Its all gone mighty quiet in here
Maybe I better get my arse into gear and do someting more interseting than what I am
Had very little time recently, and this is an update of what I've done since I last posted (all 3 hours worth today lol)
Here is the temperature adapter I bought, it converts the 1/8 NPT temperature sender to another thread.
I measured the plug I had next to the thermostat, and luckily got it right. It's a 1/8 npt to 5/8 unf thread. This allows me to measure the coolant temperature in the head, next to the thermostat. £10 from demon tweaks but seemed more elegant and reliable that tapping the thermostat.
I have also fitted a cutom fuel pipe length as the moulded fiat one got in the way of the intake. It's stainless wrapped to prevent wear and tear.
To rewire the loom I popped to a local scrappy and got a full bravo 1.4 engine loom for £10 to strip for wire. It also had the relevant connector I needed for the coil pack.
I rewired the coil leads to fit the newer style coil, splicing two together. The older coils run two leads (4 wires), this newer coil runs on one connector, 3 wires.
I also extended the TPS and another sensor wire (what is it, is not the map or tps, so its..?). It involved 7 wires, 14 solder joints and wasn't the quickest job, all heat shrunk and long enough now. Only one more sensor to extend.
I also blocked the breather vacuum inlet and presure regulator vent on the TB.
Will have a bit more time to do some tommorrow evening, so hopefully get all the soldering done. Then the TB and inlet can go on properly.
hope your all still enjoying the progress....seeing Emma's runnign really make me want to get this done ASAP!
