Well unfortunately weather didnt play ball this weekend but got a fair bit done on Saturday so fingers crossed should be at POL. Anyway while the weather was bad today i got the loom made that will link the engine to the engine bay fuse box and into the car. Just need to test fit it to make sure everything is the right length and i havent missed anything before covering it with flame and fluid resistant heat shrink....

Just a quick one to keep thread going. Unfortunately due to work and kids party's at weekends still running behind but not far off now just the final bits of wiring, coolant pluming and exhaust to sort and should be there i think.

Well started what i thought was going to be a easy job today. Thought i would get the Coupe bonnet flatted and grill holes sorted ready to get painted next week so flatted the top coat down....

Bit more done today just getting wiring finished hoping to get the ignition on tomorrow at last....

First off adding the Solder sleeve's onto the shielded cables to allow any noise to travel to earth for the Lambda and crank sensor signals. I dont run a cam sensor on mine engine so only 2 needed....

IMG_20180510_205342 by John Quincey, on Flickr

Few of the plugs and terminals using gold plated terminals for all sensor signals and standard for power and grounds....

IMG_20180509_211736 by John Quincey, on Flickr

Adding in the splices for common power and grounds and covered with Motorsport Raychem spec ES2 end caps.....

IMG_20180509_211716 by John Quincey, on Flickr

For the join between the engine bay and inside ive used Motorsport spec Deutsch DT Series plugs so should the engine need to come out i just need to disconnect the plugs and all wiring from the engine and engine bay fuse box etc will come all together nice and easy with the engine with all sensor signals on 1 plug, powers and ground on the other 24 pins in total. The plugs are mated male to female, female to mate so i cant mis-match them and blow the ecu.....

IMG_20180510_183717~2 by John Quincey, on Flickr

And finally i stripped, cleaned, rebuilt and sprayed the Alternator as everything else has been done....
