Numbchux Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 you guys that did it....did you pull the dash out of the EA car during the install? or can it be done reasonably just from the driver side with the gauges and stuff removed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballitch Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 are you swapping just the motor? or the tranny too? ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 just the motor, it'll be mated to an RX tranny.....but I don't know how it would make a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballitch Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 no.....no need for that as suberdave said, youre, going to strip the harness down to like only 40-50 wires anyway. maybe your dad thought you had to "transplant" harnesses or something. ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberoo Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 whats the best way to get the harness out of donor car?I would be at pull and save in spokane,wa.2 hours from where I live so Id rather not have to make numerous trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86ruguy Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 both front fenders on the legacy need to come off, the entire dash, including the heater box and all needs to come out. when i did my swap i went to PAP here in tacoma and it took me about 2 hours to get the entire harness out in one peice....also make sure that you get the ignition relay and the fuel pump relay that should be under the drivers side dash in the donor car.

The fuse box under the hood will need to be dissasembled, including removing all the relays (It's a tight fit through the hole in the inner fender), but save 'em. The fuse box under the dash won't fit out the hole, so the entire under-hood harness will need to be threaded into the interior. when we did it, we left only unplugged what we had to, left all relays on the harness (eve headlights ones, etc.). just to make things a bit easier. and it seems to have helped at this stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I would discourage you from trusting Pull N Save as a good source for a harness.. it seems that every Legacy there has the coil pack yanked, and the ignitor yanked WITH THE HARNESS CUT because whoever's getting all of those is too lazy to unplug the ignitor... other components are clipped off as well. whats the best way to get the harness out of donor car?I would be at pull and save in spokane,wa.2 hours from where I live so Id rather not have to make numerous trips.

Yep, something to watch out for. our local junkyard lists the cars when they come in on their website. so I can watch, and get it all from the same car, without it getting manhandled first.
