VERT+Engine swap= Hmmmm ?

I have been away from the forum for about 6 months due to many things I am not going to try and explain.

I swapped a 13B back into the Vert running N/A while I work the bugs out of the Turbo setup that always seems to need another bit of tweaking..

Here is the current state of the car-

13B back in with S5 T2 front cover
N/A manifolds/wiring harness/vert ecu

The engine is in and appears to be wired up. I get headlights and tailights, the top works BUT no dash warning lights, no idiot cluster, and it acts like the starter/ecu are not getiing any power as it will not even attempt to turn over at all. I turn the key and nothing happens.The only thing I can think of is that there is a little 4 prong white plug on the ecu wiring harness that I don't know where it goes. It has two thicker black wires (asssuming power) and a green,then a brown with a blue stripe... This connector comes in right with all the ECU plugs....Where the hell does it plug into? Any other ideas? Thanks and it's nice to be back....

I am wondering if that connector supplies the power to the ecu?

Turbocharged Vert

Hey,

Good luck finding where that clip leads to.

This is the main reason I kept my vert with its stock NA engine. Turbo sucks *** when it comes to getting the bugs worked out and everything in working order.

Rather have a car that I can drive and not have parked up awaiting the next issue to fix to get it running.

Hope you get it running though...


Regards,

That's just it, I am dying to drive it and in doing so have swapped back to the N/A manifolds in an attempt to actually drive it while I wait on the Boost controller and the Downpipe.

I will do. Would that make the car not have power to the ECU though?

How would you also go about rigging up the knock box on the n/a harness?

Let me clarify. The motor is a 6 port motor that I had put S4 T2 manifolds on (modified) to run the 6 port turbo setup. I swapped back to the N/A manifolds and harness while I wait for the Downpipe and manual boost controller. So It is essentially a STOCK N/A setup other then the remaining S5 turbo front cover.
