Ok, first off I did use the search function, the blitz installs didn't help me that much. I have never installed anything like this before, so I'm afraid to screw up. I have the dash off and the wiring harness in hand. How do I attach the wires to the 12v constant etc, just plug them in? solder them? after they are in where do I plug in into for power? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I read the instructions that came with the timer and it made more sense to me. I haven't gotten those pics yet philly. Anyway, how do I connect the wires from the timer to the harness? Strip them both and hold together with electrical tape? Could you link the pics? Maybe that would be easier.

Also, it said to connect the three pin connector to the timer, is that the thing that looks like an electrical plug?

No solder not enough room to work stripe the wires long on the HKS so you can rap them good use a razor and clean away the 12v and acc wire about an 1/2" and rap the wire around and maybe use some shrink tape heat with heat gun then electrical tape

okay....use a big ass soldering iron/gun. those wires are thick and you WILL want a good connection...then wrap in electrical tape.

To whoever said dont use the RPM signal, thats fine, you're right its not necessary, but if you want to use any of the functions of the timer, you might as well hook it up. you can hook up the speedo and RPM wires behind the gauges or at the ECU. the color codes are listed in car audio/electronics.
