Default 24x Conversion

Ordered a DIY kit for my car, and just curious how bad its gonna be.

Car is a 95, so not sure if that makes things more difficult?

Mine is a 94 and mine prob took about that time too. Not hard at all and be sure to do a search for each of our build threads for some very helpul info when building the harness. Good luck.

Other than the PCM re pin, for the pre OBD2 cars, is there any other wiring work needed?

MAF would definitely be kept in a 24x conversion, youd be taking a step backwards if you didnt.

Will be running a 80e so I have to rewire that anyways.

I think I am keeping it wired up, but may not run it.

There is very minimal rewiring to be done. Everything is just repinning other then your power and ground wires for your coilpacks. You need to tie the pink coil wires into the thickest gauge off one of the c1xx connectors that connects up to the stock coil location. You just need to trace the wire down to get to the thick gauge wire. The ground coil wires i just grounded off to the drivers side head with the rest of the other grounds. If your looking to clean it up then you can re wire them to run down to the back of the block. Thats really about it. Just make sure to check out lethalbirds and my build threads as there a couple wires that are not mentioned in the swap if they are kept or not as they are all outlined in those threads if they can stay or be deleted and where they go.
