I am wiring one of Tracy's computer to an RX8 engine
and I need four injector connectors. I have given
up on the coil connectors and will make my own.
Does anybody know where I can get RX8 injector connectors?
Paul Lamar
The connectors I used are Nissan units. They worked on my 20B 550cc
injectors as well as the new DEKA-IV injectors I am currently using.
Try a Maxima or 300-ZX. They should be available on ebay.

Thanks for the tip Mark.
I have broken the job down to 5 harnesses. Starter alternator
harness, Sensor harness, Injector harness, Coil harness and PCM
harness. Since it is hard to get wires in more than about 4 or five
colors this makes the job much easier.
Tracy calls out 20 gage wire for most things but it is a bit
hard to work with. I found a roll of 16 gage speaker wire
with four color coded wires in a white vinyl jacket 100 feet
for $30. I'll use this for coil and injector harnesses. For
the low current PCM harness I am using an old centronics
printer cable.
Since I am using the the terminal strip break outs
for the D sub min connectors on the EC2 and PCM It cuts the
job down to one or two days for the whole thing.
It is also a lot neater and easier to trouble shoot.

I realize a lot of you don't have extensive electronic technician
training. Just one more stumbling block to installing a rotary.
Help is on the way. I'll document what I do and eventually it will
make it to the web site.
Here is what the top of the engine looks like with the sensor
harness in place. Note the two tie wraps around the split harness
when a wire is brought out for a sensor.
I found some old cheap RS232 cables with DB 25 D sub min connectors
on both ends. 25 colored wires. These can be found up to 10 feet long. We need
only 11 wires for the PCM to the EC2 harness. I cut off the molded
connectors and threw them away. There are two ways to implement the
EC2 to the PCM harness. You can pick out just the solid colored wires
and pull out and throw the rest away. Some Wires have solid colors
with narrow strips of a different color. In this case since we only need
11 we can pair them up with the solid colors.
