Dear YMMV .. for a first time wiring harness job ...sure that would take some actual thinking and studying wiring diagrams .. but it's not that hardreally. I can't really grasp why but sometimes it seems that some people who work on their own cars ... 'believe' that they are just lost when it comes to anything electrical. Most DC electrical circuits are not any more complicated than doing say ..a complete and thorough brake job or a timing belt. The wiring harness for a subaru conversion.is not much different than hooking up an extensive sound system ...outputs and inputs, this connnects to that, etc. and ....man ...I lsure ike those subaru EFI systems ! .. once dialed in and working right ....they just stay that way. And they run real strongly. got lots goin' for ya too ..sequential injection. no distributor, knock sensor, electronic idle rpm control .. lots of fine things. Besides .. it's vastly better to do your own wiring harness because .. two big advantages ..you know it's done right and carefully ( if you do good work ) and you're far more equipped to deal with problems , should any occur. scott On 2/14/2013 7:15 PM, Max Wellhouse wrote: > I haven't ruled out using the Haltech E6S on the Subie conversion when > it takes place.
