EJ22T wiring harness on an N/A ej22

timbo · Post by **timbo** » Wed Mar 25, 2009 8:08 am

I'm swapping out the (1991)EJ22T in my 1988 VW Van for an (1991)N/A EJ22 .
From what I understand the harness will work except for having to switch around the cam and crank sensor wiring and obviously not using the turbo related components and wires off the ECU for those.

Just want to make sure I'm on the right track.

Any suggestions or comments?

thanks in advance

The coolant temp sensor connections will be on the opposite side of the block.

Aren't the main connectors different shapes?

Yes the main engine harness connectors will be different. All you need to do is lengthen the coolant temp sensor wires.

And also, the cam and crank sensors are not connected through the engine harness. They are separate, along with the knock sensor.

I got the conversion up and running yesterday. Only things I had to do to use the N/A engine was:

---swap the wiring for both the cam sensor and crank sensor
---use the N/A MAF
---use the N/A ECU
---plug the turbo harness into the N/A engine harness

Everything else was fine. The engine plugs were the same.
I re-used the main Turbo harness connected to the N/A engine harness.I kept all the wiring for the turbo sensors etc in the loom but obviously they aren't hooked up.

Bringing it to my Subie guy with the dealer scan set-up and off to the emmission test (Aircare here in BC)

FYI: THE EJ22t is now up for sale. Is has a bottom end knock but other wise is basically complete, except for the missing cam,crank, and knock sensors.
