96+ rx7 engine "black box" into a 93rx7 questionnn
ok so i purchased an engine not knowing it was an 96+ with the "black box" instead of the rats nest and the harness is different.I kept my old tranny and only purchased the motor everything went in smooth connected everything and went to plug in the ecu and found out that the plugs were different. Here is some pictures is there an extension harness i could buy somewhere where it will just plug in without having to splice wires because the harness is different.
Help would be appreciated thx

When doing this swap theres no choice but to splice the wires in.
From what I can remember when I did the swap on my car there was the dash harness connector that I depinned then just transfered the connector over so I wouldnt have to splice those wires (these wires are close to the firewall on the engine harness).
As for the main body harness connector ( I believe the 2 yellow plugs in your picture) have to spliced into one plug on the ecu. It looks like your missing this ecu plug tho. You should have 2 plugs from the engine harness into the ecu and 1 plug coming from the ecu going to the dash harness (the one your missing).
