Question Update on my project '83 turbo swap. Help

Im still on my project 83 turbo swap to my N/A 83 5spd do I really need to swap the whole entire turbo harness of the car or just the motor harness conectin the ECU+ fusable links?
If anyone has any suggestions to make this work let me know. Thanks.

You really only need the efi harness. I swapped the entire car harnesses because I wanted everything to run like stock, then modify from there... and I wanted the boost & oil temp gauges.

There's QUITE a few threads about that swap. Long answer short... yes, you need the analog dash wiring.

Is the engine in great shape? If so how much do you want for it? I am looking for an '83 n/a motor, that runs like a top. So I can put it in my '83 280zx. Let me know man, that would be sweet.
