Hey guys, as you can see there is a few quite alot of wiring action going on at the back the engine, Has anyone relocated these sensors/plugs or what ever they are ect? Im thinking they're in a vulnerable spot in terms of getting to hot considering they're jammed up at the back of then engine bay around the cam covers.
any advice on how to get these sh**ts out of the way would be much appreciated

Can anyone tell me where and how to relocate all these wires!? it just looks messy!

I wouldnt worry about heat

I have a wiring harness running a few inches away from turbo/wastegate/exhaust running 23psi and just shy of 300rwkw at the moment and all I have on it is heat wrap. No melting yet

it does look fairly hideous though, How come all that stuff is there like that? Removed for some reason and never properly put back?

My O2 sensor plug isn't happy. The plug is nearly lost its shape and the wiring that is close to that region has brittle coating. That top half of the engine isn't so bad, I'd be more concerned about anything you have near the hot side.

yeah @89CAL initially i was going put it back together but while i wasdoign the engine swap all the mounts and brackets were lost :/

And hence the reason why i was asking Ben, Do you think it would be to complicated or time consuming?
I hate having them just flopping around there any knowledge as to how to move them would be appreciated.

Well to move them it's easy.

Pull apart the loom and then shorten or extend the wires to where you want them. Preferably on the inlet side so it's cooler

If it was me i would just make a couple of simple brackets for where they are and call it a day.

      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?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
