ENGINE CONTROL UNIT INSTALLATION
8.1
ENGINE CONTROL UNIT
A.
From inside the driver’s compartment on the
driver’s side and under the dash, find the
two 15mm nuts that retain the cover that
blocks the hole for the clutch cable.
***NOTE***
On standard transmission vehicles, you will have to find
another location to run the wires through the firewall.
B.
Using a 1-3/16" hole saw, cut a hole through
the plastic cover. Reinstall the cover using
the factory fasteners.
C.
Pass the additional injector plugs through
the hole you just made in the cover along
with the additional wires and the length
5/32" vacuum hose.
D.
Route the injector plugs to the additional
injector and attach them to the injectors.
E.
Route the wires across the firewall to the
factory engine control unit. It is best to open
the factory wiring harness cover and pass
the wire through it. (See Fig. 8-a.)

F.
Refer to the Appendix #5A001-080 for pin
locations on the factory engine control unit.
***NOTE***
If you are installing this kit on a non California vehicle,
you may only have one oxygen sensor. If so, you will
eliminate one set of oxygen sensor wires. Cover the
wires with heat-shrink or electricians tape.
G.
From inside the driver’s compartment,
remove the two torques screws that are
located under the dash securing the cover
under the steering column.
H.
At the top of the cover, pull outward on the
cover to release the clips and set the cover
aside.
I.
Apply double-stick tape to the control box
and attach the box to the cover just
removed, and reinstall the cover.
*** NOTE ***
Be sure there are not kinks in the vacuum/boost line
coming from the supplied ECU.
