testing..

ripped tem MS loom to implement something more permanent and safe.

Old wiring route.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I'm going to take the wires through some holes I found in the firewall underneath the waterbottle area.
This way the majority of the MS cables will come through on the passenger side away from all the other electrical wiring near the fuse box.
Does anyone know where I can buy some rubber grommets for these holes so i can pass electrical cable through there safely?

Holes in question.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I have fed the cable from the wideband cable down drivers side hole.You can see the wires for it hear along with the two wires that feed into my fuse box.
The only connections that I have ran to/from the fuse box was a switched 12 volt feed and also pin 85 of the fuel pump relay so that MS can turn the fuel pump on.
These are the blue and white wires that you see in the footwell.The other loose wires are from the LC-1

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]


I then used this fuese box to distribute fused 12 volts to the things that needed it.i.e isv,fuel rail,hall sender,megasquirt & wideband.

I need to find a nice place for this to live.I may put it inside the cabin.Not decided yet.

So not really that much work.Should have a working loom by the end of this week installed to a higher standard than before.

Good work so far dude. What fuse box is that? Could you install it by the battery like they do in more recent VWs?

Way back, when I wanted a 16v G60, I had quite a lengthy chat with JMR on the phone, and one of the things he said was about mounting the alternator and which one to use and he suggested a Diahatsu(sp?) one. I'm pretty sure he said off a Charade, it's smaller than a standard one but is still enough output. Might be worth looking into, as it might be a better solution to cutting the rad support...

Hi,the fuse box is from a nissan micra of all things.
I'll consider the placing it by the battery.I guess it would be nice and tucked away there.

good info thanks.
I'll look into that now.Really don't want to have to get too radical with the rad support.
Good Job

thanks.
On the plus side on the underside it has a couple of fittings for vacuum,and it looks like they can be screwed in too so i can replace them with different size fittings if need be.
I'll use the ISV on one of these.
I was thinking of using the second vac port on the back of the g60 TB for the fuel pressure regulator.I should get a good MAP pressure reading from this one should I not?

btw on the pic below what function does the vac pipe with the yellow bit carry out?
anyone?
thanks.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

is that the vaccum pipe take off for the brake servo? and the yellow bit is a one way valve?

Yeah, unless you like the taste of walls and the rear bumpers of cars. Lol.

I believe that you have two chambers in the servo, both connected to the vaccum and with a rubber diaphram between them. The pedal and master cylinder are connected to the diaphram.

When you put your foot on the pedal, the vaccum is shut off from one side, and atmospheric pressure applied to it, this causes the diaphram, and therefore, the master cylinder to move.

I think this is right anyway. Might have agoogle to see if I'm correct now.

No walls and bumper in the cabin make me feel sad.
And that explains why when it blew off once my braking was somewhat compromised.Embarassed
Thanks,looks like that second vac point on the manni will be used for that then. Surprised

Cheers Simon I think i'll use that point for the fpr feed.
I'll take the MAP from the standard g60 point on the throttle. Smile

Looks similar to the inlet Dec has on his turbot. Was it expensive, and is it specifically for the G?

it was fairly expensive actually £260 Shocked .Impulse buy. Although I have recovered alot of the money by selling the rocco manni and the elbow to clear the dizzy.

I was hoping to use the 1.8t fuel rail but the mounting holes don't line up.
So I may have to buy their own custom fuel rail aswell. Rolling Eyes

I do like the look of it though.
I'm going to go and have another look at it to see if i can mod the 1.8t rail to fit.

Could you not make your own? IIRC James bought some extruded alloy fuel rail blank, that you just drill holes into for injectors. I'll see if I can find a link to the company that sells it...

3 bar is quite a high pressure for a push fit o-ring seal I wouldn't like to make one myself considering the consequences of getting it wrong! Sad

I agree junkie,I think they look more business like.
I am happy to build the rest of my install around it.Even if it has thrown up a headache.
I really should of just bought the fuel rail that comes with it at the time.I wasn't thinking.They don't have any left at the mo now Crying or Very sad
This is the companys promotional pic.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
as you can see the intended fuel rail is screwed in place on the manifold ensuring a good seal under pressure.
This is obviously ideal.As intimated by ctw I don't want to be worrying about fuel blasting over a hot supercharged bay.

Again thanks for the link Stu .If i can't get the above mentioned fuel rail i may have to go down that route.Any pics floating about of jame's setup?
