Hello,

I have recently purchased a 1973 Porsche 914 roller chassis. I found and purchased a 2004 Subaru WRX engine with the stock ECU. The engine and ECU did not come with the wiring harness that connects the two. My question to all of you gurus is this... What do I have to do to make this work? I have heard I am embarking on a nightmare, but I figured someone here should be able to help. Please let me know any tricks of the trade to help me install this motor and kick the butts of all the folks here in Vegas.

Thanks for your help folks!

Your best option would be to go with a standalone ECU like Haltech, Motec, Tec II, or something to that effect. The wiring would be a whole lot simpler than finding a WRX harness and splicing it in somehow.

Now, installing the motor and getting everything mechanical meshing together correctly is a different battle completely, I'd have no idea where to start on a project like that, although I'm sure it's been done many times before.

 

Contact DS Baruuuu in the Hawaii regional section. He'd have advice for you.
