Dissected an unnamed sellers 24v swap wiring adapter

[Adrian_Visser]

I don't get it what is so hard about making your own hardwired harness?

1) Read the etm for the e30 you are swapping to starting at the power distribution section and take notes of every time you see the c101 connector and which pin number, where the wire goes to at both ends and its color. write it down on a spreadsheet type chart.

2) Read the etm for the engine harness you are using and do the above.

3) Make a comparison chart for the x20-c101

4) Use a multimeter set to continuity beep or a test light to verify your pinout charts i.e. x6000 pin x goes to pin x on x connector, check it with meter meter beeps you were right.

It is seriously that easy people. I would say I had six hours into my harness first time around and that includes hard wiring the plug with new pins, no butt splices!

I completely re-did my 'ready to go harness adapter' after it burnt up as a result of some lazy/incorrect wiring.

I've had to re-do a plug N play harness adapter for a friend from a certain person on the board as well.

if you are doing everything else in the swap yourself.....take the time to learn how to do the adapter yourself. Then once its all running properly, wire in a C101 connector on the engine harness and pat yourself on the back. MUCH better looking that way.

I agree, but not everyone has the ability to do that sort of stuff. It's a bit like telling somebody to sit down with a book and learn chinese. it's just so darn easy!

^ That, some people that do try it themselves manage to burn their cars to the ground and thats why they buy adapters to get around that possibility. Im only saying that can still happen with an adapter!

If somebody could help me out really quick, that would be awesome. I bought a wiring adapter from an "unnamed seller" and I am trying to put it in this morning. I have 2 loose wires, one Blue/Yellow and one Yellow. Does anybody have any guesses as to what these might be with the limited info I have given? I think one is for the gauge cluster??? If you have any questions that would help you answer the question, just ask.

Prob for the oil level sensor, just a random guess.

[328ijunkie]

Pictures would help btw

3 prong sensor, unless I guess you choose a different ground for it

Everyone knows who made it!
He sold a bunch on here, was considered the guy to get them from. If you search you will find his threads!
I am not 100% certain on his user name, so not gonna throw it out there.

Needless to say he isn't in the community any linfer.
