With the factory ECU removed and new O2 sensor installed, was time to assemble and install the Motec FK8 kit. Was totally excited
Removed these (2) bolts and (2) nuts from the factory ECU using the 10mm socket and ratchet.
Factory ECU separated from the bracket holder, which will be needed by the Motec.
Connect the LTC to the Motec breakout loom and plug into the adapter box.
Set the Motec adapter box onto the factory ECU bracket.
Re-install (1) bolt and (2) nuts that were removed from the factory ECU. There wasn’t room to get a socket on, so used a 10mm combo.
Connect stub looms A, B, C and D to the adapter box in this order.
Place the Motec 142 ECU onto the adapter box and secure with the (3) provided kit bolts and secure with an Allen wrench. Don’t overtighten
Connect the other ends of the stub looks to the Motec ECU. It’s now ready to drop in.
Gently lower it. Do not to let any wires get snagged.
The wirIng stub looms are curled under the ECU, need to be careful not to pinch them when reinstalling the (2) bolts that secure the bracket.
Best to pre-install this bolt onto the bracket before lowering it, so it doesn’t drop and fall.
Reattach the MAF wire to the bracket, unless decide to delete.
Reconnect the (2) ECU harnesses and tuck the ethernet communication cable here.
Route and connect the LTC to the primary O2 sensor.
@turbociv910 routed his wiring in front. I will likely do the same.
Motec 142 FK8 AU Kit installed and Eventuri silicone hose adapter back in place.
Wow, that was easier that anticipated, time for a test drive...
