Was at the ring over the weekend, and the car had a fairly large under bonnet fire yikes f**king plumbed electronic extinguisher failed to go off but 3 of us got the fire out in about 20 secs. It's destroyed most of the wiring loom, and melted the cam belt, dry sump pump belt etc, etc (oh, yes, and the bonnet!)

Quick q: I'm planning on switching to 45mm DTH Jenveys now, and was curious what the large black plug on the top of my existing inlet manifold (VPHD engine) does. I've had a look at some wiring diagrams and can't see what its function is? Any ideas? It's an EU2 variant K series btw.

Also, anyone got a second hand bonnet (w/o the heater vents at the back, i.e. only 6 sets of louvres rather than seven) they want to sell me? Condition not important.

cheers. forgot to add, i'm using an emerald ecu, so I don't think all the sensors are needed. I know the IACV isn't for example....

If I swap to Jenveys, how is the MAP measured? Surely all you need to know is the rpm and TPS level to produce a fuel/ign map?
