Hi all,

Ive searched about everywhere but nothing seems to be the same issue that I may have.

Doing auto to manual conversion in m s2 r33 gtst bought the conversion kit with absolutely everything down to the ecu came with loom from manual thru to power cable at fuse box this loom has on it Knock sensors, starter motor power, starter solenoid power, 3 cables to connect to manual, power steering solenoid ect im sure I have forgotten a few.

My question is I removed 2 separate sort of looms when removing the auto 1 was connected to the auto only and ran right up and pluged in at what I can only describe is the front chassis rail drivers side near radiator. The second loom had all the knock sensors and starter motor crap on it

The loom I removed has a lot more plugs than the one supplied with the conversion kit does this sound normal to people can anyone enlighten me or do I have to get the wiring diagram and go over it myself im hoping for the lazy way out and one of you guru's can give me some advice.

cheers,

I've just completed the ,annual conversion and have wired up the reverse lights and the neutral sensor correctly. Now I am just wondering the speedo and oil pressure gauge are not currently working and the power steering is slightly heavy and hicas light is on. Assuming I have not wired these up as the plus is different on the manual gearbox loom.

Anyone confirm where the wires are or n which plug on thE car side (car originally an auto).

Thanks

Manual speedo sensor is in approximately the same spot on the lower right hand side of the manual box as it is on the auto box.

When you say "have wired up" does this mean you have run fresh cables for those switches, or does it mean that you have put in the manual driver's side engine bay and gearbox loom like the OP did? Because putting in the whole side loom is far easier than doing it in bits and pieces. Regardless, the original 2 wires for the auto speed sensor will just as happily carry the pulses from the manual's speed sensor.

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
