More wiring

I've wired in the lambda sensor connection today which completed the megasquirt wiring. Over the past few weeks, I've wired in the engine spur of the premier loom and the various sensors to the digidash and Megasquirt. I changed my mind on how to route the engine loom. Orginally this was going to be routed along the top offside chassis rail, tapping off along the way to the various engine components, but couldn't see how to make this look neat. Instead the loom is now attached to the engine using P clips, the wires will be protected using loom tape or conduit once the connections have been tested and the engine successfully started.

After:

I found two tapped holes underneath the coil pack so these have been used to mount cable tie bases which in turn support the loom.

Having failed miserably to join and solder three wires together (switched live from the ignition barrel to premier loom to ECU) I found and bought two power jointing boxes, one for switched live connections and the other for permanent live. These have now been fixed to the back of the battery tray and wired in.


As per the Premier instructions a fuseable link has been fitted to the front of the battery tray although not yet connected.

Also this weekend, a header tank from a rover 25 has been mounted using the header tank's bracket.
