Newbie Questions

Hi Everyone,

I'm an old hand with piston engines, but this is my first rotary car. I have a Fiber Fab late model Avenger GT12 on a VW pan. I picked up a Kennedy adapter to mate a '91 JDM RX-7 13B Turbo to the WV tranny. I purchased a compatiable ECU and engine wiring harness. My immediate problem is finding help in connecting the wiring harness to the ECU and the engine. I also need to know how to connect the ECU to the 12 volt electrical system. Can anyone steer me to a source(s) of this information?

Thanks,
daverhea

You'll find the factory service manual in the FAQ sticky at the top of this forum. It includes electrical diagrams. Also, you will want a Haynes manual as it has some simplified diagrams that are a bit easier for casual use.

Mr. Cake is correct, I have a factory manual (~$90) and it helped immensely when my wiring harness melted. Watch your year group though, it will get you. Incidentally, check out Aaron Cake's webpage for electrical questions- great stuff (thanks for that!).
