Happy new year people, whats been going on with my car you may ask?

Well its been absent from a track day now for over a year which makes me very sad.
Realistically this has been caused mostly by a bad wiring job and in-effective engine management system.
The worst part of that above statement is that I paid someone to do it

So because i enjoy car wiring so much ( Lol Jokes )
Ive started again from scratch with an OEM AE111 loom and manual ECU.

I often hear people comlplaining  about  about poor drivability on cold start
and from heavy fuel use with some aftermarket ecu’s

One thing i have noticed that my car needs half a dozen more sensors that the aftermarket unit didn’t.
Its no wonder why some after market units perform poorly

Although this has been a real set back for me I know that its the right decision;
long term for the car and its reliability
So for those playing at home its
the third wiring harness and second ECU for the car.

See you soon 🙂

Its like everything i do with this engine conversion is a struggle, i feel like the car is fighting me.
Having a sook to some friends of mine recently i was describing my frustrations with the whole process and that ive never encountered something i couldnt do with no time limit.
This is really starting to kill me!

However, there has been some progress with the help of my friends ive managed to rig up a setup to correctly set ignition base timing.
Although when we tried to fire the motor it still wouldnt run!
The picture below shows why, fouled the hell out of the spark plugs!
Theres always tomorrow 🙂
