Reply to "EFI conversion of my Spyder"

I got a lot done today. I was happily wiring away when my coil bolts came in the mail.

So I took a break from wiring. I drilled and tapped the three holes. I had to put some ALB lightening holes in my bracket(but only for bolt clearance), there is a piece of steel angled under the flat part the coil bolts to. A bit of masking and paint and:

Then back to the wirework.

I tied up the O2 sensor wiring under the ECU, that came out a couple feet long. It's OK for now. Those Amazon crimpers are totally awesome. After over a dozen perfect crimps, I'm sold. I pull-tested every one. I don't think I'll ever solder another Molex pin again(that's how I did the Megajolt harness in 2008).

The fuse box is all done except for the injector harnesses, one for each side of the motor. Driver's side will also have the TPS. Passenger side will have the wires for head and intake air temperature sensors.

And all done for today. I powered it up, seems OK. Main relay clicks, then the fuel pump relay clicks on for 6 seconds to pressurise the system. O2 controller powers up and reads 19.0(no fuel i.e. full lean).

Tomorrow I'll get the laptop out and start testing. I'll pull the plugs and spin it over, checking for crank signal. Then I'll throw a timing light on it and verify a fixed(10 degree) value.

If that checks out, new plugs in and FIRE it UP! Maybe load a spark curve first LOL?
