I have read that if you change the intake and exhaust manifolds from a USDM engine to the JDM, that you can. Theoretically, they are the same block and head, but US emissions standards require more sensors for a cleaner exhaust. Not quite. The emissions standards in Japan have been higher than the US for many years. Secondly, the head is not drilled for EGR on the JDM engines, nor is the intake manifold, but the engines will run just fine without the EGR systems, and only California emissions model cars have a sensor to turn on the Check Engine Light if the EGR system is removed. The only other changes that would need to be made to run a JDM engine with a USDM harness and ecu is to change the oxygen sensor from the 1 wire unheated JDM sensor to a 4 wire US spec oxygen sensor. The JDM engine will also have a exhaust temp sensor after the primary catalytic converter that is unused on USDM cars, and there is no connector in the USDM harness for it. I have heard it was used for a light on the dash as a warning on righ hand drive JDM vehicles and so is completely useless in a US spec car.

What is car stereo wiring for 1993 GMC jimmy?

there is a harness that connects the speakers, the stereo and any power (extras bought) in a single bunch. most stereo kits make adapters that fit on the back of an aftermarket stereo so you don't have to cut the harness. however, it is a tight fit behind the stock stereo because of a plastic backing built into the dash. recommend to not cut the harness and find a way to fit it all (adapter, new stereo harness, stock harness) into the space provided.

How do you install after market power mirrors on a 2001 ford mustang?

What I did was take the mirrors off the aftermarket mirror's, remove the motor and four wire connection. Take off the stock power mirrors, removed the mirrors, took out the stock motors and wire harness. Installed the stock motors and wire harness into the aftermarket mirrors. Plugged the wire harness back in, wired up the lights and turn indicators on the mirrors and they are working just fine.
