Does anyone have any close up pictures of a ce1 loom intergrated into the abf loom?  I know I should be switching to ce2, but in my stubborness ive decided to keep the car ce1  :rolleyes:.  I have dannyp's and rubjonny info already, but for me pictures help me wrap my head around things easier

cheers   :smiley:

Hey guys,

Ive just plunked in an ABF from a LHD car with the whole manifold and stuff.It does not hinder or touches the steering rack.Mine is a UK import RHD 1990 mk2.

The power is ok.Felt the digifant mk2 system quicker or responsive maybe due to having an airflow meter.Now its a mk3 digifant 3.2 mated to CE2 mk2 digifant 2 wiring.Need to sort out the mk2 revs.

Mr Jonny,I have used the mk3 coils.Where do I get the feed to the rev counter please.Many thanks.

Cheers

open the side of the coil, iirc theres a little flap you can open. then you should see some terminals inside, put your wire to the -ve one :)

we're having an abf clone hood (bonnet) clearance discussion on vortex.  Does the abf have the same hood clearance issues in a mk2  like the aba 2.0l's where you have to cut some of the hood structure out or use a specail motor mount?

As long as your engine mounts are in good condition, all that is needed is to file a little off the top of the throttle body - where the two vacuum lines connect. No need to make any adjustments to the bonnet.

is there a difference between an abf tb and a 9a tb?

nevermind.............I just peeled myself off the computer and compared the two (I have both)

Am I correct saying an abf intake and throttle body will work on a 9a

If im annoying you guys, you can tell me to "piss off ya bloody #%nt" <<<<<my english accent  :grin:
