I am in the process of swapping in an IX engine into my 03 VIII GSR. I am not quite sure what connectors some of these are since they are not on the harness for my VIII.

(1. MR IX Harness)






(2. MR IX Harness)




(3. My VIII Harness)




(4. RS IX Harness that came with IX engine) This harness has the maff sensor connector modified. The car I bought the IX engine and harness from was wired with speed density. I traded my MAF sensor for speed density stuff but I don't have anything this plugs into.




(5. What sensor is this? IAT?) I think this is part of the speed density)

 

The last thing you have in your hand is the Cam angle sensor. It looks like in the first pics that it might be the connections in the back of the gage cluster. thats all I got for ya
** edit could also be ecu connections the blue and yellow ones***

 

Cool thanks! Those connections are not the ECU though. I have the IX ecu installed.

 

Someones gotta know this.. Also, I'm not 100% certain that sensor is the crank sensor since that's still on the engine.

 

The only sensor I see in your pics is the cam angle sensor.

 

Oops I thought he said crank angle

 

Does the ecu/engine harness connect to the back of the cluster?

 

bump!

 

Hi, pic 2 is the oil control valve connector.

 

That connector is inside the cabin.. Are you sure? Where is the Oil Control Valve connector normally located?

 

Hi, if it's in the cabin, then it's my mistake, so apologies for that, it looks very similar.

The oil control valve is on the left hand rear of the engine as you look at it from the front, at the top of the head, just below cam cover level.

 

I'm guessing pic one might be acd connectors? Is there anything an IX mr has inside the cabin that my 03 gsr doesn't besides the acd stuff (gauge cluster, switch and acd computer ) I'm assuming there is a seperate module for acd?

 

Bump for this. I have the same question about the 2 yellow and the 1 blue connectors that come off the engine harness just inside the passenger floorboard. I'm guessing OP didnt have to connect these to anything for the car to run and lost no functionality?

 

Anyone ever figure out where the yellow connectors went to?

 

Post some pictures and I can help you out. The pictures from the original post are no longer there
