Ive been working on wiring a rb25 into my 94 vert, and when it came to the dash wiring i found that all of the wire colors are different then in any install links ive found for any engine install into the s13. Anyone else notice this, and are the pins still the same, just different color wires???? Any info would be GREAT! Thanks!

there is only one plug in the dash that you would need if your doing a rb25 or any swap for that matter. and its the white plug that gives signal to your gauges.

I have an rb in my car and i'm almost sure there the same. when i put in my rb the harness was already done for a single cam i cut the sohc plug off and macthed it to the dohc one it worked fine. if you want tommorow i'll take a picture so that you can see it.

And yes i looked at the fsm for the verts it has the exact same dash harness

you need to cut the brown plug from your engine harness and the macth the colors to the sr one it's very easy.
