wiring and computers

I'm in the process of gathering parts for my 4g64-4g63 swap into a 1988 conquest. What year-s of the eclispe are the best donors for the computer and wiring harness for the engine. Is the something else that could be used that is better? Are the eclispe,talon,laser engine wiring the same? thanks

i have been told that the second gen harness is a 'stand alone unit' but I havent seen that first hand
the first gen is mixed in with the head lights at the front harness

91-94 if you can, but if you get a good deal on a 90 go for it. look for a eprom ecu.

yes that helps alot. Is there any way to tell the difference without taking the cover off the computer? Maybe by the part numbers? My car is a stick so will the auto version or awd computers work also?

best way is to open it up, i donno other wise. some people say eprom has a E under the part number(bottom right hand corner) my 90 eprom doesnt have this but my 91+ does. i think auto would need to be reprogramed because it is for 390cc injectors. there is a differance between awd and fwd(sumin to do with the ecu code and idle) but i believe it negligible.

I've heard recently from a reliable source (We've heard this before) that the non-EPROMs can be converted to EPROM now by some company that dove headlong into DSMs, but I haven't heard anything more than that. It's killed the price of EPROMs though.

I won't go into my views on harnesses, mostly because it's silly.
