This is a short harness that goes in between the ECU and the stock wiring harness. You can splice your electronics goodies into this harness, leaving the stock harness intact, and also remove the Autosport harness from the car so you can splice the wiring together comfortably and not up under the dash.

Considering my penchant for 3-letter electronics doodads, I decided to go ahead and get one .

I don't see how this is a review but more of a new thread against your old thread.

The link is to a review I posted on my site - I bought one of the harnesses and posted a "I have it in my hands" review .

BTW, it's $155 shipped now for the harness.

If you did much work that would be worth the price alone! My tall self absolutely hates crawling under the dash. It literally is bad for my health!

 

If you could get the plugs and pins yourself, I think it'd be sweet if you could have an extension harness as shown, but also a female bullet connector coming out of each plug on one side, so if you did need to hook anything up it would be so clean of an instal.

 

I wonder why they didn't use a "barrier strip" type plug like the old PFS "Gold" computer did (see below). A plug like that with just the wires that an end user might need for connecting a boost controller or whatever would have been a little cleaner, but it's still a great idea either way.

 

Howmuch do you think one of those would go for Jim?

 

I have no idea. I don't know who made the computers for PFS or where they sourced those connectors from.

 

Oh alrite, It looks as if it will fit a lot nicer behind the plastic sidepanel.

 

Trust me, finding these connectors is NOT easy. I've looked all over the Internet for OEM electrical connectors . You really need to be in the industry to know good sources for this stuff, and those sources typically aren't easily findable via Google.

He basically copied the Field harness - Field (a Japanese electronics company) used to make harnesses just like this. They were VERY popular with the Supra guys, since the Supras have VERY dense and hard to get to wiring. They stopped making them, and someone stepped up.

I could see a short harness like the old PFS computers, but personally I'd like to have EVERY wire available. I'm always coming up with goofy ideas about wires to tap into for various things . But, that might actually be a good idea for most people.

One thing I wish he would have done that I think he did on some of the other harnesses is color-code the wires that are commonly used for hooking up various electronics. Makes it REALLY nice.

Regardless, it's cool that someone developed a product like this for the FD. We get a bunch of good products for a 10+ year old car .

Mazda no longer carries a "T" harness that plugged in for diagnostics, so this is a nice option.

I had planned to get one, and measure both inj cycles on a high sample rate datalogger, during the 3k oem ecu hesitation. Also have an xs chipped ecu I could check.

 

One issue with the PFS/EFI barrier strip style connector(s) is that it would be harder to intercept one of the connectors versus just tapping it.

I thought about that, but things like boost cut controllers aren't a popular modification with the FD and things like electronic boost controllers and gauges are, so tapping would probably suffice for most electronics.
