I've been scrounging used connectors for various projects over the centuries, and I notice that it's possible to buy 'patch harnesses' for popular Japanese cars which are plug n' play for aftermarket ECU's. At $250 on average damn they 'spensive. But the fact that they are available tells me someone out there makes the ECU connectors and my question: does anyone know who that might be?

Also interested in this.

DIYAT will sell a good amount of the plugs, i believe.

I also need more generic plugs such as what HKS was using 20 years ago.

Mouser Electronics lists a lotta stuff but they usually have a 1,000 piece minimum order.

Who is DIYAT? I Googled it, got a bunch of Q'uran related stuff. I'm thinking Mohammed wasn't in the molded plastics business.

I thought they had all the ECU plugs for a Miata, for example. Can't seem to find them on the site.

Why didn't you just say DIY AutoTune?

They don't have OEM ECU plugs either. Someone somewhere out there sells them, and when I find them....
