Did the engine come from an S14?
Here is the schematic for an S14 which may help you decide what wires are surplus: - I have the S13 & S14 Service Manuals as .pdf files if they are of use to you

I'm not sure what it came out of it came with my car but it is the red top motor I'm new to these engines as I always used L series in the past

It won't be from an S14, they were all SR.

It will almost certainly be from an S13 so you need that wiring diagram.

Then just wire up what you need, and tape up what you don't. Once it's iriving and doing everything you want then you're safe to chop out all those taped-up wires. Can always do that straight away, but it's just a safety thing as it's easier to chop later, than 'unchop' if you hacked stuff you didnt need to.
