I ended up having to pull the engine from my Type-S and I'm swapping in a J35A8 from an RL. I had the heads rebuilt (12 bent valves) and have swapped over the RL cams. The new clutch/flywheel should arrive tomorrow.

I am going to use the TL harness, as I'm sure that the RL is different. But there are some unknown, random wires sprouting out of BOTH harnesses in the same spot. Any ideas as to what they might be?

 

Hello,

Maybe #15 in diagram.

 

Thanks. I'll check it out

 

The car is a 6MT. The wires on the RL harness are different. The TL-S harness has four wires, but the RL harness has only one or two. I'll look at the colors in the morning. Thanks

 

So the TL-S harness has four wires; they look like there are two black and two that are brown/yellow, but it's hard to tell. The RL harness has only one wire, and it's blue.

 

Well, I got the engine and trans (with new clutch and flywheel, for good measure) back in the car, and it seems to run fine. Everything seems to work fine. No idea what those wires are supposed to do. If anyone with a 6MT Type-S feels like peeking under the hood and looking just behind the transmission to see where these wires on their car go, that would be very helpful.
