one wire goes to the back of the starter(big red), one goes to the coil feed (med black), one to the fuel pump(red/blue), one to the rev counter(green) & the last one goes to the old choke light(brown/white or yellow, i can't remember) to use as the eml.
it is a 10 minute wire up on a 1.2, the rest of the 1.2 engine loom is simply reused.
Okay, so where do those wires wire upto? the ecu?
Never owned an injected car,
the mpi engines have their own engine loom. you label up your 1.2 loom as you undo it, then when the 1.6 engine & box get fitted, you fit the sender & starter/alternator wires, then you connect the wires that i said above from the efi loom. & when the efi tank& pump are installed, it simply starts & is actually quite underwhelming... then you drive it.
are still underwhelmed and start thinking about whether you can insure a 2.0/whether a 16v would be better in my caseOriginally Posted by mowgli
after a 1.2, a 1.6 is a great fun step, and about doubling the hp is a good enough boost for a start. i just know what would happen if i stuck an xe in my car, and i don't think you lot would come to the wake
Cheers Mowgli your an actual legend, can someone please + rep him for me
And feel free to nep rep me peoples for my complete noobness, but you gotta learn sometime
And i really cba with a 2.0 xe, wanna make it to over 21
I just found mine felt slow despite "performing 100bhp quick" as me and CG decided on putting it
Im not too bothered about speed tbh, as im not a real fast driver, probably due to having a 1.2 for nearly 2 years
Just want something with a little bit more poke
i loved my e16se, it was great as a daily (i used to get about 30mpg with the occasional 'spirited drive' and i kind of wish i never sold it in bits but im getting a 20xe over crimbo
