Default Ordering my swap harness Q's

Hey guys, I am filling out the form for Dr. Tweak and are there any things I need to tell them when doing my swap? I wanna relocate the fusebox for a cleaner look. If anybody has done this, how much longer do I tell him to extend it. Also if I am doing a V160 and I have an automatic now. Next I have a digital cluster that is already configured to work with this combo. Does this effect the way the engine harness is made too? Thanks!

I would do it one step at the time ..why? because you will hate your life trying to figure out what's not working or what's missing in case you do all those mods at once.

It will make your like easier when you need to go back and check something. do it one stepp at a time and you will be fine.

Thanks man! Sending out my harness and the donor harness tomorrow. They said after I recieve the new harness I can measure the length I need to relocate stuff. Then send them back the harness and they will make adjustments. I am going from automatic to V160. Does this effect what harness I am getting?

Auto to manual is no big deal for him just tell him you are going from auto to manual and he will take care of that for you.

Hey quick, thanks for your help. How bout this? The person I bought th car from got me the motor from a jzz31 and v160. He also configured a digital cluster also for this setup. How he did it, I have no idea. All I know he is getting it patented as we speak and I am the only who will have one besides him He said to let dr. Tweak know I am using a jdm fuel pump for the digital cluster. Do u understand the method to this madness? Will Dr.Tweak know what I'm talking about cuz I don't...lol!

Yes if you wanna use a soarer digital cluster you will need the soarer sending unit which is part of the fuel pump. so you fuel gauge will work.

the bad thing is sometimes the cluster doesn't lite up completely some part will some won't. I lots of people were thinking about doing that setup like 4years ago.
There was guy that did the conversion and he was telling us the good and the bad things about the conversion.

If you want to do the harness yourself you can. The research is the worst part about it. Quick and Cam are the go to guys on here for questions and immediate answers. Good luck on your stuff man
