Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,

I am looking for your help I have done Rx8 VQ30de swap I got the engine from 1997 Nissan Maxima but I got an issue with wiring diagram, there is a difference between the main ECM socket on my harness there two rows, but on the all diagrams that I found on the internet there are three rows.

 

Post pictures of harness and ecu numbers.

 

Was your donor car an automatic? That looks like the TCU/TCM connector.

 

Must see pictures of VQ30de in a Mazda Rx8. I've never seen someone do that...

 

Not sure why anyone would? That's like putting a old Briggs and Stratton in a new Corvette.

 

Crank triple forged and shot peened. I wonder why .... it has a formula car piston speed,and i regulary put my stock VQ30DEK up around 8000rpm. Go back and read all the awards,and accolades .

 

Well, cool. Sounds like a lotta work.

 

Thats the transmission control module connector not the ecm (engine control module) connector which is gray in color and much longer.

 

The photo of the blue connector is not a 4th gen ECU or TCM connector. It is for the 3rd gen North American Maxima ECU.

Is the Maxima you have a North American Maxima or on made for another part of the world?


ECU connector pin out for 3rd gen VE and VG engines.

How about actual torque?
