Hey ppl,

I just removed the factory steering wheel and fit a MOMO wheel in its place.

Question is the momo comes with one black earth wire with a clip, and has two terminals on the back of the horn. There are about 5 horn wires that I clipped from the 'line... anyone got any ideas which are what? The wires I'm talking about are the ones from the clip towards the bottom of the steering wheel that goes from the column to original horn.

Also... since I removed the original horn clip/plug my quiktrak seems to be playing up. Were any of those wires used for something else? It seems to play up whenever I leave the Turbo Timer on.?

puzzled....

I am not sure how different the 33 is but...

I just fitted a new momo wheel to my 32 on Christmas day. The stock wheel had the two wires running from the horn button - one went to ground in the steering wheel and the other went to the power supply behind where the wheel goes on.

The momo button has 2 connections - one for power and one for ground. The power one goes in the centre of the button and the ground is the one near the side, with that symbol printed on it. I was in a bit of a dilema on where to put the ground because there was no connections for it like the stock wheel had. I just stripped the wire and wrapped it around (under) the main bolt which fixes the boss kit on. Then fastened the bolt on. It works fine. I HAD to get it to work because I fitted airhorns about 2 months ago :D

Do you have airbag? not sure why there is five wires there...

dun noe about the 33 but when i fit the momo on my 32, i took extra precaution to ensure it does not affect the hicas... also made sure that one of the clip on the horn is in contact with the metal part of the steering column so that my horn still works.

my advise is to get it to a specialist and get the car realigned again.... any disturbance to the steering wheel may or may not affect the hicas.

my 2 cents.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
