Right keyless receiver got my head in a spin...as part of immobiliser circuit and all though receives open signal from remote was concerned about wiring...quick call to Nick 13brotorsports and he kindly went out to his car to confirm that to start car does not need to be part of circuit...phew...my Westy is locked in neighbours garage so couldnt use mine as test...Thanks Nick!
Slow start due to above and picking apart loom to correct to get correct colours to lengthen accelerator cable...but alas not long enough...so been to work and got somenumber multicore cable so few hrs behind today...poppet been helping though...

2.Maf cable in.
3. Immobiliser circuit made up.
4. Canbus cables in situ.
5. Dash part done power in can bus. Wanna power up and see what we got..

Then trying to sure out alternator and fuse box big power wiring...it's all in a black sleeving so a few pics to Jog Clives memory.

CLIVE.
ok so power comes from Batt through race isolator...through bulkhead onto...this bus bar. Yellow cable splits into 2 cables...I believe 1 goes to alternator...( frayed). And other to fuse box. ( white)... another white through fuse book goes to starter...think that's right all covered in black oily sleeving.
Solenoid feed blue/ red there as well.
And a stray cable hanging done...black.
So I wanna pull this into dash passenger side to feed fuse box...?
Alternator..control small cables red And green?.

I think best bet Clive is to disconnect it all...that frayed cable needs addressing...and redo. Pull the power coupler into cabin along with fuse box...I've got a lug crimper...just no lugs but can go and get some...?

Tackling power wiring around alternator this afternoon needed morning to man up for it....did some chassis wiring back to pcm/ fuse box.
1. Fuel sender wiring.
2. Bolted down Omp on top of tunnel secure and outta way of water spray grit etc. Easy accessible If throws a fault.
3. Some bench wiring of pcm plugs, x referring to drawings and marking drawings.....Yep you get set of drawings Clive.
4. Rad Fan wiring, transponder and pass headlight wiring in.

Oi Clive...."got my own oily car to crawl under" rofl...
Right alternator and starter sorted...im hang in might have a netflix day tomoz...I bumped into my sprayer mate and he hasn't started painting my eunos yet so some respite...

I'm junking the plastic box the ecus are going on the back of the firewall with a yet to be made bracket/clamp...own fuse box to right of passenger footwell with a joint loom between them. More room poss get a passenger seat in there and tyres as that's where there transported.

Anyways alternator n starter wired up cables through a gland in trans tunnel..Will be last to connect when little wires done...few piccys.

Question for you Clive...your on a rising rate fpr? Whats the max pressure your running the 044 at? The pressure effects the current draw been reading 19amps at 6bar...an idea of your max press. Would help me determine what I wire it in...relay n cable.
