hi guys, couldn't find anywhere for this wire to go when doing the engine swap. Ignore the setup in the background its something the last owner did to avoid air bubbles in the lines.

I dont have a clue what its for but in mine its not connected to anything and i cant find a place where it would fit, the car runs fine.
 
ive noticed some of the diesels have some sort of electric valve where the airbox connects to the large inlet pipe, as if its a butterfly valve or something.
 
Ok start again.

what vehickle hav yer got?
What Year was it made?
What engine did yer use to have in it?
What engine have yer got in it now?
If it's still got the same engine ; What conversion have yer done.
 
expected answers from the usual people thats why i didn't specify. 2.5 BMW diesel. No conversion, just a like for like swap. Doesn't mention conversion anywhere.
 
Sorry when yer said swap I assumed (incorrectly) that yer meant you'd upgraded to summat else. an I couldn't make out any details frum the piccy uer posted.
 
The photo you have posted looks really strange, as in you have a very different filter setup than the normal setup, this is what the normal setup should look like, you can see the connector you are referring to on the back of the part the filter screws into.

Im not sure what the connector is for yet though, I will have a look later for you :)

not a great deal of importance then really as the system seems to work just fine. Ill just insulating tape it up in that case as the fuel heater has been eliminated. Cant see any potential problems unless it was -20 degrees, what u think wills? oh and ill try and get that panel sent tomorrow.
thanks

oh btw, the fibre covered pipe that leads to that sensor on that bracket, what does that go to? ive attached mine on the fuel pump somewhere i think.

No, that should attach to the undeside of the intake manifold. Its the manifold pressure sensor tube thingy. In RAVE its called the MAP (Manifold Absoulute Pressure) sensor.

hmmm, I dont know, you need every bit of help you can get to get the engine started when its very cold weather. Up to you though, it probably doesnt make a blind bit of difference but it would annoy me if it wasnt there. :D

oops my bad, it is attached to the underside of the manifold. Ill not worry about the fuel heater, shes going to be my workhorse for hauling salvage cars around so im not expecting it to stay mint/immaculate.
