quick harness question on lt8s
hey guys. i just bought a used lt8s from a forum member here and it looks like he pulled the power wire right out of the coneector on the harness. so my questions are:
1) what AWG is the power wire 2) does anyone know what kind of pin style is used in the connector? looks like i need to buy one from mouser or digikey... |
The stock power wire is a quality 14 AWG, which has about as much wire as a poor quality 12 AWG.
The pins are the same as used on ATX computer power supplies, whatever size that may be. :) Keep in mind that the power wire splits to also power the injectors so you will need some 16 AWG and heat shrink tubing. |
good info, thanks!
and the rest of the wires appear to be 18 AWG...that correct? |
18 AWG from memory. All the signal wires are fine at 18 AWG. But use 16 for injectors.
|
will do, thanks!

ok...i feel a bit newbish for having to ask, but better safe than sorry. the power wire that was pulled out was not the +12V battery wire, it's the "power" wire. Waht exactly is this wire for and where is it suppose to get connected?
|
no one? buler...buler....
|
That wire gets a constant 12V source from the battery and is what powers the ECU.
|
but isn't that what the BATT wire is for? so they both get connected to a constant 12v?as I have it right now I just have the BATT wire connected to a constant 12V and the ECU powers up without any errors...?
|
I'm sorry, that was an MT-8 diagram I saw...
OK, batt goes to the battery. Power goes to IGN 12V. |
yeah, any time i download the LT8 wire diagram i get the MT8 diagram.
so "power" and "IGN +12V" get a switch 12V? that doesn't seem right to me... |
