i have just been examining the m30 loom before fitting it into the e30 and have noticed the extra plugs and relays that are attatched to the loom near the ecu plug, what shall i do with these?

simply leave them unplugged?

I'm sure Rav or Lee or one of the other m30 boffins will answer soon.

I'm sure mine are just cable tied up out of the way...

You'll want to keep your relays; they'll come in quite handy for getting your car running.
I cut the extra plugs. They're used on the e34 for switching the cooling fan in the e-box.

ok no probs

am i right in saying the relays are the fuel pump relay and main relay? hence the reason for keeping them...

and aswell, the 3 red wires which also come out near the ecu plug will have to be stripped back along the loom to connect the to battery dummy terminal?

i hate wiring, even the simplest of setups confuses the frig out of me! which is also the reason why my polo has bike carbs, nice and simple :)
