im obviously new here, and i understand the need/concern for a standalone system however its not in the budget as of now...if anyone could please direct me to somewhere with a wiring diagram of the cosmo or some wiring info on the 13b-re engine harness that would be great....im doing a 13b-re swap in an fc n/a, ive already spent way too much money and i need to get the car running asap for transportation reasons...im not looking for max hp or anything special..just trying to get the engine to run, the car is gutted, i wont need any info on the rest of the car harness to splice in....that would be nice..but i dont need it...


primary goal is to get the 13b-re engine to run with the jdm cosmo engine harness and cosmo stock ecu....thanks in advance for any help given

 

You'll have more chance to find this information on www.ausrotary.com

 

if you get a t2 harness and ecu you should be able to run your 13bre. at least that is the way i have it. go to fc3spro.com

 

im having a hard time tracking down the t2 harness and ecu unfortunately....where in texas are you? im in the richardson area....

 

i need 1 more post to send msgs lol

 

Yeah, go on over to fc3spro.com or ausrotary.com since they are more common in Australia. IIRC though you can use a Series 5 TII harness with early model FD ECU and get that bad boy running. Been done before, just search around.

 

only problem i cant find an s5 harness and ecu for a decent price..muchless an s5 harness period

 

you dont want an s5 harness. you want a s4 and it doesnt have to be turbo, an n/a harness will be easier and cheaper. youl also need s4 tII ecu ****. just get a harness i have a ecu somewhere if you really cant find one

 

i have an s4 n/a harness and i can get an s5 t2 ecu for $75 locally...i just dont know what all wiring is in store for me....any ideas?

 

wernt all the 13b-rE / 20b models in japan from the cosmo ALL automatic? i assume your keeping the auto tranny then, if you swapped a 5spd in the 13bre ecu wont work properly, honestly , its a project, save up a few paychecks and get a decent standalone, that way you wont have to worry about anything going wrong once you get it all up and running, and the potential / life of the engine will go way up if you have a good local tuner for your selected Standalone of your choice.

 

s5 ecu won't work you need to stay w/ your series 4 stuff or nothing will work. if you already have a n/a harness whats the problem just search and find the nessieary wiring on this site some where. As for going 5 speed make sure you use the right counter weight behind the flywheel your looking at like a hundred bucks for the ecu and a few hours of wiring after you get every thing in the car. Don't forget the s4 tII boost sensor, maf sensor, and other misc stuff. The easiest way is to remove all emissions and other unnessisary things on the motor

 

im going to buy an 87 t2 on monday so ill do the swap with that car...way less problems and work plus im getting the car for a decent price...anyone looking for a super clean shell ?? all n/a drivetrain included....even an engine
