We also had to change the motor mounts on this engine, so I don't recall how much a factor the stock engine mounts play into it. It might not be a bad idea to shoot a e-mail off to a Raceland dealer.

I am thinking about purchasing the raceland header as well and if it does not fit I dont need to buy it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991996487517867191.post-37831559012512382772011-12-03T09:40:22.760-05:002011-12-03T09:40:22.760-05:00The 1.6 throttle only needed a switch for idle and...The 1.6 throttle only needed a switch for idle and for WOT (wide open throttle) which only run three wires to the throttle. However because I couldn't use the 1.6 throttle on the 1.8 manifold, I would have to use a 1.8 throttle. The 1.8 doesn't use the same system as the 1.6. Rather it still has a idle switch but then uses a TPS (throttle position sensor) or in a simpler term, a potentiometer. Since the car is going to run Megasquirt at a later time this TPS setup will be useful. However, we are currently running the stock wiring harness until that time. So I'm using the the idle switch off the the 1.8 and on the connector. I will then use the two bolts on the top of the throttle and make a bracket to hold a small blade switch which will close when the throttle pulley makes full contact during WOT. For this switch you can use just about any type of blade switch, I'll probably use one from a VW throttle or Volvo transmission interlock switch. The bracket will be a simple section of aluminum angle stock that is easy enough to cut and look decent with a little thought.Rhynchocephalianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833799031268706386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991996487517867191.post-54921745136126358022011-11-26T03:32:54.348-05:002011-11-26T03:32:54.348-05:00Hey how were you able to wire up the throttle body...Hey how were you able to wire up the throttle body? email me at jessiecha08@gmail.com thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
