Icemack> Ok I will take your word that there is
differences between 87 and 88.
This is the first n/a to TII swap that I have done
with the exception of the 20b I put in the 1988 ae.
all I know is what I have in front of me, I have a 87 TII motor
and its harness, a 88 n/a car, a 1987 mazda factory
shop manual, and wiring manual, it shows the x-15 and
x-16 plugs and all the connections to these plugs, it
matches what I have in front of me on both the motor
harness, and the car harness, it shows what wires are
in each location of the plugs for both the TII and n/a, thus
I assumed that the 87 and 88 were basically the same "in
these plugs" the only thing I can see is if there are
differences between u.s. and Canadian cars, we could be arguing
about what you have in the u.s and what we have in Canada.

As for any remarks about attitude, I don't think I have taken
any kind of offensive, or demeaning posture and do not intend to.
The information on the rotaryresurrection site is a great resource
that is much appreciated, but in my case didn't contain all the
information my application required. Lets try to determine where
the differences are before we declare war.

I thought the point of the forum was to post your opinon, experences, knowledge, and ideas, this is exactly what Matt is doing. Why flame him? I know Kevin, and icemark know their shit, but Matt has the wiring diagram to prove his statements. I have not added the new wires except for the alternator plug, and my car runs fine, but it's good to know about them


Right or wrong, that's my oponin and I am sticking to it.

Its good to have an opinion, but in this case, now started off by saying even though it is... if you do it right.

and then Kevin, Aaron and myself are simply suggesting that he himself is not doing it correctly, and are concerned that newbies reading this thread will read his comments an be confused, despite the hundreds of threads and sites on this very subject.

The simple fact that he can't even read the manual and see the difference between an 87 and 88 makes his claims very suspect to me (and I am sure others) right there. heck the different injectors between the 86-87 and the 88 and wiring differences and pin differences found even in a Haynes should tell him that.

Now if he started the thread with: hey these are the problems I found when putting in the wrong year motor in this car and not changing all the harnesses, and how I got around them...here are my wiring diagrams.

But I don't believe that we flamed him in anyway, despite the questionable information he has posted.
