Cool - that's how i did em

 

lofty, what part of "dont wire it into the sensor, wire it near your ecu, and use the ecu earth as the earth" did you miss on thursday night?

Scoobymods, is thursday that bad?

 

lol, erm, all of it I guess!!! I got confused when I read the instructions that came with it which distinctly said to wire the white wire directly into the sensor and emphasised using an engine earth for the green wire. I looked at the spaghetti coming out of the ecu and decided not to interfere with it!!! I earthed the KL box to the ecu cover plate tho

 

Steven yes, how's your car doing ? still in the what else can i fit mood?

 

scoobynew if you want it wireing in to the ecu let me know i have all the ecu pin out's from my96-my02 on pdf format.

 

Anyway I think I did well - I followed the instructions to the letter, did it all myself without having to burden anyone, learned a bit about denting panels with knees, scraped and scratched **** out of my strutbrace ragging the intercooler past it, took chunks out of all my fingers, froze my knackers off in the cold, buggered up the stereo wiring which I had to sort out, spent forever trying to fathom out how I'd wired up the relay/switch/led for the GPS kit that I put in the car, snapped various plastic clips along the way.............

...................and it only took me all feckin day to do! Bonus!!

 

LOL at lofty, sure Bob Rawle once said its better nearer the ecu. Thats where mine was, which he originally installed.

Scoobymods, yep, still in that frame of mind. Car is still in bits, as lofty can vouch for

 

did you solder the wires in?

 

steve by the way if you plan on removing your intercooler its best to first remove your syrut brace

also try to warm up the pipe that goe's on to the turbo when refitting the intercooler,
i had bother with mine then i remeber'd Mr.D useing a heat gun to help it back on to the turbo.

scoobymods

 

he probably couldnt remember how the strut brace went on :P

 

lol @ Mr.D very good

 

rotten there mate.....
but sadly true!

scotch lock?

 

what you mean the old twist & tape?

 

no way, please no!

 

F.A.O Trickie have ya been out in the scoob since i came down yesterday?

 

Oi pi55 off the lot of you - I don't remember it being pick on Lofty day today.

I actually got the intercooler off with the strutbrace in place (trapped my fingers a few times tho).

But there was NO way it would go back on with the strutbrace in place (which was when most of the scraping occurred )

So I took it off then put it back on again. Luckily I remembered to jack the front of the car up and off the ground whilst I did this

 

lofty if ya want me to solder the wire's for you let me know, that's what i used when i removed the superchip.

scoobymods

 

sorry steve blame Mr.D he made me giggle

 

Which wires should I have soldered

I tried soldering once - supposedly a delicate operation but I could've qualified for a job in a shipyard joining huge sheets of ocean-going steel together with my soldering skills.

 

The wire to the lamba probe, and its also a good idea to put a little bit in to the crimp conector's just for extra safty

 

the lambda wires

 

so steve have you started your cleaning plan for well lane?

you know it will pi55 down on the way there! and there's mud all over the m62 at the a1 turn off due to road work's and there's a 50mph limit at this with a gatso on each side!

scoobymods

 

Well you learn something every day!!!!!
