I don't have the answers your looking for but I do want to warn you that using insulated terminals on an engine loom is a very bad idea and asking for trouble.
hey all
1983 ae86 sprinter
4age 20v silvertop (26 pin 16 pin 12 pin connector)
i've ditched the original ecu and gone with a microtech lt10s and the x4 ignition module
i've started doing some wiring on the conversion but i really cannot seem to find a decent wiring diagram ( and if i do its in japanese with dubbed english on sensors but the not colour on the wires!)
i have figured out most of the wiring but this is my first attempt at wiring in an after market ecu too.
i can't seem to find anything to give me specifics on the following three plugs for there pin out or what i should be wiring them too
Oxygen sensor ( does the heater circuit stay on all the time ? )
Throttle position
Distributor
this is the wiring pin out i've gone off mainly
All helps and hints muchly appreaciated!

Last 1uz I wired was with Microtech and didn't wire the O2 heater at all, had no issue I noticed.
But maybe someone else can shed some light on the subject.
And Sam is right, cut, solder, wrap and heat shrink or you are going to have all sorts of random issues!
Am i reading this right, your splicing in to existing wiring at the stock ECU plugs for the Microtech?
Didn't it come with a full flying loom?

It appears twisty is trying too wire a Microtech into the factory loom?
Hence he needs to know what the factory pin out is to adapt it to the microtech plugs.
Ht pin is earthed by the ecu during cold startup... Powered off ign power

110% true sam! crimp terminals are the devil! one thing i learn't with soldering 02 sensor wires is because of the properties of tin you need to use bakers soldering flux to make the solder stick anywise you will not get anywhere! so i am very certainly going to change it but not until i have in my head around how i am going to wire up the car first, that harness came with the engine to suit a 86 and there are so many bad things no wonder why it was doing sus things! like whoever wired up the 20v to the 86first of all wired the fuel pump to the ecu ignition on wire!?! it looks worse in real life
Thanks futo! i shall need to have a sit down with the diagrams and see if i can work it out, i can't really find the right plug colours still but i will still look again with more time
Matt ht??
Ok so this is what i was planning to do, because i bought the ecu 2nd hand along with the harness which is chopped everywhere looks like this
i thought i would just cut the plugs off the old engine harness and lengthen the microtech harness to suit up nicely-but its not that easy from what i have been doing because the 20v harness has been hacked by someone too its quite the headache..
so new attempt was just to use the microtech loom and lengthen it so i can sit the ecu where i want it in the car,
Am i going about this all wrong?
Cheers twisty
Nah, all good now you've explained it.
Resin core work s threat, but i use blow torch gas soldiering iron coz I'm impatient.
haha nice,
I rang microtech today to get some info & prices...i didn't realise i can get a sensor kit! to replace the sensors- making it alot easier perhaps?? i'm not sure... but now i have talked to microtech i shall be using just the microtech loom it self no factory loom and try to get away with using the factory sensors if i can
cheers twisty
I've never used "Microtech sensors" with one of there looms.
The factory sensors will work fine.
They can sell you a new loom if you want, but what you have there would work just fine.
cheers! looks like round two...see how i go for time to get a good start on it this weekend
