    What is this connector?

    What does this go to?

    Thanks

    IIRC, That is not used and I cut it off the harness. Maybe Jason or Gobuffs can confirm this.

      Looks like tranny plug. Nice ITB teaser.

        I don't think that's the tranny plug, I think it might be the MAF. The auto tranny plug is down by the O2 sensor.

        If you want to come see mine Erik, give me a shout. Every thing's plugged in/works FWIW. (Not sure if you have a different harness for the Euro...)

          I believe it is a tranny body plug. It can be eliminated from the harness or left loose in the bay.

            Guys, it's not a transmission plug or the MAF plug. Erik's harness is for a RHD S50B32 and the transmission stuff is on a different leg of the harness.

            Erik, I'm pretty sure it's the x20 harness extension. If it is, there should be 3-wires and we don't have any use for them.

            You will also have to crack open those plastic coverings if you want the harness to work. There is no way you will be able to get the ECU plug over to the passenger side in it's existing configuration. You can get everything to fit, but it is difficult.

            I ended up having to rotate the DME 180 degrees in order to use the stock mounting location due to the RHD harness.

              Can't see it here at work...will have to check the pic at home. Unless you can post it as an attachement. Photobucket sucks as most companies block it.

                You might also be able to get THR to make you a longer adapter if you're not crazy about taking that plug apart.

                  The x20/c101 connector is easy. The issue with the RHD euro harness is with the DME connector being too short with the stock plastic coverings in place.

                    Thanks Mike. Yeah, there are three wires, so I guess I'll just cut that connector off then.
