KR wiring connections to CE1 fusebox

Hi chaps, I will be attending to the balance of the wiring on my KR block this weekend and was wondering if anybody out there had connected a KR head with a CE1 and matching early mk1 (some say series 1) looms.

The ignition loom is now connected and working, but just to double check the oil pressure and oil & water temperature spade connections that need to be made to operate correctly. I currently have a single spade connection on the oil filter and another spade connection on the side of the block (there are three male spades available). Do i need to use the others for anything? I assume some of them will be for MFAs and the like, which I do not have (I am using an early conical dash).

Any helps (with pics) would really be appreciated. really just asking what spades connections need to be made and if anything additional goes to the KR ECU.

Thanks again….

hi, sorry i cannot help you with your problem but maybe you can help me, i have also got a kr engine sat in a mk1 i bought but i have no idea where wiring loom plugs go to on the engine, any help would be appreciated cheers, andy

hi mate, sorry i meant to say i have an early series 1 fusebox with the torpedo ceramic fuses. i assume you have the spade fuses in yours?

I am also running carbs - are you running the same or injection?

first port of call mate, would the mk1 haynes manual wiring diagram. I have just picked up the mk1 haynes manual for the engine and hoping to connect the dots that way.

if you have any specific questions, I can try and help or i am sure others will be along to assist as well. check out the clubgti forum for 16v advice as well…

good luck.

Cheers for the reply, I have a late type mk1 so yeah it's spade type, I have a mk1 and mk2 Haynes
Manual just doesn't give me a clear idea of where the plugs go but I'll read through again and see if I can work something out, good luck with the conversion, regards andy.
