Wiring Harness Question (cut harness)
I'm i the process of getting my theft recovery ITR put back together. I have not had a lot of time to spend on the car yet. The only major problem I've seen so far with this rebuild is the wiring harness under the hood. I am asking for some opinions here as to what I should do. Should I replace this part of the harness? Should I buy a JDM harness and cut that up and splice it in my existing wiring? Drop in a carbed 350 that dosen't need wiring?
Here are some pictures:
How the car currently looks sitting in the garage
Engine bay:
Cut harness on the passenger side
Cut harness on the driver's side
Interior
The ECU harness looks to be fine
On a side note, has anyone used this type of paint before?
I plan on painting the cage with this stuff
Let me know what you guys think I should do about the harness.

I might take you up on that. No 350 for me. I already bought a B18C5.

Just leave me enough room to fit my hands in there and I'll be happy to help out.
Looks like we got time before it must be done, I call you when I'm coming.

Re: Wiring Harness Question (Bradstard)
Im not to sure how helpful this is, but if you do decide to repair your harness I could take pics of my harness for you. It is slightly hacked up but no where as near as bad as yours. I probably can take some pics this weekend for you to see if it helps. Also, I have the Helms electrical manual somewhere, which i can lend to you.

Re: Wiring Harness Question (importfan2)
I know it doesn't have to be a JDM harness but they are MUCH cheaper since you can't really use them in a USDM car. Are the harness plugs the same on the LS/RS/GSR as the ITR? I should be ok using any 96-99 since they are all OBDIIa. What about 00-01?

yes they are, but you'll have to run the VTEC wires just like when you swap a c1-c5 into an LS. Also depending on what year LS harness, you may have to run another extra wire for the tach. Simple as can be though
the plugs from 94-2001 are exactly the same between the firewall harness and engine harness.

Re: Wiring Harness Question (Erik95LS)
I would solder them, this is cheap build on a budget, correct? I will peel back the tape and plastic and take some decen pics.... shouldnt be too hard. Hell, I'll even try to go to the junk yard and hack away a harness out of a obd2a teg.

After getting all the pictures..... You could go either way, besides a few extra plugs, I dont know what the difference between a gsr/ls and a ITR dash harness are..

Re: Wiring Harness Question (walker111)
soldering all that just seems iffy to me...could be an easy fix or a nightmare waiting to happen.
I may have the plugs you need i have a jdm itr harness but i cant remember if it still has the dash side of the harness connected to the plugs or not.

whats up with the electrical tape on the ecu connector wires?</TD></TR></TABLE>
Looks like it had a VAFC installed. Overall, it's all there. I'm glad they didn't snip those wires too.

Re: (Hooch'n)
Brad, I was going to rewire the GSR a few months back. I would say find the plugs if at all possible. A complete main harness is not cheap (and you may not need the whole thing) as you know and a GSR harness is not exactly plug and play unfortunately.
I can not tell, any interior wires cut too?
