Any one got a spare ecu earth stud and nuts etc, that bolts on the back of the passengers side head,
when i removed the hotwire ecu i also renmoved this stud,
and now can not find it,

I will have but its just either a 3/8 or 5/16 UNC thread, a normal short bolt would do the job.

Cheers mate,
if you have a spare studd and nuts that would be handy,
as been advised to earth the ecu here to cause little noise polution,

you on about the earth from the efi looms?

i earthed mine to the bulkhead what do you mean about noise polution there?

if thats where its suposed to be earthed (ie to the block) that would be handy as the efi looms pretty stretched in my setup and that would give me some good room for my air box

as for the studs ive got a few knocking about that screw into the head ill bang one in the post for you

cheers mate

noise polution as in interferance

aaaaahhhh i get you now

Did you manage to post it off yet mate?????

all sent mate

dunno when it'll arrive being near cristmas and all

cheers buddy

A lot of the jap guys, will earth the block/heads ( engine in general ) at multpile points using heavy guage wire, all returning to the battery.

Some call it a circle earth. Where you build a ring around the engine, picking up other earths along the way, including the ecu, adding new earths to it if necessary.

Some say it helps....who knows. I know I did similar and didnt notice any difference.

But for the price of some wire and a few lugs, it cant hurt.

cheers stevie,
