Default em2 EPS swap from ep3, Electrical question??

So i have read the clubrsx diy thread on the EP3 eps swap (http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=606165). Was wondering instead of buying the extra harness for the stock ecu if i can just use T-taps for the VSS, switched ignition, and rpm wires to the BCU? Didn't know if by doing it this way if the BCU would be reading the correct amount of change and if this could damage my ECU by adding more wiring/resistance.

Thanks I appreciate the info.

I take it you are trying to avoid the boomslang brand harness, carefully connect to the factory harness, I myself would solder into the harness instead of using scotch lock type connectors.

Yes, I am installing this tomorrow. Does it matter where or how close to the ECM I should splice into the wires?

Thanks

Do not imagine an extra foot or two from where you tap into the main powertrain harness will make any difference, the voltage will still have to travel the same distance to your eps electroinc control unit.
