wiring up my swap

[junior78]

so i finally got my car about 80% done Tim at api made my harness there is one connection that doesnt lead to anything its a single yellow wire that has a female nipple connector on the end maybe someone can lead me in the right direction

Did Tim not include any install instructions/directions for the loose wires? I would suggest calling Tim since he made the harness.

That goes to the temp sensor, if your engine is not equiped then you can drill and tap the cross over pipe at/near the EGR valve or add it into the hot water plumbing as others have.
gonna try and find a picture for you.

so pretty much i just have to buy an adapter to go in line with one of the rad hoses does it matter if its the upper or lower rad hose?

This is wher I put mine, Just as Honda did on some of there engines. either way will work just make sure to remove crossover pipe if drill/tap method and ground the remote housing if your going that route.

If you have to go this route do the upper hose(it gets hot first).
I would suggest doing a smaller heater line more towards the rear of the engine, again will get hot faster and give moreaccurate temp reaDING. This is why Honda puts it on the crossover pipe because the thermostat is bypassed so there is no delay in the temp reading.

My harness is fromTim as well. I had to call for instructions. He is hard to get a hold of but a good guy either way.

I have some pics of how i did mine in my build thread as well...

adam i also noticed that you have no egr plug on your harness same like mine i guess tim doesnt believe in emissions...
one more question Adam when hooking up your fan do you have to wire up anything or did Tim do the work already

Thanks Adam and Ben

[junior78]

and just for the record if Tim wasnt so hard to get a hold of i wouldnt be asking for help

I cut and spliced about four feet onto my fan wires. tucked them under the upper radiator support with zip ties. When he converts your harness the fan control should stay the same. You should just need some extra wire to extend it out to reach the new fan location.
