coil/dizzy wiring
Turbo Mini Forums

hey chaps, got me engine in now and pretty much all wiried up.
ive left the ecu in and the original wiring from my SPI and am using a electronic dizzy with the modual on the side?
could any one tell me where the white wire goes that comes off the modual, also what goes on the other connection on the modual.
ive done many searches and found that i need to run a 12v feed from my fuse box to the coil.
so do i need to remove the original feed to the coil and replace it with this?
cheers

There should be two wires from dizzy to coil, white/black from module to negative side of coil, white/yellow from module to pos side of coil, then a switched 12v feed to coil from fuse box as you mention. If you have all those three you will have enough for the engine to run.

thanks tom, ive only got one wire from the modual and its white??
so do i just remove all the original wires that went to the coil then.

Jamie, that wire might not be an original, but i think the white on the mini is live.

im sure that both wires from ignition module go to coil, one to positive, one to negitive, top one (if the module is on the right) is positive.

hi guys

i found this thread while trying to find the correct way to wire the dizzy up.. most of my questions have been answerd, but i still have one question, what do i connect the wire in the original(1985 mini 1000hle) harnes to?, the wire that was ment for the original dizzy?

anyone??

What colour is it ???

White, or white/pink ???

Or do you have a choice of both as some early 80's Minis did.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

Leave it unplugged

thanks guys
