CA18DET Preparation 3                 Last Updated: 16/03/2007
So leaving wiring mysteries behind for now I wanted to see how easy this CA will go in the engine bay...a few hiccups with the practice motor
First hiccup the engine crane doesn't roll under the car - it hits the lower control arms!
So I had to jack up the front a little
It just clears the rad support with the crane on full lift
Couldn't get it to drop in straight with the lifting points I had chosen...I aborted about here to rethink a little.
Might as well start getting the turbo motor ready for fitment in the engine bay. So alternator on...had to give it a few love taps with the rubber mallet to get it on.
Undo the water pump bolts to attach the alternator bracket.
So here's the wires I'm left with...have to find something to link this up to in the engine bay.
Probably some of these
These are all still a mystery too...some of them look like indicator wires - have no idea about that white plug in pic 2...
Plugged in the EFI harness to the CA18DET
Need to wire the knock sensor into the EFI harness too
I also removed the stock engine mounts from the CA - don't need them with the custom cross member.
