Engine Wiring>>>>> Help needed ASAP
#1
Hi guys i am currently getting a new engine fitted to my STI5 type r. The engine im getting is coming from a my97 sti type r. The problems we have encountered so far are that the wires for the idle control valve on my old engine are 6 whereas on the new engine the plug only takes 3 wires. Is there any way of making this wiring fit without having to change the wiring loom for the entire car???
Cheers

Idle control valve is completely different between phase 1 and phase 2 engines, your Phase 2 ECU will not be able to control the Phase 1 idle value. Also the inlet manifold design is different so you may not be able to simply fit the Phase 2 manifold to the Phase 1 block.
There are numerous wiring harness differences between those 2 years of car, mainly due to them using different engines, I also believe the cams are different so the ECU ignition maps will need changing.
