hi,

can anyone help me out with wiring a nissan ca18det turbo engine into my haynes roadster, as im useess at wiring!
ive got the complet nissan so ive got all the looms.
ive got the ecu and engine loom separeted fine, its the starter loom i dont understand ie for the starter motor, alt and fuel pump, also how do you get power to the ecu?
the car is only for track use ,so will only need a button for starting.



thanks mike

Are you making a new fuse box, or reusing the loom and fusebox from the Nissan? If you wanted to make life easier, I'd just remove all the extras from your fusebox, then modify the cable lengths to suit. Would save a lot of hassle if you aren't comfortable with making a bespoke loom.

Thats all i have done used the engine loom from the nissan at married it up with the loom on the car by doing it that way its just various power and earths ie battery feed, ignition only feed and start only feed

Did you find a solution to this? I have the same engine, but gave up on the ECU and went with an AEM. I didn't get it to work, and am getting rid of the car, I think.
