Thanks for the tips, figgie.
I figured the blue tapped sections of the harness were OEM when I opened my GE harness and found the same thing. I'm already finding a few wires that need replaced in the GTE harness that the GE harness doesn't have; so some splicing will be inevitable. That said...
Here's just a quick update of how I'm fixing the melted wires. I'm starting out by replacing the wires that are melted, with wires that I have in my old GE harness.
Here's one of the melted wires out of the GTE harness:
Here's it's replacement wire out of my GE harness:
Here's the old and...
Finally got off work today, and will post up my progress later.
EDIT: I just checked out 935's prices, and the price to rebuild the harness is very reasonable for the amount of work involved. I still don't have that much money available, so I'm still foraging ahead as planned.
If my re-wire...
^^^ LOL, naa. It was so many month ago, that I can't even remember who I got the harness from. (However, I still have his name and address). That's a funny story though.
I traded the GTE harness that came with this engine for his GTE harness; as the one that came with my engine was for a...
If you're just going to be selling the car, I wouldn't bother rebuilding the turbo. (Especially if you have no experience rebuilding turbos, as you could make matters worse by rebuilding it incorrectly).
You may just want to find another turbo to replace the turbo on the engine. If you check...
I'm going to avoid splices where ever possible. I'm going to look at both harnesses very carefully, and any wires that need to be replaced on the GTE harness; I'll see if I can get the entire wire from the GE harness, to put into the GTE harness.
For instance, let's say I find a black wire...
I may give that a try.
Tomorrow I'll have both harnesses laid out side by side, so I'll evaluate the best way to tackle this project. Adding the GTE plugs to the GE harness is something I may end up doing.
Either way, I'll photo document everything.
Believe me guys, I'd get a new harness in a second if I had the extra money. Right now, all my extra money (and then some) is tied up in this swap; and I just can't afford another harness right now. I'd get another used one off someone on here, but I don't know if I'd trust that; as the...
I swapped a GTE into my '86.5, and have been unable to get the new engine to start. After much troubleshooting, it looks like the ECU is not happy with the Igf signal it's getting back from the igniter. I received a (supposedly good) wiring harness from a member on here; but after much...
^^^ Agreed. Since you pretty much rounded off the nut, go after it with vice grips; and then once you got it apart, you can figure out what you need to do to correctly reinstall the new line.
BTW, if the nut that's rounded is the nut on the hard line, then correctly means:
1. Replace...
PB Blaster works wonders for helping break loose "stuck" nuts & bolts.
For those fuel lines, the best thing to use would be 2 flare wrenches. Using anything else, you run the risk of rounding off the nuts on the fuel line fittings. If you don't have either of these (PB Blaster & flare...
My current filter is 22 years old ('86.5) and I still have good fuel flow & pressure.
That said, I ordered some parts from Rockauto.com a few months ago and noticed that they had some Wix fuel filters on sale for $5. After my turbo swap is complete, I plan on changing out the rear end from...
^^^ Agreed. 4.30.
In short, the higher the number is, the faster the car will accelerate. The downsides are, you turn higher RPM's at highway speeds, and your top speed will also be lower.
