So finally got some time back in the workshop and made some progress. Bad news is that I stuck a 7.5 Amp fuse in for the coil supply and carried out a cranking test that showed a lost sync count of no more than 2 or 3 on the Nodiz when cranking so all good, hooked everything up and promptly blew the coil driver again, $££$%$££$%^&^%£
Very frustrating !!!! Am con sidering my options:
A. Go megajolt
B. Stick it on the trailer and take it to MTech and let them sort it.
Did decide not to set fire to the workshop and walk away so I did get the gauges all wired up and working
The gauges are actually very very easy to wire and setup and even come with pre terminated leads for the sensors so I removed the redundant wires that are now not required from the loom. Just 4 wires left to connect, 1 for each of the indicator lamps, 1 for the high beam lamp and a hot start 12 volt which I think just trickles a very low current to the GPS so you don't have to wait for it to lock on every time you start the car.
Oil pressure sender screwed straight in as its a 1/8 NPT thread anyway, the water temperature sender is also 1/8NPT and couldn't find anywhere to put it so have ordered one of these:
