    Firstly, yor a legend, CA is a true man engine.

    You only need to connect 4 wires to make it run.

    These are on the F10 and F8 plug, the big brown and grey one. I cant be arsed to use photo bucket but google S13 F10 connector you will see the one

    F10 connector the brown one

    brown wire = 10amp fused power to lambda sensor

    black/pink = fuel pump switching earth to ECU ( connect to ECU at pin 18 i think)


    F8 the grey plug

    big red wire: needs power from the battery. I think its top right as you look at it

    black and red wire: 12v feed for the ignition coils, i think it's bottom left

    That's it, and it will run like a badass.

    Did you buy this as a complete package from a running car or just parts?.
    if it is from parts you do have a drop resistor fitted don't you? it's a silver box about the size of a mars bar
    with a short bit of wiring and a plug,without this the injectors wont fire I don't think.
