ECU issues when going carb'ed?
What exactly do you guys do with the unused connections when you do a carb setup on an n/a 13B? I am considering this for my project car. I am dreading hooking everything back up to the used motor I am getting. It looks like a pain in the ****.

If you're going to keep the stock ECU for ignition control, you'll just need to "tie back" all the fuel control wires.  I've heard that power transitors don't like to be left "floating", so it's recommended to run "dummy loads" on the fuel injectors leads just to keep the power transitors happy.  I'm sure someone with better EE knowledge might be able to confirm or refute the dummy load recommendation...

why not just run a couple of msd or crane boxes right off of the batt. is this a street or race car or both? if it's going to be on the street at all i suggest going with what ted recomends but if it's just race only car gut all that electrical stuff out.
