Ok I am pretty new to the tuner scene.  I mash stuff on bikes tho.  I do not know where to find any help.  Hopefully y'all can help me out.

I have a 98 Eclipse and we put a 32 valve in it and just rocked out with the wiring harness that was in it and its not the correct one.  Can anyone direct me on where on the net to get a diagram on how to set up a new wiring harness for it and where to find the harness .

I have been busting my balls to get this running and now I am at a point I am totally confused about.  I have never done anything like this    

Please help me out!

32 valve? on a 4 banger? overkill much?

If you look at his sig he's got an LT1 caprice motor in it which is a V8.  OP if i were you i'd consult a forum more muscle oriented as most people on here are not quite as familiar with V8's.  However, I would assume there is a diagram somewhere online.

"I have a 98 Eclipse and we put a 32 valve in it and just rocked out with the wiring harness that was in it and its not the correct one."

I think the Lt1 is in the buick riviera mentioned in his sig.

But in all seriousness, a 32 valve, on a 4 cyl 98 eclipse. It may have been a few yrs since my last math class, but that would mean 8, count em 8, per cylinder. how? unless they are the size of a quarter or smaller they just wouldnt fit. Then the camshafts? that head would be bigger (surface area of mating plane) than the block. Im not a DSM guy, but i just dont even see that one as feasable.

However i may be wrong, and if I am enlighten me, cuz this just sounds retarded to me.

i think he means a 16, but since hes used to a v8 he said 32. they dont make a 32v head for any 4cyl. the valves would be so small they wouldnt properly work. no engine has more than 4 per cylinder, hence 4cyl 16v, 6cyl 24v, 8cyl 32v.

to his original q. check hondata. they have the best electronic parts for almost every car.

Actually godfather they do have motors that have 5valves per cylinder hince the 20v 4age toyota motor and audi now makes one and i belive vw does also but if buddy can give us a engine code we all might be able to help better is it a mitsu motor and if not what kind is it(dodge, chevy, ford, toyota, etc.) how many cylinders are there and where did you get the motor from.

what kind of car has 20vs. the only engines that i know that have more than 4vs per cylinder is a semi motor. they have 8vs per cylinder.

A JDM motor from Japan has 20valves 4age for a 4cylinder. Not really sure which cars had them other than a lot of AE86 owners and MR2 owners like to bolt them in replacement of the 16valve 4age thats in there.
