Whats up guys? I really need a full wiring harness for my 87tII... where would be the best place for me to get one? If i go through mazda they are expensive as hell....

Search on either my username, or harness. I just did this about a month ago. Bought my harness from Mazdatrix. Sit down. $600.

It's real, and it's SPECTACULAR.

Six hundred dollars.... good loooooooord dats a lot a money.... how about I give you 25 cents and a stick of bubble gum, and you give me a few plugs??

Aaron

 

How about you add another $400 to it and buy a haltech with its own simple wiring harness and callit an upgrade project.

 

How easy would it be for me to put a haltek in myself?? They do come with their own harness and shizzil right??

I bought a harness(used but good) off of ebay for 150$ for my 88' T2 E-mail the dude on ebay about a turbo harness, he's got a couple of rx7's that he's parting out.

 

forgot to mention-
just type in rx7 in the search thingy(on ebay.com) and scroll through the items. It'll be there.

 

Hey guys... i have a harness now... should i have a shop put it in or do it myself? I've heard its a ten hour job from mazda... that could be some mad cash from me to have someone put it in. How hard would it be to do myself?? and is there any documentation on how to do it?

Thanks

Aaron

 

Aaron, it's just a matter of taking things off to access the plugs and plugging the harness in. Hell, I can even help work on it this week. I'm off work tomorrow and Thursday. I need to do the plugs in my TII anyways...it should be a little warmer tomorrow too.

 

Hey Zach... I'm actually not in cincy right now... i'll prly just have mazda do it.. they can hook it up to a computer and make sure it all works right then too.... pm later

Dude, save yourself the money and do it yourself. It's not that hard. The most you'll have to do is remove the intercooler and upper intake. Save that $400 (if even THAT cheap, ten hours labor is expensive!!!) for upgrades!!!

Hmmm... they're probably making out to be harder than it is eh?? I dunno... my mom wants me to just get it friggin done and have mazda do it. Do you know if there is anywhere I can go that gives the full wiring diagram so I can see where things go? Anyways... I just want my car back!! RIDA SKITUR!!! (sp?)

Hey taco,

Don't take your car to the dealer, you can do this. The first things to fry are usually the plastic plugs. You can get replacement plugs from rotary performance, a lot cheaper than a new harness. You will have to remove the intercooler and upper intake, no biggie. If you have to run new injector wires like I did, you'll have to remove the vaccuum tree.

 

Just take a few extra minutes to mark all the wires and lines for re-assembly and your good to go!

 

replacing a harness is not the hard. when i put in my j-spec engine i simply removed upper intake manifold,bolts that hold down the hard metal lines on top of the block and removed 1 plug on the old harness and plug in the same plug on the new harness.so you are just replacing connections one by one using the existing harness as a guide. this method worked for me and that was the first time i ever worked on a mazda rx-7.

 

on the haltech comment, for
$1000 you get a haltech, 3 bar map, nothing but wires, no end plugs on em or nothin, btw I hear their ended wiring sucks, and best to wire it completely yourself ;-)
So you're still wiring yourself which I wouldn't mind doing, just some might not...
but I hear its not that bad *cough* http://www.ricemobile.net/haltech.htm
