please help ! tbi to tpi ! help please !

ok here is my problem. I have a 92 rs with tbi/m5, everything is mostly stock, all I've added is headers and pro 5.0 shifter. I just bought a tpi set up complete heads, lt1 cam , full tpi system wiring harness, and computer. it is also from a 5 speed car and it is also a 92. I cut all the wires near the drivers side because I could not take that connection out. I've seen that part referred to as a bulkhead? will the tpi harness splice into those ?

Re: please help ! tbi to tpi ! help please !

are you asking about c100 ? It's not wise to do splice connections especially in a area that is exposed to moisture.

looks like if that is the only harness you have solder and shrink tube is the answer for you.

This is not a specific to tbi or tpi as you can see in the pinout. you can hit up a junk yard or ask the guys who are parting out cars in the classifieds for this section of the harness.

Re: please help ! tbi to tpi ! help please !

so my current engine harness connector needs to be changed? I cannot cut it the same way as the tpi harness?(just to be clear, these wires are located kinda close to the fuel pump relay s)
