Yes 10 of the Field units, though we do not deal with their US supplier.
We ordered these back in March..finally got word they are in our next shipment!

So these are the extension harnesses that will plug directly into and work with the US Evo8, correct?
If so, put me on the list. I'll send you a PM as well.
Thanks!

I will be going down to Z1 at some point when these harnesses come in, and I will verify that they are correct.. However, if they ordered the part # that I had earlier in my thread.. Its the same part # for the EVO 7, and a few others.. Now I have empiracle evidence that the connectors are the same between the two cars.. Another member of this forum plugged in a Ralliart ECU into their Evo8.. The car ran crappy, but the connectors fit, all that says is that the physical connectors are the same, and that is all we're going for with this part.

Oh and I just got a note from the manufacturers of the connectors.. Their sending me several samples after all.. Not very important at this point considering the price for the Field harness is comparable to what I would be charging for them.

The reason the Ralliart ECU is probably not working as expected is that it is made for "N group" racing and that means it has "less" power than our cars, it's also mapped to operate with a smaller, less powerful turbo!!
I think that these harnesses are the answer to our quest as long as they are high quality, well made products without continuity problems or excessive impedance. I want one !!!

Actually its entirely possible its wired slightly differently.. Keep in mind not all of the pins are connected, and we have OBD-II, which means data lines also are run.. The injector (bank) order could be different, or it could be calibrated for other differences.. We do know there are some differences between the JDM and USDM models of the car.. ACD is one example of something that would have ECU functions.. The wiring harnesses are built to have every pin connected, so anything that shares these connectors, they will work with.. THe trick is if the connectors are tinned or gold, gold will be less likely to corrode or have continuity problems over the years.. The wiring should be high quality copper stranded wire, fairly heavy, and about 10cm or less to give the least amount of resistence. I definitely suggest giving your business to Z1-Performance, but you may want to give it some time until I can post an evaluation of the harnesses. I have them getting two for me.. one to use in my car, and one to test for quality, fit, durability, etc..
