I’ve decided to swap out these old carrozzeria ts-a70w in the rear parcel shelf for some pioneers while I’m sound deadening, I’m looking at the wiring and none of it makes sense it’s all mixed up and a mess…. 
 

any ideas am I better off running new lines there is a lot going on in the boot with wires running everywhere and terminals everywhere.

Looks like it's going to an amplifier somewhere.

Might as well rip out the lot and run a new amp, and head unit with Android Auto / crApple Car Play

There’s no amp looks like at one stage there was as there is a separate black plug laying back there.

 

considered Apple car play but the double din means i sacrifice my aircon or gauges haha

The original soundsystem had a small amp hanging under the parcel shelf. Thus, the original speaker wires in the rear only go as far as that amp. The input wires to that amp came from the front of the car and that may well be the loose plug.

There is absolutely no way that anyone who is not present standing at your car can help you understand that bunch of wires in your photos. It has clearly been modified away from what the original wiring was, and thus we can't know what we're looking at.

You just need to put in time and effort to identify where those wires come from. Once you understand that, you can then decide on what you want to do with them. If they are good sized speaker wires that possibly came with the previous speakers and the connectors on them will suit your new speakers and you're happy to run them from whatever amplifier (ie, even just the headunit) that they're currently already connected to....then you could just reuse them.

If they have been hacked and twisted together and so on, then abandon ship and start afresh.

I might start fresh, there’s just to much going on to understand and no auto elec will come look at it for 2 speakers for a reasonable price lol and I’ve already done the front speakers myself.

I ended up pulling the wires and found only the green and grey lead to the stereo, the yellow and black were connected to nothing and just pulled them out

      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?
