Restoring AE86 w/ 4AGE 16v + HKS ITB + Haltech E6X
Posted: Fri Jan 23, 2015 7:48 am
Hey guys! I've always been interested in working on cars and I just bought a non-running AE86 with 4AGE 16v, HKS ITB and Haltech E6X. It hasn't ran in 8 years! I'm trying to get it running and tuned and then start on the body. The owner said that it needs a EDIS system (or the stock dizzy would work too albeit with less signal for the ECU). I'm wondering where to start.
I know for sure that the HKS ITB vacuum hose to ECU and to Brake vacuum aren't connected it up. There's no hose from the vacuum to ECU. In fact, the E6X and leading wire harness are not installed on the car and came in a separate box.
Goal 1: Get it idling
I want to verify that the HKS ITBs are installed properly with correct connections, and get an EDIS system in. I don't know what to look for in terms of fuel line or injectors. I've read that EDIS systems have a limp mode that'll work without the ECU. Would the limp mode work with the HKS if the fuel lines are hooked up properly? If I can get this working, at least I can tell if the engine is working properly and fuel line works.
Are there any manuals on setting up HKS ITBs so I can walk through the steps, or can you guys show me how you connected it up? Any of you worked on EDIS systems before? Or would you recommend starting with the distributor setup first?
I'm going to do an oil change / oil filter, change spark plugs, and oil the engine / crank manually before I start any of this. Is there anything else I should do before starting it up again?
Goal 2: Hook up the ECU
The car came with leading wire harness and cut connector plugs from the original harness. I'm guessing I'll have to look at how the original wiring looks like and try to match it up with the new harness / plugs. Any thoughts here?
Thank you for your time! I'm really excited!
