Jon you have managed to disguise well the fact you have swapped out clive single turbo for your twins, so well in fact that the twins look like a single turbo lol

Engine bay looks great. Iâ€™d want too move that air filter into the flow of some direct cold air though if it is possible clive??

Clive, another question..
When you put the coil feed power from the battery cut off switch to the coils...did you add this in addition to engine loom feed or disconnect engine loom feed...it's joined in the aem loom which I haven't touched ...the coils should be cut from the engine loom feed as if you needed to use battery cut off switch this is to kill engine as may run on...also it's a direct feed...there's no fuse on it at all which it will now have i will put it on a 30amp maxi.

It's ok Clive...I went out and continuity tested between the coil feed and 2 engine feeds no continuity so all good...

,,,,there was however another wire on the race cut off switch that fried my brain,,, what where,,,why ehhhhgghhh!...think i sussed it old feed to engine fuse....that does coil feed among other things that it now does nothing as removed...but it went to the engine loom power plug and didnt come out other side ....

Sorry I wasn't around to help, but you have sussed it anyway, well done

Thanks mate, tomoz depending on how I feel and when I get up from nights tackling the additional wiring for switches n relays...goona start again me thinks just easier...gonna use a 12 core yy 0.75 cable all numbered so can be neat n tidy. 1 for switch feed.12 v .each switch signal 2 3 4 5 etc and go from there...signals into one fuse box and make use of redundant fuses and relays...these will be relabelled.
Still not finalised on resting place for pcm and fuse box passenger floor probably.

With the rewriting and use of larger size cables and better earthing I would hope the ignition will have crisped up a bit, few extra volts in the spark

Lol it ain't running yet...happy when running and throttle works...Clive will have to test it carefully and check for limp mode etc as can't test for that here...we can scan test and make sure no naughty codes in there. There will be loads i had 10 in Westy that come on due to the missing sub systems b4 I got them turned off on Mazda edit. I was gonna suggest to Clive a rolling road session to check it b4 an expensive race day.....or at least some road testing on trade plates. Quietly confident but not arrogant...we all make mistakes so triple checking everything don't wanna smoke a Â£1k ecu...the standalone adaptronic would be easy in comparison but we work with what we've got and Clives got a lovely tune in it the exhaust tailpipe shows that.
