Golf mk2 Engine conversion, convert wiring from CE2 to CE1

[davidh]

Hi there

i'm assisting one of the young lads at work fitting a 90'spec 16v Kjet engine to what was a 88' Golf Mk2 1.8 driver with a carb

The conversion itself isn't too bad as he got the full running gear from another car complete with fuel lines etc but the issue we have is the the Driver is CE1 wiring and we only have the engine loom and fuse box from the CE2 donor with no hope or retrieving the rest as the car is now a cube

I'm confident of making a small fuel pump loom but the main engine wiring is there a way of deleting the CE2 fuse box?

The lad who he got it from labelled the CE2 box not very well with red paint and said to run the 2 side by side but it's tight as it is with the CE1 fuse box being there for the lights etc hence why I'd like to delete it if possible

thanks for now

My friend converted his mk2 1.3 to run the mk3 vr6 lump. He just got the body loom from a late mk2 with the ce2 fuse box and its just plug and play pretty much.
Just find a later mk2 down the scrappy and raid it of the harness, much easier than faffing about with extra looms beside existing ones and less of a fire hazard too

It's the problem of trying to find one that someone hasn't already been in there lol

If you ask on the Club GTI forum there are several people who will know exactly what's required and probably have any parts you need too, here: www.clubgti.com/forum.php

Agree with Stu. There's a man (Legend) called Rubjonny who's on most of the VW forums and he knows everything there is to know and I think has posted about it before. www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=110730.0;wap2

This may also prove useful for splicing looms www.clubgti.com/showthread.php?219775-Fusebox-FAQ
