no, the wiring harness from the non turbo cars will not work with the turbo motor. The ECU side is completely different and the turbo and non turbo motors dont share very many parts other than some of the sensors.

If you wanna be on the safe side then grab EVERYTHING in the engine compartment, including wiring that is in someway related to the engine. That will ensure you get everything. It's much easier if you have an entire turbo car to pick from. You'll also want to grab the fuel pump modulator from inside the cabin (though this can be bypassed, as I did it). And dont forget to grab the EFI relay and wiring from over behind the battery as well as the fuse links/box.

I was saying no to his question, not what you said Ice

I thought he was swapping in an L28ET but was also asking if the NA harness was compatible I guess we'll have to let him clear that up.

There's about 4.2 billion web pages (ok... a lil over exagerated) that talk about doing the L28ET swap. It's not hard, I've done it. It's just time consuming.

The guys on hybridz have done tons of write ups on the swap.... (Not trying to be an ***, just don't feel like typing a book that someone has already written).

That one looks like a bit more work than the one I just got. But good luck with that.

Bondo is usually a bad sign. Especially raw bondo. But have fun with your project.
