you do realize that you will need parts of the ka harness to hook up the rb harness, right? you will also need the lower ka harness for the rb tranny. ---

As for anyone wanting to do this wiring… Its soooo easy… Mines plug an play now… I wired in the Ka plug an BAM its all good… Honeslty its 4 wires… Short run down these 3 are on the RB harness in the Grey big 6 pin plug an what they go to - White/purple stripe off RB Plug to the Thick white wire thats at the front fuse box by the battery - Black with red stripe off rb plug to the black with red stripe off the grey plug by the battery - white with black stripe off rb plug to the red wire outta the same grey plug by the battery This last wire from RB harness comes from the ecu plug - Pink wire to the black with pink strip off the small brown plug thats right off the same lead as the grey plug near the battery Now what i did was cut the grey plug off the Rb harness and the grey plug an brown plug off the ka engine harness… extended wires accordingly to match use solder… not crimps to button everything up an shrink wrap but test to start first B4 you wrap everything up tight with elec tape for a clean look ---

Ok just found this as well for wiring This how-to is for 89-90 240SXs that came equipped with SOHC engines. Wiring up a 91-94 DOHC engine should be very similar, but not quite the same. This how-to also assumes that you already have the engine and tranny installed. If you are performing this swap, make sure you have the engine and tranny installed properly. 1. Run the ECU harness into the passenger side of the car, extending the mass air flow sensor, and O2 sensor wires. 2. Locate 2 plugs on the RB20 motor harness. Both being rectangle and one having 6 wires, and the other having 8 wires. 3. After locating these, find the female end of each of these plugs and cut them back about 6-8 inches. 4. Locate 2 oval plugs on the KA chassis harness, one being grey, and the other being brown. 5. After finding these, cut the Black/red wire, and connect it to the Black/red wire on the RB plug that was just cut. 6. On that same plug, cut the Red wire and splice it to the white/black wire on the same RB plug. 7. Going towards the fuse box, there will be a white wire that goes into the box. Cut and strip both ends of it. 8. Splice the white/purple wire from the RB plug into the white wire. 9. Off of the ECU there is a Black/pink wire for the fuel pump, run a wire from the ECU into the engine bay to the black/pink wire from the fuse box. 10. Now there will be a plug with 2 wires in it on the KA chassis harness, one being white and the other being black/yellow. Find the black/white wire on the other RB plug and connect the two. 11. Coming out of the fuse box there will be a plug that contains a small white/red wire. Take that and connect it to the white red wire coming from the RB motor harness by the alternator. 12. Take the thick white/blue wire and run a wire from there to the positive battery terminal; that will charge the battery from the alternator. The way I did mine was I took the RB battery harness and connected it to the battery as well as the KA battery harness, that way it powers the KA harness and the RB harness, same goes for the negative battery cable. 13. Make sure to use the ground for the starter from the KA lower harness ---
