why spend $100+ on a converted mpfi wire harness when you can buy a stock one and convert it to mpfi yourself for pennies on the dollar...if you really dont care about the money then here you go...!!!

you can put a modified mpfi harness if the harness was from your particular model because it will mate up with the cabin harness...you cant put a si one in a dpfi equipped vehicle because it wont match up with the rest of the wiring...!!!

Taken from the the other thread that you've created before you bumped up this dead thread:

DPFI - you need to use the original DPFI engine harness and add wiring for the injectors, add injector resistor box and add wiring for the cylinder sensor

MPFI - you need to use the original MPFI engine harness and change the connector at the distributor and extend the wires for the cylinder sensor, which is on the end of the exhaust camshaft
