it's an XJ Trailer.  I made a post on one a while back on here.  You buy an XJ, cut away the nose and weld in some rails, turn the back half into a trailer.  Kind of a budget/junkyard way to make an adventure trailer.  I still want to build one

What he said, Well today I got the Alternator, Starter, tail and headlights working, and all of the interior accessories.

 

Not sure if this has been asked on this thread yet or not, but what's going on with the front of this XJ here in the background?

 

 

Ya what the hell is that? Lol

I'm pretty sure the alt wiring was in the engine harness that came from the camaro... or I found a diagram online and wired it up... ?? No help, I know... and I'm away from it for the next two weeks or I could look...

Do you remember what upper and lower radiator hoses you used? Thanks for the help by the way!! If you had part numbers that'd be perfect

Pretty sure I used the hoses for the 2.8l. Lower for sure. Back Fri. I can get you a p/n then...

 

Throttle cable was from either a 3.4l camaro, or a 5.7l camaro, '94-95 vintage iirc... I got both from the jy and used the one that fit best...

Thanks so much for the info! You've helped a ton so far, I don't think this is the last question I'll be asking LOL.

Just save the trouble and be content with the stock ecu, I will never do this again haha, it is not fun what so ever! But that being said I went from Carb to EFI so you'll already have all of the sensors ready to go!

See, I'm a sucker for wiring projects.  And I want wideband control and LS coil packs  :yes:

Oh, okay! Coil packs are very hard to configure in Megasquirt! Distributors are the easiest because they theoretically control the coil themselves! But it would be a cool project.

I almost cried today, finally finished the wiring! I have to say I will never do anything like this again!!

Thank you! I'm in the process of tuning it now and I am 100% stumped.

What part has you stumped?  It took me a little while to grasp tuning a Megasquirt. I did a lot of reading and talked to guys who had done it before before I really ended up getting it.
