Use the present na EM harness IF it is a series four engine. If it's a series five engine.......do a search on the forum or read rotary resurrections site. I'd NEVER use a series four turbo EM harness on a series four n/a car. NOT saying it can't be done. Not saying that at all.
You could even use a series five engine in the car with series five ECU if you don't mind repinning wires b/t the Front harness and the EM harness and can spend some time looking at the pinouts of a series five EM HARNESS (note, I did not say ECU, but EM harness and looking at a series four wiring pinouts also so you swap/splice/dice the right wires. A fellow just last month wrote that this is what he did and the thing runs . Did I say IT'S NOT PLUG AND PLAY.
Neither is using a series four turbo engine in a non turbo car with a turbo EM harness plug and play. There are differences b/t the wire pinouts in the mating harness plugs on the Front harness for a na vs a turbo. NEVER said it can't be done, just is NOT plug and play.
I'd do a Search on this forum. Maybe Archieves also.
