Todd,

That helps! Did not believe it was in the front but saw the battery and wondered.

Thought you were on the way to EGKK or EGLL? Ahhh... the joy of plotting charts at 0200 at Loach!

Thx,

Joe

Joe

Since I have no idea what EGKK or EGLL is I believe you may have me confused with someone else

Todd

Todd,

Was talking with another gent yesterday who was helping me with the wiring harness and who is flying to London Gatwick or Heathrow today. Sorry and thought you were the same person.

Joe

Hey Joe:

The wires from your original 3.2 harness that go forward go to the rear of the tach (3 or 4 small wires with pins on the end.) and the alarm. The large black with the eye on the end goes to the Battery +. Then there is a 2 wire harness (Black & Green/red) that feed the coil and fuel pump respectively.

These wires go to the DME with the exeption of the coil wire that goes directly to the coil. I do not believe that you can or will use any of the wires in the original 3.2 harness.

Good luck

Marc,

Thanks and I was wondering what the forward wires were for. Sounds like I can pull all of it out and give it to the gent who is getting my 3.2!

Good info!

Joe

Todd & Marc those posts should go in the hall of fame for clearing up some issues!! Nicely done! I confess that my eyes roll back in my head when I look at boxes of Porsche wiring harnesses amd associated wiring diagrams. And I have built the wiring harnesses for 140' commercial vessels w/o any issue(at least LLoyds, the owner and the USCG have been happy)


Alan here is a pic of some SSIs that I used on my 964 transplant for a while

The tab at B is not used at all and some work with a heavy hammer at the outer radius of the bends (area A) was all that was necessary. I did use an extra 3/8" flange to move the muffler back by that amount.

The 964 stock has long studs so yopu will want a thick flange set of SSI or if using thin flange use shorter studs.

Bill,

Which muffler did you use with the SSI's? Have heard that there is a clearance problem with the "bananna" muffler but would like to retain this one as the sound is nice yet not too loud.

Agree with you about the info on wiring. Really makes a difference! Being able to get advise from Pete, Todd and Marc really helps walk you through the process. Ingo's website as well as Rob Fix and their wiring diagrams are a big help. Would be nice to get all of this on one site and able to use as a reference for conversions. May post all this on my site when I get done!

Joe

Joseka,

I only saw this thread this morning in Tokyo. Hope you have everything figured out. If not feel free to shoot me an Email or PM.

I was also wondering about the response from Bill where he mentioned the diagnostics port. Since I am experimenting a lot with those things I was wondering if you are planning to use that original cut piece of 964 harness.

While it is not needed for the conversion I should have that big round plug I am after. I want to try and see if I can hook up a Porsche motor tester to the swapped engine.

Let me know if I could get the leftovers from the 964 harness after you are done with your swap.

Thanks,
Ingo

Ingo,

Just emptied my PM box after I saw that your PM was bounced. Thanks for trying.

At this time I am not planning on using the harness and if I do not use it will let you know. Right now I just want to get the car running and then will pick up the pieces.

Will stay in touch and your website really was a big help as well!

Joe
