Or, skip the crimper and get some Posi-lock connectors and some Posi-tap wire taps. Those things are really cool. They make it really easy to install and un-install without tools.

I couldn't find the taps at the local auto parts store so you may have to order those off the internet.
That's what I would do. Good luck!

I would rather have someone to yell at when the cars electrical system malfunctions than f it up myself and have noone to blame but myself. Thats worth a couple hours laber to me.

I have installed a couple of these and I definitely recommend a solder job for the wire splice into the stock harness. You don't want them coming loose once you have everything tuned for power. A bad intermittent connection with a crimp connector and you're in trouble.

If you don't trust yourself, certainly get a shop to do it... otherwise have faith!
Happy Turkey Day btw!

I beleive this is a matter of tapping a couple of wires on the ECU. As long as your are meticulous and triple check everything you should be okay. The posi-lock idea seems pretty cool. This should take about 1 - 2 hours max.

You definately want a soldered connection with the SAFC...it's an accidental waiting to happen using crimp connectors.
We charge $65 an hour for board members and are on LI if you need it done.
Install is about 2 hours on it, though it depends how complex of a mounting job you want for it.
