Gti6 Lacking Spark

[Spiky 37]

nothing wrong at all. Just dreading doing the wiring! I'm gona start it this weekend hopefully. I take it its best to do the looms with the engine out?

 

 

if you want the send the 205 loom (two brown connectors) and gti6 loom, i'll mate most up for you????

 

i did my conversion, with engine and loom in the car (205) and just labelled the wires up and soldered them together

cheers for the offer mate may take you up on that. But first i want to see if i can do it myself. I've got wiring diagrams off here so will have a look at those first. Thanks again

[Spiky 37]

ok cool, label them up esp the 306 loom as it has numbers on each cable

 

it's easy then

Well impressed Spiky, what a shame that had to happen though with the exhaust, brake/fuel lines. Bummer! There's always sumat!! I'm just over the moon it actually runs, after all this time! There's a lot of doubters who i know, but anythings possible! Cheers spike, good man!

hopefully by the end of the week, (baby pending) i should have it ready for you

 

no when i say ready, as much as i can sort for you

 

rear brake is an issue and drive shaft.

 

but fingers crossed we can sort most of the rest out

Well in mate, glad you got it sorted!

[Spiky 37]

well all the wiring now pretty much complete, except the reversing lights, (never got them working on mine either..lol)

 

so here are some pics from tonights progress

 

just awaitint a oil pressure sensor from an S16, so he can have a working gauge, then i can fit rad and see how it is

 

[Spiky 37]

oh and the rev counter works too

You're dam good, i cant believe the footwell looks like that now haha. It's like it has never been fondled with! And the engine bay.. 1000x better, soo not used to seeing it like that heh! Brill!

ECU on the usual position under the dash by the steering column?

[Spiky 37]

god no, as i'd have to extend every cable

[welshpug 1,657]

lol I cant see it in the engine bay that's all haha!

[Spiky 37]

lol...

 

it's sat on the roof of my car

 

it will some how fit under the expansion bottle, no where else to go

[Phil H 16]

Great post to read, well done to all concerned for resolving the issues. Group hug time ?

[Spiky 37]

ok, final touches tonight

 

had ir running, and it holds water, not run it hot hot yet thought

 

the exhaust needs work, as i thing the downpipe to manifold needs work and the joins need work, but thats somethig for rossi to sort once he got it

 

but the dredded mechanic strikes again

 

i thought the engine sat a touch to low, so i took the engine mount off, see if you can see the problem in the pictures,

 

also noticed he has exteneded the bottom arm to much so another small job for rossi

 

the rear brake line i have crimped, but i'd not like to drive it like that

 

the fuel pipe is a bodge to get it running too, so again, needs sorting

 

need an air filter

 

also needs the ECU mounted secure, as i have just cable tied it in place

 

but on the plus side,

 

ALL the gauges work, it ticks over fine,

You want ot look for a plastic battery box from a 306 to mount the ECU in the engine bay, You can see it just behind the battery on this pic with the blue diagnostics plug in the top of it. I had to move the expansion tank slightly left ot get it to fit snugly, but it makes it a lot more watertight and factory looking

Well, the pug is back with me and i'm chuffed to bits with what spiky's done. Really good work, It fires up straight away, no hesitation. Still a fair bit of work to be spent on it, but at least the tedious part (wiring) is 99% complete!

Gave it a well deserved wash today, 1st wash in waay over a year heh.

My BBM kit came today but no one was there to sign for it

I'm looking for some gti6 brakes in time, so if anyone has some for sale, give me a bell.
