Dumbfounded T2 s4
Ok well I am drawing a blank I got a rx7 awhile back an its been sitting awhile and the guy before me had cut the a section off the engine harness got a new one then tried to install it having issues finding out what goes where its the section from the battery to alternator then to the starter and by the battery there are 2 wires figured they were grounds but nope put a battery in and tryed to put it to the frame sparks flew ha so no grounding do they go to the ignitor packs?

the battery harness has a small black wire that will go to the Engine bay fuse box.If you are getting sparks to ground then that tells you it is Positive,so hook it up as a positive,to the nearest point of the fuse block at the front of the car.
The leading coils only have a small 2 wire connector on the body harness to feed it,so no other wires from the battery harness are involved with the coils.

use a ohm meter and touch the positive battery post and look for continuity on those wires.
The positive from the battery splits to the alternator and also to the fuse block.
Note: the positive is the one that does NOT have the yellow stripe.It is plain black.

Well I put the wires on and we got power some of the interior lights and headlights tail lights & hazards so I fix my main issue with just getting power from the battery to the car but now I need to find out what wires are not connected right because there's no power to windows sunroof turn signals and just basically ignition and basic dash lights and stuff like that

there is a single wire that goes to the solenoid on the starter and it has a female spade connector on it,
Either green or blue wire.( forget now).
That wire gives 12 volts to the solenoid when keyed to start so it can engage the starter,
NO wire connected?.then no Signal from switch to starter..no start.

If I am right the coil connector is under the 2 plasti-covered ribbed wires that you show in the pic.
2 wire white connector...harness connector for leading coil.
Look at the coil itself it will tell you.
Kind of hard for me to exactly tell you as I have done so many mods I got rid of the stock coils long time ago.

No,there is not.The coils are the same between turbo and NA.
As I mentioned it "looks like" the connector.I may be wrong as your engine bay is not exactly complete.
You shoould be able to get wiring diagrams off of Foxed.ca
Most connectors are specific so they will show you what they look like and how they are wired.(colors)
