I am still working on my swap wiring, can anybody identify what this black boxe is and also what these wires go to. They were cut before I bought the car and idk what they are. I don't have to much left in the swap besides these wires and figuring what hoses are needed
-
Anybody have anything to say about this subject?
-
I have been doin a lot of research and I am trying to get this rats nest of wiring that the previous owner left behind. But my question is about the fuse box side of the harness on the passengers side, is there and modifications that is needed to be done to the harness (82-83) to make it all work besides the Alternator voltage relay? I have done the FI and ignition side of the harness for the most part already.

After doing more research about the 82 wiring I found out that my connectors have already been wired for the 82 swap.thanks for the help
-
Thanks for the help, I was hoping that is was. Any idea what all the split wires could be for? I remember reading about the ignition connector having the 1 yellow wire going to the engine bay like the picture I posted

Here are some pictures of my harness, the previous owner did some shity work to it but idk what he tried to do, and hopefully yall can help

I just picked up a ECU from the junk yard and It was said to be a 82 - 83 280zx turbo ECU. But I'm not sure how to find out if it is or not. so if you have any info on how to make sure it's the right you see you please help me out also

I have a 1977 280 Z with a L28ET engine in it but my problem is I don't know what year wiring harness is attached to it ( or halfway attached to it). what are some identifier that I can look for to figure out what year harness is I have?
I can post pics later today after work if anyone would like to see it

Who is located in the hampton roads Virginia area that knows know to make a wiring harness from scratch and wants to help me out? I'm probably going to go the VEMS or Haltech route. Thanks
-
I am going to completely make my own wiring harness for the l28et, and get the one from DIYautotune.com . I have never made a harness before, but i have a lot of experience in crimping different types of connectors, soldering, and stuff. I basically wanted to see what kind of advice everyone has out their or know of any great writ ups for this type of job. All i can find are people using their old harnesses for their ECU's. Also i will be going with Haltech for a standalone ECU.
-
Thanks for the help guys, do y'all have any places that has good wire harnesses to run on my car? I found that MS had some for sell that didn't look to bad. Or I might just find a website and terminate my own connectors and have all the right sheilding
-
thanks for all the info, i already have a throttle body spacer from Arizona Z and now looking in some local junk yards for the 240 TB. Haltech so far from all the research is looking really good, just a little more expensive depending on if i get the 500 series or the 1000 series. not too many write ups on the haltech compared to MS.
-
ha i was thinking that, and my job deals with wiring, crimping and shielding anyways so i think it will be worth it. and it will also give me the peace of mind that i know what goes where. I havent researched Haltech yet, only MS, Vems, and a couple other random companies.. I want to keep it under 1k with a standalone ecu since the stock one is no where to be found. I appreciate all the help, now i just need to find some missing sensors that the other guy lost and start over. ( AFM, TPS, Throttle body)
-
yea,i was reading write up about the whole 36-1 and it seemed pretty straight forward. the guy who started wiring and taping things on the old harness made everything go everywhere and it just is a rats nest. What is everyones opinion on getting another turbo harness or getting something like the MS wire harness and do it all from scratch?
-
I just got the car Simone whose dad just passed and the engine was swapped but not wired and I am just trying to fix his mess. What engine harness are you using, the turbo or something else? And year
-
What year is the L28ET from? I had an '81 and we wound up not being able to use the optical crank angle sensor.
This has about 90% of what you need to know about VEMS:

For about $1k you could be running VEMS or MS on your L28ET, if you're willing to wire it yourself. If you want ultimate flexibility, those are your best bets. I could take my VEMS box out of my car, plug it into my motorcycle and ride to the marina, plug it into my boat, go fishing for the day, then plug it into a halibut and ride that home.
That last part was an exaggeration, and I don't own a boat or a motorcycle.
its from an 81 also,and it is swapped into a 77 280z.

If money WERE an object, I'd go with VEMS. I have done a couple VEMS setups and a couple Megasquirt setups in the past (one of each in cars that are my own) and have been much happier with VEMS in terms of quality and ease of use.
IIRC, the price difference between VEMS and MS at this point is negligible if you go for similar features between the two, but the difference is the VEMS base model is more expensive and more fully featured than is MS. They are so similar that BG (the folks who built MS) sued VEMS, and the MS forums automatically filter out the word "VEMS" from any post and replace it with "Another EMS Product" or something. Potential copyright infringement notwithstanding, VEMS is building a higher quality product IMO.
At any rate, both MS and VEMS are amazing units to work with once you get them up and running, and depending on how much you want to do with them later, you'll enjoy either of them immensely. Having wired the stuff up yourself, you will have a deeper understanding of how the the system actually works and (if you have any sort of brain in your head) that should make you more comfortable when tuning.
Yea i have read a little bit about MS but never heard of VEMS. now since i done have a stock ECU at all would either one of those take place of the stock ecu and run it like it suppose too?

I recently purchased a 77 280 that already had a L28et dropped in it already but not wired up. Also it is missing the ecu. I have read through tons of forums about different wiring and stuff, but those are from the stock ecu's. My question is, what is the best ECU to get from scratch since i am in the market for buying one anyways? I am planning on upgrading the engine internals and turbo, so i want a ecu that isn's to crazy to get working with my upgrades.
82-83 l28et swap into 77 280z questions?

Does anyone have an idea of what they connect to? Or if they are needed?
