I'm cosidering developing a beams harness based off of the usdm 3sgte harness. Most of the sensors are the same between the beams and previous generations of 3sge. The orientation of the sensors is also not that different. The main source of difficulty will be adding the wiring for the individual coil packs and additional stuff this adds (i'm assuming the beams uses an ignition module similar to the supra). Aside from this, it will be normal stuff like switching ecu plugs, removing unneeded circuits, changing sensor plugs, etc.....

I know there is a harness for the beams mr2 already, but there are only a 1000 or so of these in existance. Mr2 beams swap sell for as high as 6k. You can pick up just a motor for $1000.

I'm going to start doing a little research, it may turn out that converting a 3sgte harness for use with the 3sge beams may actually be easier than converting the 16v 4age harness for use with the 4age 20v.

I will probably start picking up parts in a month or so, just gotta fully complete my 2nd gen 3sge conversion.
