anyone offer the service of tearing down a 4g63 harness

Post by mellow65 »

i'm big into the old subaru world and the older legacys share the same idea as the 1st gen dsm, the engine has it's own harness and once you get the rest of the BS out of the way it's a simple plug in everything, add constant power here, and keyed power here, and ground here, and start power here. and vrooom you have a running engine.

i have done a few tear downs for some friends and never charged them, (i think i should have) but there are a few guys around that charge a couple hundred dollars to tear down a harness and label everything.

does anyone do that for the 4g63?

i'm not really afraid of wiring. I just know my subarus so i'm not afraid to do them, but doing a 4g63 would still get me a little flustered.

does anyone have a good ecu pin out for the 1st gen dsms? I have read the write up over and over and over, it makes more sense each time but with out one sitting on my floor to look at it all still french to me.

I've done a few harnesses. Send me a PM if you'd like to have me do one.

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.

DJ, how much different would it be to that Mighty max that I picked up?

It's a carbed 1ton. Sounds less intaled than the 87 starion that I talked to you about before your trip.

And since I don't know that much about wiring, what would the 'dsm-link' replace if I were to go that route later on?

Thanks. E

As silly as I thought you linking the pinout was at first, I soon realized that it is all I needed to figure out what every wire in the harness does.
