Okay, as if blowing up my turbo was not a big enough problem, i have run into another one. Because decided to do it the right way and get a chipped up ECU, that meant my Apex-i VAFC had to go. Here is the problem: When the unit was installed, it was crimped very close to the actual plug, but now that i had to cut it out, there is no wire left to crimp the origional wires back together!! The harness is F**KED!!! Please help, i just want to set the car on fire at this point. Please just give me an idea what to do in the way or repair, or maybe someone out there has the ECU harness (95 SOHC VTEC) they would like to get rid of. Im just at a loss people. Ive spent so much money trying to repair this thing, and the only harness i have found is 1 on ebay, but he wants $150 for it. Just please give me options or suggestions.

 

There not even enough that you could solder it? If there's a stub down in there, then just strip a wire, stick it in there, and solder them.

 

I dont think there is even enough left to get the wire stripper in there to expose it

 

...there sure is.

 

Ok, so fixable=good news. Now, for the second part. Is this as simple as unplugging the engine harness plugs and feeding through the firewall to get it out, OR does the ECU harness have branches into things under the dash?? THis might be a stupid question, but there is no way in hell im going to unplug the engine side only to find out i have to rip the dash apart to unplug the rest of the s**t. Let me know.

 

Why are you taking it out?

 

Pwnedu offered to fix it for me, i just need to know that i can unhook it from the engine harness, pull it through the fire wall, and bam, thats it. Just please let me know if it plugs into ANYTHING besides the engine bay.

 

Honestly, I don't know.. I've never messed with it to that extent before.
