mini me wiring

[sevenhillsbilly]

im one of the hundreds of people doing a mini me swap and was wondering is there any other way of wiring the vtec into the ecu besides getting a jumper harness from my a6 block to my z6 head?

 

[sevenhillsbilly]

and can you use the plug wires on the z6 head from my a6 head?

 

[sevenhillsbilly]

well i am goin to get a tune after i hook it up and the p28 is the z6 ecu right ?

 

[sevenhillsbilly]

so if i swap ecus it shoudl be ok

 

[sevenhillsbilly]

ok and i would also need the z6 harness right or can i use my a6 harness with the jumper at the ecu?

I'm not sure I saw what year car you are doing your swap in. If it is 91 or before it is OBD0 and you will need an OBD0-OBD1 conversion harness. Check out www.rywire.com They will be able to help you out in getting your harness. Best of luck to you my friend.

what exactly would i have to do ? im a newb to the mini me i get the concept but the wiring is the hard part for me

 

[sevenhillsbilly]

ok so i need a p28 the jumper and that would be it?

 

[sevenhillsbilly]

i have a prob with the dizzy goin into the z6 head it wont go all the way in. it seems to go in on the bottom of the hole but not the top do i just force it in or is there something i can do?

 

[sevenhillsbilly]

everything is lined up but for some reason the it goes inthe bottom of the hole better than the top i was goin to try and use a clamp to push it in but it wont go in right do you think it would be better just to go get the dizzy for the head

 

[efhondakid]

It should go right in, but you should get a Z6 dizzy.

 

[sevenhillsbilly]

another question would it be better if i bought a z6 harness or just keep the a6 harness and use a jumper for the head?

 

[sevenhillsbilly]

so i need an obd0 to obd1 jumber, a z6 dizzy, a p28 ecu, and my original a6 harness to make this swap work correctly?
