can I just connect the engine loom to the engine and connect the ecu, the wire in the starter, ignition live and fuel pump and expect it to fire up?

got a few more questions about the UCH and the engine loom/ECU etc... :o I'm putting a 172 engine in to a mk1, so do not have the UCH etc. I have a decoded ECU which should allow me to just plug it in to the engine loom and fire it up. question is, if I have a loom with the UCH connector...

no, they're on about the ring tone the person who is calling you get through their phone

I remember on old T-mobile contracts you could pay a few pence a month to have a 'song' over your ringtone played :p

brilliant :D just being paranoid :o

Got myself a ph1 172 ecu which has been decoded to remove the imboliser... however, it looks like its missing a pin: is this normal? :dapprove:

i swapped my insurance over to my standard J plater, but kept the mods so I'm overdeclared! :o

get a mk1

can you take some pics of the engine bay for me? :o

really are going to some lengths on the weight stripping front! :eek: nice to see the progress though! :D

Re: My mk1 track car blog answer your PMs :dapprove:

I've pulled apart a spare set of clocks, an I'm reasonably confident I can easily alter them to read double the rpm... I'll let you know :D

Where have all the south west mk1s gone :dapprove: but excellent pics as usual mate! :D

so it's been you hogging up the supply ;)

I'm plenty interested! :D mine should be running in a week or so...

brilliant! :) thanks for your help!

think I recall this being mentioned before.. the rev counter on the 16v clocks only reads half what it should do, yeh? is it exactly half? (due to 2 coil packs?)

thanks for that :) so I need to wire in controls for engine speed, coolant temp and to allow 10s after ignition I've also heard that AC shouldn't run when below 4deg?

so the aircon isnt run through the ecu? how does it turn off on full throttle?

how does the ph1 172 cope with the added load of having aircon switched on at idle? will it automatically sense the increased load and adjust the idle accordingly? or is there some ECU trickery to keep it running right?

it's all on Dan now (and me finding a ph1 loom)

pretty much :( Dan is slacking something about having to work, *shrug*

built up: The wiring I have to connect to the 172 loom:

thanks :D I bought an ECU today mate - it has the same codes on as yours does (from your text) - hopefully the ecu bloke can work his magic on it like he did for yours! :D All I need now is a ph1 throttle body + airbox, fuel rail (with FPR) - though im using a valver one for now, exhaust made...

got myself a nice diesel gearbox thanks to harvythehippo! :D at hillpower: Cleaning up: The inner bolts look suspiciously new/clean! Painted! grubby hands on the driveshaft

Missed your msn messages mate ^^ - was at hillpower! :D I want them pipes! :D

someone spotted Ads car *and* he was driving it?? :eek:

not quite sure how I managed to post in the wrong thread, but heres mine: at Adenau Forst: and my old RT

installed: (flash makes everything look rubbish :() the middle connection now comes out straight at the gearbox/dogbone mount :roll: so I'll have to make that a very tight bend :shock:

Made up the remaining hydraulic lines on the rack tonight... looks messy, but I'm reasonably happy with the result, considering it was my first ever attempt! :D 1st pipe: 2nd pipe: Different angles: Broke one of the connectors :( (which is why the middle pipe is a bit longer and not...
