Nell's Motty AFR Tuner Install

There are two ways to install an AFR Tuner. Either with minimal loom modification, or not.
The latter requires the unwrapping of the main loom from the fuse box to just behind the engine, and splicing into the relevant wires, using soldered joints. With this method, Items 5 to 13, in the Parts List below, can be deleted.
The former is the way Nell was wired initially. It requires the creation of cable stubs, to make connections using the standard connectors. Some of these are difficult to acquire, but the cabling can be restored to almost original quite easily. Recently, while installing an electric water pump, the wiring was changed to the latter, as it requires much less space, and with the addition of the epump wiring that space was becoming scarce.
Both #922 & and RS #298 are fitted with ATs, and I believe 1 other. All use the full loom modification method.

The following describes the minimal loom modification method
1. Connecting Main pin 20 to P1E4 MAY result in a cleaner TPS signal, but I haven't tried it.
2. Only 4 wires are spliced into the loom. All other connections are made by adding cable stubs.
3. The wire colours chosen, are not necessarily those found in the loom supplied by Motty.

Fitting the Lambda Sensor

The Lambda probe will fit just in front of the exhaust pipe mount, but behind the gearbox, angled to miss the clutch cover. I shaped the collar base to fit the curvature of the pipe, marked the position on the pipe, then drilled a hole in the pipe, just large enough to allow the probe to fit through. A bolt then held the collar in position for welding.

The collar is just a little close too the exhaust mount. The TIG torch very nearly didn't get in close enough. 10mm further upstream would have made the welding task much easier.

Fitting the AFR Tuner

Firstly, remove the ducktail, right lower & upper panels, the tank, and right airways. You'll then have access to everything you need to get to.


AT Mounting Position
AT Mountin Tabs
Raise Fusebox
The AFR Tuner (AT) mounts above the right fan pod
The AT is held in place with 3M "Dual Lock"
The fusebox must be raised or shifted left.

The AT will fit in the duck tail, between the fans as shown above, if the fusebox is raised, moved left, or allowed to float freely. Initially, just lift it off it's clip. The top of the AT metal case should be protected from connecting to the frame by super gluing a piece of PETE (from a 2 litre juice bottle) to it.
Motty supply 4 pieces of Dual Lock in the AT kit. Clean off the fan & AT housings with isopropyl alcohol, and when dry, stick 2 to the end of the AT (as shown), then slip it into position. Rotate the part sticking to the fan, so that it follows the curvature of the fan housing. Next, remove the AT & stick the remaining 2 pieces to it's underside, in a position that will line up with the right housing.
I raised the fusebox by rotating it's clip through 180o. An extra notch is required though, and the pillion seat will touch it.

Take care when removing the clip. The tips are sprung loaded, and must be squeezed together to allow the clip to be withdrawn.

Now that the clip is remounted, unwrap the looming tape from the wiring to the fan plugs & fusebox, to allow re-looming in a more appropriate position - later.
Mount the AT, and move the diagnostics plug to the position shown. Also move the diode plug & assembly back and across, to make room for the AT coms plug. I have an accessories power supply jack that I fitted a while back (to charge my phone & gps receiver), which had to be re-positioned as well.
