after scratching my head for a few hours, I finally realized that the Del Sol Vtec harness will not work for a motor swap, and it is FAR easier to just use your stock harness.

seems like I always try to do stuff the hard way

more and more I realize that all there is to this automotive stuff is experience. once you have done something before, you can do it again in 1/4 the time

 

It's okay, I found out that I wasn't able to use the GSR harness AFTER we pulled the motor. Had to put it back in too. Took us another two trys before we figured it out.

Bummer.

 

So now you know. "And knowing is half the battle. GI JOE!!"

 

we used my friggin CX harness married to the GSR harness...and months later after my buddy does the swap, i see all over the web that "it's easier" to use an EX harness. too late now i guess!!!!

removed the Del sol harness, and installed the EX harness in all of 2 hours. contemplated, and sweated over this for 2 days....

 

i know one thing is for sure....that was probably the LONGEST 2 days you've lived so far!

Yup,
My plan is just let you guys do all the hard work first, then when I finally get around to swapping my engine and hopefully going turbo and all that good stuff I can just come in from the garage jump on here and you guys can flame me for not knowing simple stuff like which harness to use
So hopefully it will take half the learning curve off...

 

what an *******! smart tho! i'd do the same thing. but you have an EG, correct? if so the swap SHOULD be easier for you!

Ha I thought you were using a hammer for something!

 

awwww....so im i crook now? j/k...but seriously, i like the pic (it's on my wallpaper now) but you taught me a nice lesson "dont fucc with other people's ****!" respectfully, i will find something else that isnt a personal pic of anyones. i now realize that it must be frustrating to capture a nice pic like that and have some punkass(ME) just take it without asking...next time, i'll think twice! sorry again dude!
