Hey guys,

First off, yes i searched and have been looking for the past few hours... but i just can't sift through 192 pages of threads...thats just way too many. So thanks in advance if you have this info.

I am getting ready to wire up my megasquirt with a K8 engine harness and require the K8 ECU pinouts. I have located the KL pinouts here but i am not sure if they are a match or not to the K8.

I did notice that ccreech has an Exel file and i've PM'd him, hopefully he'll be around soon and maybe help me out.

Thank you.

Its in the manual, just not the online manual.
Someone will have to scan it for you.

The pre-96 KL ecu pinouts should be the same.

i hope someone is that kind

right, *should* be the same...i just don't want to get all into it just to have to change it around...lol

thanks man.

Well on a PGT they can use a K8 ECU, and we can use a KL ECU if you use their VAF. I wouldnt think there'd be any differences as far as engine management is concerned.

ahhh, i wasn't aware you could swap the ECUs like that. I knew the DE could be used on a ZE and vice versa...and i knew about the VAF thing... so this is good news.

thanks again.

Do you still need the diagram? I have a 93' full manual and a scanner. PM me if so and I'll email it to you or something.

Pre 96 pin outs are the same for ZE as the MX-3 this is why we can use our existing wirring harness. Also I've got the MX-3 pin out diagram from mazda

Thanks alot guys, ccreech sent me the info and i also bought a wiring manual off ebay, i'm sure i'll need it for something else in the future.

and i dunno why my brain was so numb...but ya duh, if we can use the K8 harness, no duh we can use the KL ECU...dunno what i was or wasn't thinking...hahaha

correct the only differance i believe is wire colors, but since your just looking for pin outs that wont bother you

cool...ya once my brain kicked in and i looked at the 2 wire harnesses last night, the colors are different, but the pin configurations were the same.

thanks guys!

Does anyone know if the Post 96 diagrams exist? Ive been trying to find them for a loooong time.
