Hi all,

I'm in the process of putting back the hose's and engine loom on my newly build m20 engine.

Does anyone have any detailed pics of how the wiring and water hose is routed underneath the inlet manifold.

I tried searching the WIKI and Google but didn't have much luck. I have a vague idea but wanted the OEM look :D

Theres a black bracket that fits below the inlet. There are supposed to be some plastic clips for the long coolant hose to clip one side and the loom to be cable tied the other. The dip stick is also secured

I think* the hose runs behind closest to the block and the loom the other side.

Does this look about right?

Been such a long time working on my e30, I forgotten what these 2 connectors are for under the engine management connector. I assume 1 goes to the crank sensor... and the other???

Image

Last is this 2 pin connector, no idea where this goes??

Image

any help would be appreciated.
