Hi guys. Well i have the attesa system sorted out.

Im intrested in how to instal a switch to kill the attessa. I dont want to have to leave the car, or pop the bonnet. Like pulling the fuse and thats a high amp fuse so the wire would have to be very big as i thing its for the entire system ecu hydraulic pump and so on.

I was wondering if i get a attessa ecu pin out i can just kill the contoller. Just was wondering how that would work. If i install a kill switch on the power supply for the ecu and do a burn out come to a stop and then power it up before reversing engaging the 4wd system again. Is this possible. ???

The purpose of this is to aid in traction by warming up the rear tires as the systems back bone is rwd.

Thanks in advance

And the only real trick is that the Attessa ECU is also the ABS ECU, so you won't have ABS until you turn off the ignition and back on again.

For drag use that is fine, you can do it all quickly. But for things like drifting it's worth keeping in mind.

No big fuse required, its no more than 10 or 15A

Thanks guys i do search hence these ideas. But i always regret not asking so i always make it a point to ask.

The fuse in the bonnet is a big one its like 30amps and the wire is thick. The attached photo will illustrate what i mean. Or is it a fuse inside the car if so its in japan. But i can remember having a English version of it. Ill have to look.

Seriously wtf. Most questions I have seen you post in the last 6 months have been covered many times before. And don't say you searched, because it just makes you look even lazier than you already do.

This makes no sense running on about.

By asking i learnt where the abs computer was. Oh but that was talked about millions of time the fu__ing car is just 25 years old whats there left to talk about???

I tollay understand what you mean by saying search harder

Ive been ridiculed like this for as long as ive been using this sight.. id like to say this.

One thing im not is lazy.

Next this site isnt just an archive of info its also a interactive site and when and after how ever long it takes someone to search info doesn't mean that they shouldnt ask a question just to see if there are better ways to do it. Technology does progress very fast and after looking at old post whats the problem getting interactive by asking few questions. Seems like people like new topics but thats not going to happen with a 25 plus year old car. But the technology used to run them can. Yeah ill look harder with that attitude i do believe what my uncle tells me. (90- 10 rule )90 percent of the prople makes 10% of the money and 10% of the people make 90% of the money. Wounder why that is maybe they should ask more questions. But guess what its been done countless times search harder. Sorry for leaving topic. Thanks for all those who have helped me. Cheers.

A tutorial

As for amperage of the wire if it is 30A fuse then go get 35/40A wire (I have some at home at it is not that thick)

If it is 10A then use 15/20A wire. Simples

A fuse does not blow at its exzact rating. It will blow above the rating so if you leave some room for the wire to handle the extra current then you will be a ok.

Indeed you have, refer to my earlier post.

Your uncle sounds like a clever guy. Except he must have left out the bit where the 10% of people that make 90% of the money are only making that money because they're not leaning on others to find ways to reinvent the wheel.

    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity.
    • 100% the factory sender is tapered, that is how it seals (well, that and teflon paste or tape)
    • Thanks folks - I've saved a few links and I'll have to think of potential cable/adapters/buying fittings. First step will be seeing if I can turn the curren abortion of a port into something usable, then get all BSPT'y on it. I did attempt to look at the OEM sender male end to see if it IS tapered because as mentioned you should be able to tell by looking at it... well, I don't know if I can. If I had to guess it looks like *maybe* 0.25 of a mm skinnier at the bottom of the thread compared to where the thread starts. So if it is tapered it's pretty slight - Or all the examples of BSPT vs BSPP are exaggerated for effect in their taper size.
    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
