My three Sc's...
A little backstory...
Three years ago I went with my friend to a drift event. About a month later I purchased my first Sc300, 92 5 speed. I decided I was going to do a 1jz swap on it. After I realized how much time and money I was going to have to put into it to make it a nice drift car that could potentially be destroyed, I decided to swap a ka trans into an Sc400. A couple months later I bought a 95 Sc400 to start with that project. I finished that the next spring and drove some events. I came upon another 95 Sc400 that wasn't running and picked that up for super cheap, and put in a different ecu and currently use that as my winter car. This past winter I bought a house and I was finally able to move my 300 along with the engine swap to my own garage, so I would actually have the motivation to work on it. I'm getting close to finally dropping the motor into the car!

Alright so back to the Sc300...So far I've replaced the water pump, timing belt, cams (bc 264's), oil pump, timing tensioner and pulley, along with a bunch of other seals and gaskets. I bought the driftmotion 1jz without the turbo, turbo kit, but the manifold fitment was absolutely horrible so I bought a suprastore 1jz manifold and could not be happier with how it fits. The turbo is a BW S360. I had -10an bungs welded onto my valve covers and had them powdercoated white pearl, which turned out to be pretty close to the cars actual color. Also picked up some mkiv injectors along with the resistor box (still don't understand how to wire them, ha), and an afc neo. This is how it sits currently.

So the motor I got was actual from an mk3 as the shifter was not extended. Luckily one of my friends bought a 1jz sc300 off of Craigslist to swap into his own mk3. When we swapped transmissions I found out that my motor had an OS Giken twin disc clutch with the alteration kit on it, so I was pretty excited about that. I bought an extended harness from someone off the forums here over a year ago and just got around to trying to fit it on. First picture is a knock sensor I believe? Anyways the new harness doesn't have a plug that goes to it. The second picture is the plug that would logically go there. The third picture is the plug off the original harness that I believe connected to it. The fourth picture is from the original harness as well that went to the ac, and I do not have a plug for that as well on the new harness. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Here is how you wire in the resistor box and 550's: See post 10 for diagram

Hey guys im the young man mentioned above by Studiogeek
the 3 cars look awesome i wish i had a second one
if you could explain your clutch pedal set up that would be great
i assume its just a s14 pedal and master cylinder bolted in?
sounds like you just have to drill new holes and they fit perfectly?

You might have to give him a call. The only thing my kit didn't come with was the driveshaft and flywheel bolts. The kit would be the same as any s13 or s14 kit minus the motor mounts and driveshaft.
