99-00 coils are garbage, you're much better off retaining your stock 1.6/1.8 coils if you are doing a BP4W swap. I specifically left 99-00 coil info off the OP for that reason. :)
That was why I asked the question regarding the caps but I didn't install one in the harness (NB1) but will put one in the toolbox just in case or modify the other (NB2) harness |

Ben,
My 92 is the one curly mentioned, would you happen to have a link to an aftermarket tach adapter that would work for such an application? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/msd-8913 |

Yeah I know, I wrote those for 99-00 swapping a VvT in and using 01-05 ignition.

Just FYI the stock 90-97 spark plug wires will fit into the VVT VC if you trim the rubber a little bit. I used a razor blade and slowly removed rubber off the top of the boot until they fit down fine. I have had no problems with them like that.
|
So where should the NA harness ECU ground point go?
|
The bracket for the 94-97 ECU grounds can be transferred over to the 01+ block. IIRC, the OEM 90-93 ECU grounds attach to the back of the intake manifold, and those can just be attached to the 99+ manifold.
|
Where do you typically route the extra wires through the firewall to the ECU?

Alrightly. So Oregonmon has his VVT swapped '90 with a MS3, and GreddyGalant has his MSM swapped '92 now with a MS2PNP.
They're both screaming for tachs. I've Ctrl-f'd every post with the word "tach" in it, and all they seem to say is "wire it to the tach". Is this at the cluster? One of the ignitor wires I capped? Please spoon feed wire color and location. Thanks. |

route 4 (yellow/blue) to 5 (black/white) (connects ECU directly to tachometer at gauge cluster) |
Yup I did that, so just connect the tach output pin on the MS3 to 2I?

you probably need a pullup resistor.
Is this the 1k ohm resistor between -IG and GND in the diagnostic connector? Tried that (both ways) and it didn't work. Black/white and yellow/blue are soldered together, tacho pin is enabled in TS, and still no tach. WTF. |
Pullup resistors are (by definition) between a signal and a voltage. +B to -IG and your tach will work.
|
Well, I thought I had it, but nope. 1k ohm resistor between -IG and B+ now and still nothing. Resistor flipped both ways, multiple resistors tried. Any other clues?
|
Put a direct wire between 2I and your tach input on the instrument cluster. I did it this way and it works (on my 97 1.6 Euro NA there was no wire from 2I to the igniter)
|
Wire your tach signal from the cluster to pin 10 on the DB37.

Thanks for putting this together.
I'm in the process of selling my entire powertrain (engine, trans, MS3, etc etc) and turbo setup to someone with a NA (think its a 95). I'm going to install a LFX. Being that we can use all of those working bits (I'm keeping my radiator/ fans, throttle cable, steering) how much of this will be necessary to perform the swap? I imagine I will be forced to use the GM harness and ECU so I could even swap over the harness. We are thinking we'll simply take everything out of my car and swap it over to his. |
