View Full Version : Urgent! Wiring DOHC+SOHC

I tried searching but it's kind of unclear.
I have 2 cars, one has a SOHC, the other (parts car) a DOHC.
The SOHC wiring is completely screwy, so I was wondering if there would be a problem with taking all the wiring, including fuse boxes and everything, out of the DOHC car and putting it in the SOHC. This would obviously exclude the engine harness and ECU.

Need to know ASAP, everything's ready to go!
Thanks

All the wiring, excluding engine harness and ECU... wtf is screwy? The chassis stuff? Those are all simple circuits that are easy to troubleshoot.

As an answer to your question though, no that shouldn't be a problem IMO.

Unless th plugs are different than you're set, its real easy to pull the chassi harness so i dont see why you would want to change it to a dohc. You can pull yours and lay it out on the ground and redo whatever is screwy. I had to change mine because the previous owner completely messed up the wiring by leaving tons of wires exposed so i justs went ahead and changed mine.

Stuffs cut, out of place, and completely messed.
Thats why I would rather use the harnesses that I know work.

Its all of a matter of knowing where to plug everything back in. I put my SOHC harness from my parts car and it into my DOHC daily because the previous owner cut the harness up. Wasn't that hard. Taking off interior, now thats hard. Oh and if you're doing a DOHC swap into a SOHC chassis you don't need a DOHC body harness, you just need to know where to splice and cut wires up to make it work.

if you're doing a DOHC swap into a SOHC chassis

Nahh I'm doing a SOHC into a SOHC chassis, just planning to use a DOHC chassis harness
