Installing A Standalone Wire Harness In A Classic Porsche 911
Вставка

- The most critical element in my ITB EFI project is the standalone wire harness. In this video we fit the new wire harness from Technica Racewire to my classic Porsche 911 and tie it into the cars existing factory wire harness. I found the best spot to mount the Emtron ecu and new fuse/relay panel.
Here's a link to Technica Racewire - technicaracewire.com/
Here's the pin extractor tool set that I used in the video - amzn.to/3yR29YQ

Step by step, that’s the way tog o. Great guide for a possible switch to efi
Great job Tom
Right now I'm doing almost exactly the same with my 930 turbo, except I'm using Haltech 2500 instead of Emtron, I'm also doing a drive by wire conversion, that really cleaned the engine bay a lot. Thanks for all your videos and appreciate that you give up your time for such a great content.
Very cool! What throttle body are you using? Thanks for watching👍
nice! would be great to see your conversion. I recently converted my SC to efi & turbo, using EMU Black .
@@GarageTimeAutoResto I'm using a 996 76mm Bosch DBW throttle body along with a 996 pedal.
@@911engineguy I knew about the EMU Black after I purchased the Haltech, if I knew about it before that I would buy it, it seems the best ECU currently in the market.
We know how grass and leaves get inside the car. (Nudge, wink)
Great job Tom... I love seeing the details of jobs like this.
Thanks so much !
Great video
Thanks!
Big fan of the 911/914
At 20:23, you talked about fiberglass wire sleeve. Can you go into more detail what that is? A type of heat shrink?
Sure, it's an expandable and flexible fabric sleeve. The cheap stuff is made of Polyetherne or Nylon. The fiberglass stuff is high temperature and more abrasion resistant. This is what Technica Racewire uses.

Progress…thanks for posting your wiring adventures! Can you provide a link to the “fiberglass” wire sheathing you spoke of? Wait…read the comments…you provided one! Thx! 😀👍👍
Thanks and glad you found it. 👍
This part is always interesting, working out how to wire everything neatly, routing cables etc. I ended up making one panel to mount the ECU, relays and fuses to keep everything tidy. It's not a trivial job, that's for sure... Good luck sorting this one out, looks like you're on the right track. Do you prefer crimping vs solder for the butt connections?
Tidy organization is key.
I'm a crimp only guy.
LOOKING GOOD HOW ABOUT A REMOVABLE 3D PLASTIC OR ALUMINIUM COVER FOR THE ECU?
Good idea. Maybe for some of that exposed wiring too
Carbs don't need no wires man! 🤣🤣🤣
Indeed, my 356 will always have carbs and you know what, it always starts
@@GarageTimeAutoResto I put the pmo's in to replace the cis. I'm just an analog kind of guy. Simple for an old guy like me.
Could the motronic control the functions of the new upgrades?
No, it's from 1984. It doesn't have the inputs/outputs that today's stuff has and the software is non existent. Emtron makes it very easy to configure and tune. Bosch Motronic does not want you to mess with anything.
you think at some point technology will eliminate most wiring for OEM's and retro changes?
Of course, it's already being done with technology like can bus. In fact the Emtron ECU is capable of can bus which I'm using for the dual O2 sensors.
I think for critical stuff like injectors and coil on plugs the technology is not reliable enough.
In newer cars all the lights, door controls, displays, etc are all on can bus with little ECUs all over the car.
