First things first the engine is running but need some help with the wiring. I've got 2 flashing lights on the dash oil and water so can anyone tell me first where the sender for the water temp is and the colour of the wire and same for the oil pressure sender location  and wire colour as I've got a fist full of wires and no idea where they go thanks very much

Gees! you have'nt had much help on here with the 16v swap have ya.

If you was local, i'd of had it wired up within an hour or 2. Least you have it running now, even though its taken months.

The oil pressure senders are above the oil filter mate. The water temp is on the side of the head.

Spread the wires out that you have left and take a pic. I'll try pinpoint where they go then   . You should've marked where each wire went before you removed the 8v  :wink:

The funny thing is I did label them but some git took them all off lol oh well I will upload the pictures this after noon thank you

photos of the engine now

some of the wires

Just a quick Q where do you get all the rear brake conversion kit from.

Try the yel/red wire on 1 of the senders on the side of the head mate as thats where mine goes

The yelllow looks like it goes to the oil filter housing along with the Blue wire. There should be 2 oil senders above the oil filter.

I'm not to sure I've found some bits on eBay and some others at gsf but in still looking for some parts so I think a trip to the scrap yard is in order

well its been a long time since i posted anything but here is an update shrek now has a full mot but a week later i lost cylinder 2 so its now having a full engine re build. but im having a hard time finding a exhaust manifold for the 16v engine conversion so dose anybody know where to get one from so im not riped off as most places want £500 to make one as im only running one i bodged together ? hopefully get it back on the road this weekend if so will upload the lattest photos :roll:

make your own, splice the mk2 16v and the mk1 one together. no clearance issues like the 4-1

thanks funk star will start looking for them in stainless then get them done at work save a few pennies . are you still braking down mk2s as im after set set of 16v front hubs?

Should have a pair mate.

cool beans pmed. i thought i found a manifold from dub direct but its for a short block    never mind here's hoping the car is done saturday so im back to 2 again as the wife keeps taking the rx8 as shes looking after the baby and she never gets to work on time to pick me up .
