:D So the 2nd lamda probe can be mapped out or in my case if u get an early mgf trophy 160 ecu then you will have no 2nd probe already. Using the abs sensor is not possible in some early abs units as with mine but it is only used for rough road and to be honest it needs some really rough road to cau...

Mg zr firefrost paint code CEV also known as xirillac red on earlier models.

Car is all working so so well i just forget about that code that is there on standby pos2.
I remapped it the vvc and added some pops and sounds really nice. Super chuffed and appreciate the help from everyone involved... here it is now...

So I have checked 12v supply is there on power pin, 0v ecu drive pin can be seen to pull the 12v to ground when I turn the ignition to position 2. Strange thing is when I start the car its all working just fine and the error code disappears. As soon as I turn the engine off back to position 0 / 1 th...

Great job on the HRW to fan modification - and yes this would be very simple being you aren't modifying any of our cars sensors, loom or ECU. I have just got my car put back together enough to do my first test on the new loom - and its went very well indeed. Ive got 5 error codes. MIL Lamp malfuncti...

Yup, its fine to run with either alternator be honest, as you say the early one is by far more resilient. The loom I bought someone had done the silly thing and converted the single 8mm bolt and put a 2 pin connector to it, so must have installed a later one into his mems3 car. Of course it was the ...

Thanks for the reply Rob. Glad to hear that your project is not dead - and she lives on... It would appear we have went about this a very similar way splicing a good mems3 loom to the older mems1 plugs. Its the best approach, and keeps the number of splices / connections down and more importantly in...

Part ii - carrying on from above as I can only get 5 inline pictures per post. EU3 VARIANTS / PLUGS!! MEMS3 - C0159 - ECU Plug Smaller black ecu plug. 6-159.png MEMS3 - C0162 - Engine harness to main harness 10 Pin Grey Plug MEMS3 Plug cut off, replace with EU2 plugs… 10-162.png MEMS3 C0203 - Engine...

Ok so with the lack of tables in this markdown, I will go ahead and take pictures of my tables and upload them... sorry I hope the resolution is high enough to read... I will make them png format and hopefully that will help if not, we will have to try to host it another way - maybe images somewhere...

Ok i was just about to post the first draft of my pin out - but when I copy / paste it into this block it looses all its formatting, as this isn't a rich text format. Is there any way I can represent tables, here in this forum easily - or is it easier for me to put up the document and simply link it...

Following with interest as this may be something I do one day, I have many of the parts around to do it. A couple of comments - the extra line out of the later alternator is to the ECU so it can alter the engine map on the engine in the case of a high load from the alternator, it can be left out. C...

You might consider going to your local Scrappie, buy a Mems 3 car and arrange to strip out all the required bits and then sell the car back. I did this in 1970 when I had a gearbox failure that took out the engine on my Austin 1300.. The job was done in their yard even using their crane. Out Saturd...

Ok lets start with what parts are required before i get into the how to... Required: - 160 Inlet manifold - 160 blue injectors - All manifold sensors tmap / iacv / air tmp sensors ( hopefully just buy a full manifold with everything on it. ) - Oil Temp sensors ( I installed from a mems3 car entire f...

So I am undertaking this conversion on my MGF. I am also trying to finish that never quite finished How-To on how this can be done for our MGFs. I see lots of information about which answers some but not all questions, which I hope to resolve by this post... I myself have one final question before I...

Sorry to dig up an old post, but this is a wonderful one, and so close to being a how to, for converting EU2, to EU3 on an MGF. I am literally just about to do an EU2 143 VVC conversion to EU3 160 VVC. I have bought all the hardware required from injectors / manifold / 160 eu3 engine loom, 160 ECU, ...
