Thread: Gtir help

shit mann that sux!

i have a feeling that your prob is mainly with the wiring for the distributor.
do u atleast have the p11 distributor to put in?

Well I could find one at the junkyard if that's the only way

im thinkin that the cam sensor in the gtir distributor istn compatible with a 94-97 ecu.
if anyone else can chime in on this feel free.

also u need to make sure that the pin locations on the ecu for the cam signal wires are in the right place.
without having a wiring diagram for the gtir it is very difficult to know wire color and pin numbers.
u may have to chase the wires from the pins on the distributor to the ecu.

idk anyone personally that has put a gtir into a p11.
ive done det swaps into p11 and i used the stock p11 engine harness and distributor. then just performed the wiring mods listed in the links.

Oh man I figured out my father did save the p11 dizzy so I guess I'll try this.. and yeah I was warned that it would be a lot easier the swap all the harnesses out with the p11's but nooo stupid me haha oh well. But yeah thanks for the input!

no prob. try throwing the p11 dizzy in.
let me know if the plugs are the same . im curious to know

Alright will do... thanks again! But it might be a couple days because the car is in storage now but I will get back to you

Actually one more thing.. so if the dizzy might be the problem, would the cam position wires lead to there then?

Yep. The cam sensor is in the distributor. With out the correct distributor for the ecu the engine won't run

well the harness plugs for the gti-r dizzy are completely different because the gti-r's dizzy has an external coil but it still bolts up the same, so I just had to do some splicing and wiring and boom he started right up! Thanks for your help! Will post a new thread of all the details and maybe some pics and videos once my down pipe is fixed and bumper is painted.

awesome bro! hope u enjoy the new swap.

post some details of the wiring that had to be done for members to use for future swaps.


good work
