96 NA8. I've read some through the forums and I'd like to go with a MS3x variant due to the updated hardware. I am open to building my own through diyautotune and using the truboKitty guide, but I haven't been able to find the automotive connector for the harness in stock.

Manufacturer part number for the connector found in the truboKitty guide:
178764-1

Would prefer to make my own, but if I can find the right one it would be much simpler/quicker to buy one already put together.

 

This? https://www.bmotorsports.com/shop/pr...oducts_id/3454
A little cheaper here: https://www.alliedelec.com/product/t...64-1/70284347/

 

Thanks for the reply huesmann.

I looked around and remember seeing those websites. However, they are all out of stock on alliedelec (lead time is 3 months) and bmotorsports price was what shy'd me away from them.

 

https://www.diyautotune.com/product/...ndenso-76-pin/ Or build the DIY autotune break out box, and you can use the remaining port to run your options from it?

 

What is the benefit using the DIYBOB over the connector?

 

If you can't afford the Ballenger ask, maybe crib the ECU out of a car with the same connector and just cut it out off the circuit board?
