Howdy,

Wondering if anybody here is particularly handy with rb20 wiring? We're essentially finished with my rb20 conversion at the moment, and a bit stumped with getting it to start again.

Symptoms are:

Power is going essentially all through the loom,

fuel pump working fine,

starter motor not getting power,

nothing firing on a/c or with key fully turned.

Unfortunately when we stripped the wiring out of the halfcut the guy who pulled most of the wiring off wasn't quite as savvy as I'd have liked, and now I'm unsure about what we're missing. I'm thinking at this stage we're probably looking at a grounding issue, but if anybody has any experience with this and doesn't mind being paid in beer to come and have a look/give advice I'd be pretty grateful.

Cheers,

Tim

Checked all of them yeah, which is annoying. We'll be hardwiring the fuel pump to turn on with a switch so that's just a matter of installing a switch, since it'll get constant power and turn on with an earth switch.

Located in Kalamunda though.

Cheers,

Tim

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/

    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
