Wiring scrap pile continues to grow! A big thank you has to go out to @MicKPM as well. With his help I now know which wire does what on the cam phase sensor. Without this it would've been guess work. Thanks again mate! I'll keep the original ecu plug the next time I do it! Flol
I've got my old set of coolant pipes sat around that I'll not be needing due to upgrading to forge silicone hoses.
OP - if you have split a hose and you want my old ones give me a mention in here or drop me a pm. :up:
EFA! Lol! I've built a few performance engines now and a lot of it comes down to careful measuring, patience and research.
Using cheap components can also be another way for an engine to fail.
If it's the standard ecu plug you lift yellow piece up and it comes off. That allows you access with a terminal tool. Lift the tab, then give the wire a gentle pull. Hey presto!
All the other plugs are just your standard junior timer/power timer plugs, other than a couple of oddballs like the...
The more frustrating thing is that to change the seal with the box out only takes about 40 minutes!! I may have another solution to the problem that I'm looking into though!
On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being the worst and 10 being not so bad, I'd safely say it's a 1 mate. I can do the seal for you if you want, but it's 100% a box out job mate as you are aware.
I know but I've got a sweet tooth! It does stop you getting colds though. f**k ready brek - jägerbulls ftw!
Yeah it makes you realise just how big the airbox is doesn't it. The loom normally suffers in the areas where you get a lot of flex/engine movement mate. The plugs also get brittle as well.
The majority of the cup loom is fucked tbh mate. The constant heating up and cooling down does them no good and just makes them brittle.
I forgot to upload this earlier as well! Got an aerial shot! Lol!
So a few bits and pieces done again today. I've made a CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) template for the ecu mount. This will also combine as a support for the base of the airbox. I'll be taking a trip to see a mate to get the aluminium sheet needed for this next week.
So whilst doing a bit of...
Ah right ok. Yeah me too mate. I've had no choice but to use braided hose for the fuel line, but it runs under the car so it makes sense to use it. It'll more than likely get heat shrink applied to it though where it's on show in the engine bay.
