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.
