Saturday -
started work on it at 12pm, finished at 8pm, this is what we got done.....
Old tank off (hi andy) -
New tank and fuel pump all fitted after about an hours fiddling -
Filter plumbed in and mounted lol -
FSE fuel pressure regulator (power b0000000st valve) mounted -
then finished plumbing all the lines etc, then put 18litres of tesco 99octane in...
then onto the wiring only pic ive got of any of the wiring -
then finished all the wiring, swapping the pins over onto the omex 200 plug, wired up the fuel pump, conected the battery, fuel pump primed for 2 seonds when turning the keyonto stage 2...
took the key out about 15-20 seconds later we spot smoke pouring out from inside the car... turned out to be this -
all the plastic casing/coating on the wire right from the battery to the fuel pump relay (which is behind my drivers seat and the battery is in the engine bay still) was all like this and burnt off/melted.
with having no more wire and it dark we had to call it a day specially as my internet couldnt get a decent enough connection to download the omex software onto a mates lap top...
ALSO noticed, fuel pissing out all down the side of the front of the tank, looks like ts coming form where i blanked off the existsing lines where they come out the top where you can see n the forst picture, so tank and pump, drain the fuel all again
Sunday -
Went to halfords got 5m of 27amp wire and a fuse holder for the 12v feed for the fuel pump relay, and a new 35-40amp relay which cost a fiver LOL...
got back then andy came we wired the fuel pump etc back up first, i jumped underneath to connect the connections only to notice i wired it up backwards, no wonder it burnt
...
connected the battery and wahey we have a fuel pump that primes spot on and a wire that doesnt set on fire
then tried to link 3 different laptops upto the ECU, all 3 were having none of it, so off to maplin to get a new USB-serial cable... tried that, still no joy...
then tried a direct earth from the omex to the battery and wahey, Brens majic laptop liked to talk to my Omex 600, then after a few touches to the map from andy he truned the key, after lots of Pops/bangs and flames from out the bodies, it wouldnt come to life, went throgh every wire and sensor on the loom, turned out when we swapped the wires on the coil pack (no idea why they are different to the omex 200 as every other wire is exactly the same on the plug)... it livvvedd, not very well but it came to life for about 20seconds...
Also checked the tank when it the car was running and no leaks, so must be leaking from the filler neck, so tank still has to come off etc, sigh
heres the engine bay completed and a new addition -
so as soon as andy can when he comes back to mine, we need to swap the pins over on the coil pack again after bodgeing it up with a spare connector, sort a new earth out for the omex, then go from there hopefully it runs, can mapp it so itll drive nice enough till i can get to Mikeanics, then get the tank down and see where the leaks coming from.
Today -
Andy came round about 12ish, swapped the pins over on the omex plug for the coil pack, new earth and ignition live to the omex too...
then tried to connect the laptop upto the ECU, still wasnt connectong for some reason
... then tried everything, then went to maplin to get a serial to serial cable and took the car battery, omex and my spare loom in the house to try link it all to my computer and great success! it worked, so then andy sorted all the settings on the omex, took it outside car seemed to run a little better, then took my computer outside, fired in the lambda sensor in the exhaust and begin mapping lol -
did it once took it for a spin, then back again to adjust the fuelling, back out again, then back to adjust the fuelling, then back out again, andy is happy hows its at now, he also took a litle vid which im sure he'll post up when he gets a minute, its still quite rich upto 2k but sweet after that...
Mapping is booked on for 1.30 Thursday :approve:
what a 3 days lol!
