How may people have wired an EC2?
How many people need to wire an EC2?
How many people have wired it more than once?

Hi Paul
I've wired our EC2

How did it go Steve? What are your impressions?

Hi Paul
Because I have an electronics background, skills in soldering and a pretty good
awareness of modern fuel injection, wiring it up was no problem at all.
A few years back I built a Lotus 7 replica and used a Toyota 4AGE engine which I
had to reverse engineer the harnesses from circuits of the WEB that were all in
Japanese. This was my introduction to understanding modern injection ignition
systems.
I just followed Tracy's instructions.
Now mine is just a temp setup to get it running to prove all systems were working.
It hasn't been tested as far as tuning it at various loads. But it runs and all
the inputs and outputs are functioning as per expected.
The main EC2 connector is small and requires me these days to use magnifying
glasses.
I would recommend labelling wiring so you know whats what.
For someone with little knowledge of electronics and experience with soldering I
suppose it would probably seem daunting.
If someone was not proficient with high reliability soldering I would think that
a failure mode could be introduced and in this case I think a builder should
employ someone to do it for them.

We are going to take the daunting out with a bit of creativity :)
Cute 7, How's the Glassair coming?
