MX5 Fun Car – Wiring Check


Had a chance today to bench test the wiring loom and make sure it should all work properly. Snapped a few pretty pics when i did that too:

Biggest pain was the LS2 coil plugs:

Just less flexible wire, and having to overlap the heatshrink made for a bit of a tight fit. But worked fine.

Made up a bracket for the ECU and wideband:

Some people have asked me what sort of connectors I have used. Well, some are factory for ease of swapping parts over:

While some are DTM or DT for various items. All the body connections (all 8 wires worth) are Deutsch DT, and the IAT and Coolant temp are DTM.
Plenty of room on the Cas and Cnk sensor wires to be able to shorten and swap to potted DTM/DT connectors if the need arises.

Injector of course are standard Bosch:

All up its not as nice as some i have seen and worked with, and its certainly not motorsport/milspec quality. But its functional and will work well enough.
