my wiring harness is cut, and im not cutting any corners for once so i am going to buy a new harness. i was searching under yahoo and i read some stuff that said the s13 sr harnesses can be used for the ca harnesses.

can anyone confirm or shut down this?

thanksmatt

If you are thinking the SR harness is gonna be a direct plug on thing, that won't be happening.

Yes the SR and the Ca share most of the same sensors, but few sensors are different and won't plug in. The sensors that are shared with both engines are located in different places on the engines, so you will definitely have to extract the wiring from the SR to reroute them to work with the Ca sensors due to their location.For example, the CAS sensor plug on the CA is completely different, as well as the ignitor plugs, unless you use an sr ignitor and good luck finding these as they could be pricey.Also, the injectors plugs are keyed differently.The ecu plug will plug on the CA ecu, but I am pretty sure the Blue plug for ecu on the SR has different pin out locations.

The bottom line, yes you can make it work but it will cause you tons of time and you have to cut plugs of the SR harness and replace them with plugs that will work on the Ca.To be honest with you, it will be easier to extend the cut harness and fix it than going though the SR route, all what you have to do is match the wiring colors.

Not sure if any one here might have one to sell you.

Good luck,PULSAR GTRRafi

sdtouge- ryan (float) wanted to buy my harness but we both thought it was damaged. I haven't heard back from him and I think he may not be interested in it if it's a good harness, so I may have one to sell if and when I can get a hold of an sds.

Otherwise I think the SR harness is a good idea since the ecu is better and it would allow you to use an sr power fc, ems, etc. Would you need new injectors or can you drop the resistor, I don't know but that may be a problem.
