ok I figured out the wiring for the Dash Side: I do have pictures of everything but I dont know where to post them from.

Yellow / Red stripe Tachometer signal

Yellow / Green stripe Speedometer signal

Orange Ignition start

Black Ground

Blue / Green stripe AC signal

Blue / Black stripe Water temp signal

These all match.OK now on to the Engine Side. The Problem im having is the Plugs leading into the fuse box. The Colors on the SOHC is not the same as the Diagrams from HT and NissanPerformanceMAG since they all installed the engine in a Kouki. I need to know which wires on the KAE mean. The Chiltons sux0rs. I already extended the MAF. So if you can help I can probably create a Sticky on how to install the engine in a SOHC.. thanks alot

http://www.srswap.com/faq/index.asp#harness I used that and it pretty much worked like a charm. As he said, you'll have to straight wire the knock sensor into the CA harness as the SOHC's didn't have a knock sensor and so they won't have the wiring for it.

are you sure it worked like a charm?? because on the CA harness theres the IACV Wire and on my Grey Plug there is no wire in that spot.. I did although spliced the ca harness to the male connector of the KA Lower Harness in order to plug it in the Fusebox..

The ONLY thing that I didn't do EXACTLY like that was to hook up the brown O2 to the brown in my SOHC harness as it was a switched 12V source.
