First off, I came across 2 FC bare chasis (no wires, nothing but bare metal). One was RHD and the other was a GXL. I got a JDM T2 motor and trans with "complete" wire harness and ECU and dropped it into the RHD FC. I guess I wired it correctly, but there seems to be no power when I turn the ignition switch (the ignition switch is from an 86' N/A FC). I tried 3 different computer boxes and still the same. There's power at the Main fuses in the engine bay. Otherwise, I'm clueless.

 

The RHD is an S5 and the GXL is an S4. There's no starter "click," engine won't turn, nothing. Both starters I've tried both work. The battery is new. I'm thinking maybe I need a clutch switch. Anybody????

 

can you turn accesories and stuff on? headlights, cd player, brake lights when you push them, all that crap when the switch is "on"

 

i had that problem when i swapped from na s5 to turbo s4... ended up being this stupid little blue plug that loops a wire right next to the driver side firewall... w/out that there, youll have problems.. but if its s5, then i dont think youll have that plug

 

Actually, there's no guage cluster, wiper switches, etc. I was planning on using aftermarket guages if I got the car to run. Anybody know of a write-up on this?? I just want the engine to turn over when I turn the ignition switch on or with the use of a toggle switch. =(

 

you said the starter is good. how did you check it. did you hook it up straight to the battery and see if it kicks out and spins. also check to see if you actually got power going to the starter the wire maybe fried or cut some where.

 

UPDATE: Found the problem. A single wire harness wasn't plugged in, by the main fuse box. Car has spark. Now I just need to hook up the Fuel pump and see... Here's some pics of the conversion.

 

damn what a prject good luck man hope to here good things from you
