Hi,
I currently have an NA S5 and will be swapping my REW into it soon.
I'm thinking of buying the Banzai Racing PFC adapter so that I can use the stock FD3S engine harness.
Does anyone have any experience with it? How does it wire to the dash harness if Im not using the S5 engine harness?

Here's a picture by the way.



The reason I'm looking into this method is because I don't think I'm capable of wiring a Haltech or etc at the moment so Im looking for something as close as "plug an play" as possible.

Any feedback would be awesome!

 

Using the FD engine harness only complicates the swap. Our adapter is NOT designed to be used with the FD harness.
You are better off sticking with the S5 harnesses if you plan to use out S5 kit. Then you would just have to modify the CAS and TPS connectors instead of trying to mix series. If you are wanting to keep the stock twins operating sequentially than you are going to have a bunch of wiring to do to figure out .

For example the boost sensor is on the engine harness on the FC and on the dash side harness on the FD, so installing the FD engine harness eliminates the connection completely.

 

That is made for a fd power fc to plug and play in a fc. I have it and it works great for what its meant to do.

So Id be better off using the FD harness and wiring the ECU so that its only connected to the dash harness to get power?

 

No. The coils are on the dash side harness also. If you plan on using the FD harness, then you need to look at the wiring for the S5 and the Fd and figure out the differences and similarites so you know what you are getting into.

 

Ok, thanks a lot!
