If you get the harness, there will be 2 wires you will cut. Those 2 cut wires (4 ends) will wire right to the E.S.K. (4 wires). Then power and ground.
Emanage is same way to wire up, which ZPI can tell you that later if you're not ready for emanage yet. Camcon should also be the same way.
Dezod only had the prewired ones (ZPI does as well, but were sold out)...which is fine because I needed it anyway.

Couldn't get the car since she had to work every evening this week. I will have it this weekend to make the mod.
The unit runs around $200. A harness also runs around $200 or so.
If you don't want the harness, you can cut 2 wires and save $200. I chose the harness because I am using emanage anyway.

Sam at turboeast faxed me the connection sheet guys. WOOOHOOO.
I will have a full write up on this. Right now, I still haven't reinstalled my turbo because I want to test it without FI first. Get some video. Then install the turbo this weekend and compare the shift with FI.

Your wording made it seem (at least to me) that if you use the Emanage harness that you NEED the Emanage connected in order for the ESK to work...is this the case? I figured that since the harness just extends the wires from the ECU I can get a ESK now and then hook up an Emanage later. Which one is it? Thanks!

The ZPI harness is a straight thru harness. They do the taps themselves. So, you can order them not needing Emanage taps.

Hold on the E.S.K. from Turbo East.
When I installed it, the car was having trouble running right...but I was attributing that to the Harness and Emanage. Since them, I have been working to resolve the issue. But at this point, several other have got the kit and tapped direct and seem to be having problems running right.
Working it out now.

Sorry to hear that ScionDad. I have been ill/hospital for the last week. Just sold my 96 Civic and saving up for any successful future tranny mods that come up. If it helps, Merry Xmas. If you would like to set up a testing fund, I am willing to contribute to the cause.
