The V8 Owners Forum -

The engine is all wired up with the ms3pro, starter and alternator. Innovate LC1 wideband with gauge and rev counter wired correctly from what i can tell. Three mechanical gauges (boost, oil temp/pressure and water) I used two breakers from the battery (300a and 150a) I bought a 5 relay/10 fuse boar...

Project is practically complete, mechanically, apart from a custom propshaft and the wastegate exhausts. I've recently had a nightmare with the R324 front end as the kit was stored in the loft for 18 months after being painted and it warped horribly, so the fit is terrible. Pretty much sorted that t...

Tony, there was no direction of anger at you or anything else. I just forgot it was on auto-renew and that it came out of my paypal (it is the only thing I have ever setup apart from by ebay payments). I haven't used this forum regularly for at least a couple of years due to personal reasons/issues ...

I'm currently no further on with the car really. Everything else is done. I started, and acutally mostly completed a wiring loom, but nothing works

I cancelled my gold membership a long time ago (or thought I did), and was pretty pissed to see that it went out of my account last month. I don't have any direct debit set up for it but I have now realized it was setup through my paypal account and have been paying the annual subscription for years...

For the MegaSquirt part, follow the MegaSquirt external wiring diagram for your particular one. I'd ask your guy just why he thinks a separate relay is needed for injector power. It's not needed and simply adds complexity. The relay is for both injectors and cops. I am wiring in an isolation switch...

You don't need an extra relay for the 12v feed to the injectors. Just power them from the same one as MS, assuming the standard 30 amp auto type. Nor do you need to power things like the gauges and so on via a separate relay, as they are all low(ish) power. The fan would be best on a separate circu...

Ok so basically what I am doing at the moment is pretty similar to what Stevie says. Battery > FIA Kill Switch > 300amp breaker -> this line then splits to; > starter > inline 70amp fuse > 65A alternator > 150amp breaker > fuse/relay board The first relay will be the main/efi relay, which I am going...

I should be ok for the MS for now, following the instructions to the letter. I think my main issue was understanding 12v ignition and 12v permanent, I couldn't get my head round it. I have a little better knowledge now so after a few days off I am now trying to redraw my diagram, for like the 8th ti...

Ultimately you can do whatever you want. What 2 fuse boards has he ? Some for permanent lives and others ignition only or something ? As long as the push button can handle the current of the solenoid ok, I dont see an issue with a push button for starting ? Simple is good ! Basically yes, but I don...

So I have been at this for weeks, and particularly most of this weekend, and despite some great help from Richard I am still no closer to making a wiring diagram or getting my car wired. I am massively stressed about this and on the verge of abandoning it all to recoup some money. I have wired in th...

I did have ITBs for my 1UZ but sold them when i went turbo. There was no point in having them. They are probably a slight advantage on a high power n/a if setup correctly. Usually best to get a tuner who has experience and knows what they are doing. Was at a place in chesterfield yesterday fixing my...

What issues are you having with efi? What ecu are you running?

Haha don't worry about it I'm in a similar position. I'm finding as I go along, as usual, there are about 15 other jobs I forgot about first!

Well I am getting there very very slowly. made the ECU and gauge mount panel this weekend. Going to do the switch panel this week hopefully, then I can actually start the wiring itself.
