All great things have a beginning

Decided to alter the wiring harness for the engine/ecu today as I had an ignition loom made up to use  4 individual smart coils. Checked my emails and I got this 7 years ago

These 4 wire hangining out are the old wires from the ignition in the harness, I have no idea where the other ends are, I'm simply leaving them in as I'm nit pulling the harness in bits to removed them

The 4 red wires in the plug are for the new ignition signal wires

The smart coils require a direct feed from the battery, had them give me about 4 metres of cable in the harness so I can mount the battery in a good location.

Has a relay and fuse

Labelled up nice so I know where to put the wires with crimp rings on

Coil plug wires marked up nicely for me, leading 1, leading 2
Trailing 1 and trailing 2

1 is the front rotor
2 is the rear rotor

Each rotor also has it own ground, without this ground on the designated rotor housing the coils won't work from what I remember

Relays for everything, labelled up so self explanatory. Also got the fuses.

I will have to mount all these on something but no where near that at the moment.

Need to buy some AEM smart coils as sold mine to Clive a while back, and also some plug wires to make up leads, also need some spark plugs.... Those bits on their own are probably best part of £600, which once I'm back at work I shall be purchasing

Rest of the harness, not much too it really compared to what I pulled off this car, basically injectors, temp sensors, Crank position sensor, there's a huge amount of extra wiring which I think can be used for anything you need, which for me will be pressure sensors, oil and boost, and I think this Ecu can do PWM which I will use on the water injection kit iv got.

They ain’t bad Jon even without the covers/padding.

I’m sure I’d change my tune after a few laps, pots holes or speed bumps

Iv been sat in it for 20 mins, quite comfy really, the angle back is just perfect too, going to see if I can use the seat rails for the mx5 with this seat so I can move the seat backwards and forwards rather than having it in a fixed position, means someone else shorter or taller could have a go in it them

I paid 150quid for the seat and covers by the way, guy from Scotland sold it to me years ago and just last year he messaged me asking if I would sell it back too him
