I flap my gums
and now I'm a specialist

Well, I will flap my gums and give my 2cents, since it has been ridiculed before

Generally, this method is what I use once you have separated the engine wiring from the swap dash harness (JDM/Wrx) . Most of what you need to separated does not have to be cut, that is from the ecu to the engine. Some stuff you may have to cut to separate from the dash harness such as the O2 sensor , speed sensor, rad fans, main relay power, ecu back up power , ignition switch, start switch, tacho, cel , water temp gauge, oil pressure gauge...to name a few. What you will find once you do all this, is that you basically have a stand alone engine harness. And most of the wires you have cut , can be spliced into your stock RS harness at the ecu connectors, such as tacho, ecu main power/back-up power, fans , cel , main relay control...etc. Some power wires you will have to tap off the stock main relay. As well you will have to tap into the stock engine connectors for the water temp/ oil pressure and cluster ground.

If you do it this way, you do not have to rip out the stock harness nor take out the dash. If the car ever had to be converted back, all the stock RS connectors are still there to use.
