My 3B to RS2 project

[newsh]

Fixed the blocked injector

Just need a way to hold the injectors in the rail now. I'm a bit pissed off as I thought these would be a perfect fit.

It lives!

It started pretty much staight up but sounded lumpy, pulled the plug lead for Cyl 1 = no change.
Tried a plug in it and got a spark.
Tried a spare injector plugged into the loom which was ticking, plugged back up and thought I could hear the injector ticking with screwdriver in the ear, swapped the new EV14 750 for the old Deka 630 and it runs on 5.

So now I'm wondering why one of my new injectors is not working. Brand new, just been sitting in a sealed bag in a box in the garage since they arrived fro O-Five.

Or maybe I was hearing the other injectors ticking down the fuel rail. Need to do output test.

Also need to get some clips to hold the injectors into the rail, if I push on the connector the injector drops in the manifold and pops out of the rail spraying fuel all over the place. The clips from the 3B rail dont fit, I'm thinking the EV14s dont have a groove for the clip?

Sounds simple enough to type out but I'd imagine you've put some hours into it in the last few days!

Good stuff.

It's all wired, ECU pin swap done and mods to original loom sorted.

034 HO coils mounted and wired apart from plug leads which have to make up to length and a new set of NGKs to fit.

EV14 injectors, ABY fuel rail and lines fitted. General tidying done.

I'm waiting for a set of heater controls, hopefully from Gripper. I may bypass the heater matrix just to see if it runs!

Think I've sussed it with help from S2 Central http://www.s2central.net/S2_Schematics/B/B73.PDF

The 2 x 4 pins connectors just have the 5 new wires from the ECU, 3 in one and 2 in the other, the 2 x 3 pin ones just have power from S32! Simples!

[newsh]

Pin swap is done, there's a bunch of tidying to do now.

Also, I have to terminate the 5 coil wires and the power to the assorted bunch of connectors on the five coil loom, I need a pinout for that too!

[newsh]

Anyway, **** it, I'm going to do the pin swap in a bit.

I think I have a glove box, I've been collectoing parts for so long I've forgotten, I'll have a look later, if not that would be fab. I need the non AC controls and cables now though, I felt sure that the basic AC would use the same parts with the switches bolted onto the side..

Massive size difference between the two boxes isn't there. That is one manky looking matrix!
Do you need a non-ac glovebox? I have one here surplus to requirements - free to you mate

Heater box swap, scary pics, only took an hour and a half to get to this.






Just for the record, the 2 boxes side by side, the dead matrix and the missing and rotten foam on the flaps!

Looks great John, I'm going to give mine a try back on the stock springs when my second set of Compbrake top mounts arrive this week. The H&R's are no advantage on bumpy roads though their bloody good on decent surfaces, need to be sure I'm 100% happy with it before I get the alignment done properly.

Very nice John, i encountered the same problem fitting your 3b seats to a cabrio. After all these years i never noticed the lever switched sides on later cars. I did it a different way, i didnt have any material to knock up a mount for the back support at home so i made 2 brackets at work to switch the locking pin to the other side of the centre mount on the car floor.
Seen a few 3b's with RS2 seats fitted over the years but couldn't find and mention of a solution on the forum. One to remember for 3B owners looking for RS2 Recaro's.

Time for me to make a couple of these then, how appropriate that it was Martin who made them and posted the pics in this thread!

That's one fresh looking coupe

I've been looking for the BBS centre caps all week, today I remembered they're OZs though

Really been enjoying the car again this last few weeks.

The next phase is about to start now.
Dash out, remove last bits of aircon, fit non-aircon heater box with new matrix.
Fit / modify loom for 5 coil conversion.
Fit 034 HO coils, ABY ECU.
Get remapped by Dimitri

Just need some BBS centre caps now
