about emmisions.

And water lines for the turbo can I just tee it off the core hoses?

#1: Yes.
#2: Yes, you can T off the patch harness. Use the S13 wiring diagram seeing as how that is the ECU you are using.
#3: Good question. Originally I was thinking no because of the heater control valve, but as long as you tap in before that I don't see why not. Usually people just go from the throttle body coolant lines though.

Yeah?ok cool thanks bro I appreciate the responce ...now with the water lines the kid I bought the jit from was running them to the heater core...I want to do the throttle body method but do I have to remove my intake or tb?I read the how to and can't seem to put my finger on it?

No you don't have to remove anything, just cut the lines and splice in some new ones to run to your turbo and back! AFAIK, it doesn't matter which one goes where either (not feed/supply or return dependent, so long as it flows).

Yeah you're probably gonna have to bleed it again. No, I don't have any advice. The KA coolant system is a pain in my arse.

The hot coolant will still circulate through your heater core even though the blower motor doesn't work.

Yeah, cap off the EGR or remove it from the intake mani and use a block-off plate. Not sure if capping it off will throw a code or anything.

No clue about the SAFC... I've never used one.
