nolander001 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Im working on swaping a l28 into my 280z and im in need of a wiring harness and ecu. I just want to get it running but im not having the best luck finding a good wiring harness around my area. So my question is is there anywhere online that sells the wiring harness/ecu i would need? Also in the future i want to start making power with this engine and im thinking i will need an aftermarket ecu (around 300 hp). should i just bite the bullet and get an aftermarket ecu? and would i be able to use the same wiring harness?

bornagain280 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 We just pulled a l28 out of my buddies 280z. The previous owner labeled almost every wire on it and did a very good job with it. Complete with ECU. He told me that he wants to sell the motor or part it out.... let me know if youre interested. thanks Chase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornagain280 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 EFI and ECU that is, for sale. I'll get you some pics if you're interested in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 You can also talk to fricfrack on here he builds megasquirt ecu and custom harnesses for a rather good price. Another option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolander001 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 thanks for the replies guys, next question and I've been kinda up in the air about this, will I really have the need to upgrade my ecu for ~275-300hp? I've been looking at megasquirts stuff and im not a 100% yet on everything I would need to get that system into my car. Im thinking to start and just get the car up i might just go with a stock ecu and harness so its a little more "plug and play". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewZed Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 If you're looking for a simple plug-n-play harness you probably won;'t find one. You'll have to some digging, at least, to figure out what certain wires do, and some modifying. If you're just looking for a way to more power this thread is good - http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/50208-the-ultimate-l28et-guidewhat-you-need-for-350whp/ The stock harness swap has it's own problems, there are threads out there about ET swaps. FricFrac was recently offering a harness for Megasquirt. It's the most popular customizable EFI system, on this site. People seem to like his work. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/120766-custom-efi-wiring-harnesses-and-pre-configured-mega-squirt-systems/?do=findComment&comment=1130616 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pac_Man Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Stock EFI won't give you 300hp. You'd be lucky to get close to 250 with a stock setup. There is a guy working on a plug n play ecu which will allow more hp than stock and could probably get you to that 300hp goal but as always it has been delayed and currently in a limbo of sorts:http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/48583-hellfire-status-release-date-annouced/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
