Going to put up a to do list , as home from work next week and ideally want to get the car ready for mapping ASAP.
Wire in flat shift switch to OMEX ( 2 wires)
Wire in gear pot to the dash2 (aero plug on order)
Wire up fuel pump relay to OMEX
Connect fuel level sensor to dash2 and calibrate...
Russ what make are the bulkhead grommets you have used in the back , the ones with the rivited ring round them ? Im looking for something that splits and is removable to go around my ecu wiring and also shifter rod .
Does anyone running a dash 2 have a listing of there fuel level calibrations they could share.
Im just wiring my dash up and know i need a 300ohm resistor inline but to save having to drain,fill the tank.
I was wondering if anyone had readings i can enter into the RT software.
Not good news Neil but should all be simple fixes , are you going to send the ecu in for inspection ?
You will need the engine running to balance the bodies with a Syncrometer.
Does anyone know the size of the water hose that goes onto the heater matrix bulkhead connector ??
Im going to have to make/buy something to cross over from these hoses down to the 13mm hoses inside the car going to my heater , also going ot have to make a new bulkhead penetration as my...
I've now got the car wired for lights, wipers, indicators, rear fog along with tell tale lights on the dash and also tested the starter.
Powering up the omex, fuel pump and rad fan will have to wait until next time I'm home but I'm happy with the progress as I hate wiring.
I have 4 relays ...
Some progress made tonight , dash2 mounted and buttons wired. I powered it up of a 9v battery to test if I can see the screen ok from my seat.
Also made up a bracket for the alternator tensioner , I had to do away with the cup mount as the cup racer engine mount uses the same bolts
Yup 10 amp per channel , I'm going to run relays for the bigger draws.
Will probably also go to LED bulbs to cut the draw down. Would think the wiper motor will probably be the biggest draw
Yes that's the plan so far but I know of two cars that both run the same panel and they just use a direct feed with no relay and work fine.
Wiring time
Now time to work out ecu mounting position and
No all the standard wiring will be coming out , will have some buttons on the wheel then the ones on the panel for ecu , start.,auxciliarys ,main lights.
Progress has been slow this week due to the weather and builders being working on the garage.
I have managed to get a few more bits back in the bay.
Now need to work out 're routing the heater hoses as the shifter goes through the original hole.
Plan is now to rip out the rest of the interior...
Where did you get the side piece for the jenvey inlet, would be handy to fill in the gap into the belt
Here are a couple of pics showing that rear mount fitted.
Does anyone have a list of the torque settings for the ACS bump steer kit.
I bought mine second hand and didn't get any paperwork, particularly the bottom nut where it goes through the uniballs.
I was tempted to buy one but it's a standard engine so no real need. My old high comp engine made 230 bhp on the 182 manifold, so won't be a restriction.
Today's progress , almost ready to roll back under the shell. Just need to pick up some longer bolts for the bellhousing as the standard ones are too short.
Before I 're fit it I want to 're route the brake lines along the bulkhead and also work out where I'm going to run the ecu wiring through.
Managed to get a few hours work on the spare engine today.
Timing belt kit fitted
Timed to group N
New depahser
ARP rod bolts fitted
Sump gasket fitted
Sump and block painted.
Tomorrow I should get the billet flywheel and helix clutch fitted ,pure breather plate.
I then need to mount it in the...
Got the subframe built back up ready for the engine to be fitted.
Also got the old engine out have to say it was so easy with the little lift ,put a trolley under the sump , dropped the car down , undid the mounts then lifted the car up then pulled the engine clear.
Received my timing...
Made a start stripping the car today , got the subframe off, pms shifter out , and the engine wiring all ready to drop the engine.
New shifter fitted
Made a start painting up the bottom arms and parts ready to 're fit.
