Question on Reverse Inlet Manifold wiring

[s2_bo]

I'm in the middle of fitting a Wagner IM so i need to extend the Throttle Body plug cable, the Inlet Temperature Sensor cable and possibly the ISV plug cable too as they are all to short to reach the front of the engine bay.

Can these just be chopped extended with insulated cable and rejoined by soldering and insulating? Or is there another method to extending bits of the Loom?


Thanks.
Bo

That will work, if well done. Don't use too thin wires, and try to find a good path for the new cabling.

what about the throttle cable does that reach ok? what you have just mentioned would be the way i would go

I got a new cable: 893 721 555 R
I think its from a V6 apparently that fits spot on.

Cheers.

ideal i was wondering what was done there if there was a cable to fit or if it was a lenghten job

Would it not be easier to take wiring and cable off UrS4 as the position of the wiring and cable is situated closer to the front end?..Sure it would be a case of just plugging via bulkhead so no soldering to worry about

[s2_bo]

Sure that would most likely work better, but i have no UrS4 loom to butcher and i need the car back on the road ASAP. But what your saying makes sense and is undoubtably the better option.

and, how's the car now?

btw: how did you solve the plumbing from IC to the IM?

[terrybullwon]

Wonder if the tempurature sensor needs a thermo couple?

As the solder may send it out of sync?

A low rated T type

Huh ?

The IAT is a thermistor that converts air temp to a resistance value. All thats needed here is a good cable joint - soldered or crimped so as to extend the wiring.

I would solder them and use heat-shrink insulation. Or alternatively make up a 2 or 3 pin extension cable by butchering a spare old loom that has the suitable connectors.

I cut all the cables, then extended them with insulated cable of the same size. Soldered, crimped and lined with heat-shrink rubber.

All working well and no problems so far

There are details of plumbing and cabling on my project thread.

Bo, Could you put pictures and details in this thread so we can make it a sticky please?

It will be easier to reference than your project thread in searches and as i'm doing the same a BTDT is always welcome
