OK, wired up the Vic's connector and pulled the wiring through the firewall to get it ready for the DB12 connector.



EBC got wired as well. Connected to the blue +12v switched sitting right behind the drivers headlight. Pulled the DB12 wire through the firewall





Connector off of 2&4 are what I'm guessing is going to the DB12. I'm going to change that so it is a little cleaner.





The small single pin wire goes to the Rear thermostat(I think?) or it is the CAS wire.

 

NO. stop. **** you.

you dont just put flyback diodes wherever you damn well please.

where has anyone ever suggested you should put diode on the injectors?

again: **** you.



And of course your oem 1.6L had the injectors paired correctly. the problem is you want to REMOVE the pairing and rewire it so you can run sequential injection, same thing with your cop harness. also that harness looks like complete garbage.

 

Oh **** you were talking about the COP. That was a sleep deprived mix up dude. Apologies. Yeah the harness is disgusting.

No not **** me. I have been awake for a while. Editing now!

 

And it's not like I was just going to vomit diodes on to it, I would have quadruple checked to see if I was making an idiot mistake.

 

MS3X pro-tip-of-the-day:

the expander board was built with a sub-par flyback circuit for it's PWM outputs.

That comprises: boost, idle, nitrous2, nitrous1, vvt, and tacho.

You only need to add a flyback diode to 12v on any PWM device that's on one of those outputs. In your case that's Boost and Idle like I suggested.

You do not need to add a diode in any other case, unless you're also running VVT.

 

Green connector goes to the water temp sender for the ECU at the rear of the head.

single black/blue - goes to the water thermosensor for the instruments cluster...

 

Thanks for clearing that up Brain.

I had them connected Zaph just wasn't sure what their function was, appreciated.

I think, besides needing new connectors for the 99 throttle body, we are getting pretty close to getting it sorted.

You guys have the patience of saints, brain just likes to kick me in the nuts politely before he educates me...which works super effectively!

 

im just in a bad mood.

 

Its cool man, I don't let **** get to me at all. I'd rather admit my ignorance and solve the problem rather than letting my pride get in the way.

The weekend is just around the corner!

 

I'm the embrace that smothers.

 

Well I can do that too, but I prefer that in a more physical way...

You just got me on the hook with your project and I like to see that thing finished... (Though I don't want to see it driven, because it might break my heart...)

 

Nah, no hook Zaphod. Never feel obligated to help!

 

OK, a couple questions. Which wire do you splice into for the Tach Out pin for 2B on the DB12 connector? Is it from the Tach wire on the COP Mitsubishi Power Unit?

Also, is the passenger side motor mount sensor the knock sensor along with a 2 pin wire, located below the lower intake manifold? I believe the principle owner said he had 2 knock sensors hooked up to the car.

Also, as per a previous post I found of yours Brain, are these are the correct wires to make the new VTPS connector be recognized by the MS?

 

Ok ONE last question. the 2 +12v and ground for 2E 2C 2A, are these to power the breakout board or are they additional pins for things to be added to the connector?

Just need to know if I need to run wires for power and ground to the breakout board or if they are supplied via the main Megasquirt board.

 

they are used for that fuel pump curcit that's built there, plus additional points to send to the spare connector.

 

OK so just leave them alone And good to go?

Sorry I've been up for 2 days and the brain(my brain) needs clarification.

 

yes.

 

Praise Oprah! Best news all day long.
