wiring in motor ???
Turbo Mini Forums

hi every one,
hope you can help me,
i bought my motor stand alone, so now thats in my car i havent got a clue how to wire it up to the coil and dizzy,
when i bought the engine it came with a chopped loom, all the connections are there to plug into the dizzy ect, but i dont know where to start
i would really apreciate any help you guys can give me.
cheers.

perhaps i need to make the question more clear, can i use my original coper loom ? what mods do i need to carry out ? come iian or turbo dave you must know, you know everything else!

yes you can...

You need to run a 12v feed to the dissy and thats about it... There are only 2 connections from the modual... one goes to the positive side of the coil, the other to the negitive!

the rest of the connetions like starter and alternator are same positions as anyother A-series engine.

Like alex said......

From memory, off the side of the dizzy there is a black plug with two wires going into it. One of the wires is white with a yellow stripe, connect this to the coil positive (+). The other wire is white with a black stripe, this connects to the negative (-).
Apart from that everything else (oil pressure, alternator, starter motor, water temp sender) should be the same.
That is from memory but fairly sure that is correct.

cheers Tom Fenton.
i just ordered one of those gauges to check the fuel pressure once i get that i can have a go at starting the motor
cheers guys.

on the coil at posative side theres 3 prongs one for the wire from dizzy, do i plug the 12v supply onto this ? if so that leaves one spare ? whats this for ? also its the same on the negative side of coil 3 spade connectors one from dizzy that leaves to 2 spare ?
sorry to be a pain could you advise ??? thanks

12v supply to the coil positive

one positive to the ign module

one negitive to the ign module

job done.

Should be one white/yellow wire coming out of the existing car loom. Check this with a multimeter, it should be +12v when the ignition is on, and 0v when it is off. Connect this to the coil +. There should also be a white/black wire out of the existing loom, this is the feed for the rev counter in the car, connect this to the coil - terminal.

Then connect up white/yellow to +, and white/black to -, and then the other ends to the module on the side of the distributor.

Don't worry about having 'spare' terminals left on the coil, this just varies depending on what coil you have, some come with 2 each side, some 3 each side.

Without actually doing it myself I can't explain it any more than that, if you are still stuck do some reading of the wiring diagrams in the haynes manuals for minis or metros and they show it diagramatically.
