Geez! At 32:00 of this video, I just realized that I never grounded that Trigger wheel pickup to my 20b that I wired up back in 2009 with my Haltech E11v2. I run the FD trigger setup. I had soo many other complexities going on with my setup back then that I over looked this small little thing. It was my 1st ecu wireup back then so it makes sense I'd miss something. This little over sight may explain all the little gremlins I've had with my setup over the years. Now that the engine is out for intake rehab and ecu upgrade, I'll make sure I won't miss this going forward. Thx for sharing.
you just have to ground one side of the shield (if you done both side it don't work),the otrher way is to twist them(it reduce the noise on it) for the ground of all the sensor(if you whant good value you need to connect it to the electronic ground of the ECU not the chassis(bad signal may occure if you do that) the chassis ground is just for power actuator(they are less sensitive than sensor)but you may have a good ground for them if you don't whant to get some trooble when it run. sorry for my bad english!
Looks impressive Erich, sure like your talking me through your extensive rewiring endeavor! You'll work out any bugs left over in the long scheme of things!
Super good videos.. having trouble onnmy 10thAE RX-7 FT-450, and TPS , Sensor , and speed sensor somehow.. and havnt been able to crank it over yet.. 20:38
79 Mazda RX7 soooo rare! These cars are amazing and light. Yes sir, best way to wire a car is keep the chassis harness separate from your engine harness. That's how my build is. It's the way to go.
Simple fix need true ignition i dont think is black and white.. but man what Great inspiration man , ive had this 10thAE for 25years , got really sick and it had sat for about 7 years. But all new setup. Thanks for your help. Where you 48:58 from?
8AWG is recommended on the coil feed and I would do a larger gauge going to injector also. I found out the hard way. Injector power wire was too small and it literally was like a rev limiter 😂
I am absolutely no expert on this kind of thing but can you pin to the firewall eg put a removable loom connector so you can disconnect the entire engine bay harness from the ecu without cutting wires? Just if you were wanting to add additional sensors at a later stage. Do you still have to have a seperate loom for lights, turn signals, etc or can this be run by the ecu. I have to say the wiring bamboozles me a bit although it really is only a positive and negative wire to create a circuit. Liked the video maybe something I can tackle. 😊
Yea those bulkhead connectors are great and would be awesome to have. I am anticipating removing the stock harness in its entirety at some point and that will call for the bulkhead connectors. And building sub harnesses for each section.
Can i wire the fueltech into my pre existing oem harness? Id probably have to run new ground wires but other than that, would it be possible and perform well?
C’mon 15,000!!!!!! Thanks Erich!
Bwrraap spring time in Manitoba Canada time to fire up the rx8 for the first drive of the year
Also in manitoba, the weather is definitely fantastic
I’d say best day of the year today so far. cheers bud

good progress 👍

Awesome video. Great information.
When the chance presents itself I'd like to see an fd auto manual conversion
LETS FUCKING GO also just clearanced rx8 side seals to .15mm and got less compression then a clearance of .4 mm 😂 ty for video

I think I did it with 12awg for both places. I guess I'll see how it runs and starts before I swap it, hopefully it doesn't cause issues
@@RADPotential 8AWG is just to feed the relay from battery to be clear. 12awg should do fine after the relay. I have 2 relays as far as coils go also.
Ok! Perfect. I have 8 feeding the relays. The output of the relay is 12 to then split into the 20 or 22 that feeds each individual unit
Do you have any videos detailing the difference between REW and fc rotors, housings etc?
Thank your for all your content!
Yes there is a video awhile back that goes thru it all.
@@RADPotential thank you sir!

How do you feel about the fueltech FT-450 "Terminated " harness? 34:36

Ironic timing :3 I just got a megasquirt in a sunfire to run for first time.
Nice build! What battery is that?
It’s a noise thing and they draw a bunch.
