So, this is the start of my build. I am continuing from my thread: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1416 I will be updating here every once in a while as I progress on this project.
I am going to be converting my TR6 to TBI, I may use the existing carbs ( 2 * Zenith Stromberg 175) or I might get get a couple of TBI from the 1.4 L Chevy motor found in the Aveo and the like. I need to make a trip to the auto recycler to take a look see to find out how much work it will be to adapt them to the Triumph intake manifold, but this won't be for a while given the lousy weather we are currently having here. In the meantime I can do some indoor work and start with the build of the board.
I have pretty much all of the components for a V3 board, the board and some sensors. I have started adding the components onto the board.
I decided to get new sensors for the reason that the ones pulled from the cars at the recycler may be questionable, and given how cheap they can be had new, I don't think it's worth the time and effort to get used ones. Also for that reason I'm thinking to build a wiring harness as well.
So a couple of questions:
For the GM sensors, is the "weather pack" connectors the correct type to get?
For a coolant temp sensor I got a honda unit, bottom right in the photo, what would the correct connector for it look like?
For a wiring harness, what would an appropriate gauge of wire be for the sensors?
Also what gauge of wire would I use for the output to the fuel injectors and the Ignition Coils (I will be using GM smart coils)?
Cheers, and I hope that you all are having a good holiday season!
