Info Archive / links / files

Ok, this post will be our info / archive / links / files post for engine conversions.

It will work like this, if you have useful links or info on an engine, then post a reply with what engine it is for, what it is about, and the link if applicable. I will then copy the info into this first post to keep things neat, and delete your post.

If you have a file, U2U me and tell me what the file is, file type, and file size. I will tell you which email address to send it to, then I will add it to this post.

I need some help, I'm trying to find some info on hooking my Megasquirt up to my Subaru EJ20T. I know where all the wires are going from the Megasquirt, I just don't have any idea what order the wires are on the plugs.

I tried the links above. Only about half of them worked, and the ones that did were using the stock ECU.

Thanks.

Hi Guys,
Anyone know where I could find a wiring diagram for an 06 EJ20 motor?
Thanks,
