Skittle... take pics and do a write up! I'm going to do an L28ET swap into my 76 during winter break.

ok will do, i was going to do pics yesterday but could not find my camera, so i was also going to use my vid cam but forgot to put the mem card back in... arghhh

hmmmm..... the two ignitor wires? how did you hook everything up? i did mine like this, oh what year efi harness are you using?


Ignitor

BW – Black/White: used BW wire from the harness 12v Switched
YW – Yellow/White: from plug #2 via LW wire


L=blue
W-white
B=black plug

this was for an 82 harness though thats what i used so basically the blue/white wire from the ignitor needs to be hooked to the signal wire from the ECU which in the 82 harness is a YW wire in the #2 harness plug and the BW wire goes to a switched poewr, by switched poewr i mean the ON position wire from your ignition key harness so that once the key is put in the ON or START position that wire will be getting positive power. but only in those positions. i cant find my diagram for some reason... it should be in my photobucket account but just cant find it!

kool thnx its an 83 turbo but it might be the same setup. Just wish I had my Z at my house instead of my friends.

what write-up are you using? send meh dah link!

skittle

none just using common sense in the most part.

snwbrderphat540

oh... well you might be doing it wrong then. good chance you are actually. i'll find you the proper way to do it before you screw it up. its pretty simple, but theres stuff in there you wouldnt expect thats it really.

skittle

Well after alot of trouble shooting we found out that the ignitor is shot, so where do i get another one thats not going to break my wallet.

The yard of junk?

snwbrderphat540

yeah turbo ignitors are expensive so if your on a budget search j-yards or forums. but honestly, the ignitor can seem to be the problem if you dont have the wiring 100% correct i have been there. or if your connections are not perfect.

skittle

yeah we figured that out... i'm going to sell some parts off so I can afford Megasquirt...

NismoPick

So you're not going to install the L28ET ecu? I'm going w/ another Z31T ecu setup for my S30T swap.

snwbrderphat540

figured what out? that if you screw something up it doesnt work lol. i told you to follow a write-up.

The Ignitor was bad, I'm going to pick up a working one from a club member today for free. To get the beast running

NismoPick

Skittle! Could you post about the wiring for the swap?

skittle

Yeah I'll take pics of everything for placement so you can use it as well as soon as I get it running.

skittle
