Where can I get ECU sockets to make adapter harnesses?

**TERRA Operative** · 11-09-2010, 09:44 PM

I'm looking for an ECU socket to make an adapter harness so I don't have to chop my stock 4AGZE loom to fit an aftermarket ECU.

Does anyone know where I can get these things? I know where to get the plugs on the loom, but I need the socket in the actual ECU. I would rather not sacrifice an ECU to get one if possible.

I specifically need a socket to suit an AE101 4AGZE.

Diyautotune sell break-out board kits with various factory ECU sockets - they probably also sell the sockets seperately

may help.

If not, they do separate plugs.

I also found this place http://wolfems.cart.net.au/details/2256528.html which is local. I can get the plug for $83 inc. postage.

The extra 12 pin plug could be useful for connecting extra things like the control for the pump for the water to air intercooler etc.

Just go to the wreckes and get an old ecu, $50 and you have the sockets you need, if your going a wolf ecu, send them the 2nd hand ecu and they will install the board in it for you for a lil extra, that way mr plod cant dick you for an after market ecu either!

It's getting an adaptronic, but with an adapter harness, so the wiring in the engine bay will remain stock.

I love these kind of threads. + rep for links

Terra, not sure if its too late. But I should be able to get the connectors for about $45. Will be a couple of weeks before I see the rep again tho.

That's the socket that sits inside the ECU itself?

I could be interested, but a few weeks is a while away..... I ordered the one in the wolfems link above, which will give me an extra connector for other ancilliaries that I want to add. It cost me $83 odd though..

Could you get the connectors sooner? If so I'll cancel my order with wolfems.

Hey mate, I'm not a shop, so can't guarantee anything, just try to help out where I can.. I guess that's why u pay extra through wolf.

Look, I use them occasionally too, so will get a few in. Up to u if u wanna cancel the order.

I'll keep this order with wolf, but I'll also grab some from you when you can get them. They'll come in handy for sure.
Let me know when you can, no rush.
