Hey everyone I'm currently do a na to a turbo swap in my 91 and I recieved the motor and everything is in good condition and everything but when I went to plug the harness up to my car it didnt fit so I realized that I recieved a pre89 because the connectors were grey so I was wondering if I buy a 90harness will it still fit the ecu because I know that the pre89 have a higher rev limiter and if anyone a 89+ harness for a turbo auto LMK thanks alot for yall's help

perhaps if there had been SOME punctuation in there i might have been able to understand what was being asked....oh well.

anyway, no, you're not going to get any '89+ harness to fit a <'88 ECU. you could make an adaptor harness, but don't bother...just get yourself an '89+ ECU.

No it's not an 88 it's the early 89 with grey connectors thanks for the help anyways

well, learn to formulate a complete and cohesive sentence and perhaps i could have figured that out.

if you have an early '89, you'll need to source all early '89 parts....'cept ECU.

alright but will a 89+ wiring harness work with the pre89 ecu thats basicaly my main question sorry if it's hard to understand what I'm asking thanks for the info it helps alot and if it will work with the ecu what sensors will I have to change to use with the 89+ harness
