r1 w/ jdm motor swap something doesnt add up
i have a 93 r1 model with a jdm motor new us wiring harness and ecu... everything is together and most of the clip fits except for some. i was told it goes into the little black box and that i need to replace it for a later model solenoid rack with solenoids but so far no one has had any luck tracking any thing down. is there something else missing?

I think you have mis read my previous post on your other thread.
Please read carefully and let it sink in. You have a late JDM model engine, so you need to replace your rats nest, your coil packs, emissions plate and prob a few other things too. You must obtain these from an earlier model engine!!
You should have just gone and bought a complete blown engine rather than spending $1200 on a new harness. That way you would have everything you need. and a spare parts engine, all for less than what your new harness cost you.
P.S. there was no need to start a new thread on this one, you should have kept the old one going.

yes well if i had a million dollars i would go through the whole car with a 20b but i dont have that kinda money and i need the car running asap. and i already pulled all the emissions off what was left of the stock motor.. and if all i need are those solenoids then thats what im going to do... not trying to be rude i just need this thing running

Ok ok... So you have a later model JDM motor, S6 US spec harness. Do you have the S6 motor that was in the vehicle? Couldn't you just swap the S6 manifolds sensors solenoids and all the stuff that was onto the S6 motor onto the S7 or S8 whichever you have so you could use your current harness?

From what I gather from his two threads, he bought a roller with no engine (and possibly no transmission). He purchased a used JDM driveline which came from a later model RX7. However, he purchased a *new* US harness for the whole project.So basically, he needs US components to change out the latter year JDM components for his very new but very expensive US harness.
