How to wire A Haltech Elite 2000 (1 Viewer)

[asuddendeath]

I have the wiring pin out guide, a AEM 30-2983 patch harness, and a Haltech E2000 the universal harness.
For the time ill be keeping the the distributor.
Am I able to wire the cam and crank sensors right off the patch harness or do I need to do things different?

I guess the other thing I could do if it makes life easy, its get a haltech HT-141249 adapter. With that adapter its listed as manual tranny only, could I uses the 4th plug that controls the transmission and feed it back into the stock ECU?

Last night I started cutting into my patch harness, With the grounds that and needed how should I run that? Or do I not even need to worry?

are you in the turbo facebook group? i would think that would have more advice than mud on stuff like this. maybe @scottryana can get you pointed in the right direction?

I talked with one person, he said to run the grounds off the Haltech unit to the motor or where everything else is grounded.
I can see 2 issues with this
1. Resistance
2. Any noise or anything else coming off the motor.

My one thought was to set up a ground block grounded to the motor then go to the chassis and then go to the battery.
Thoughts on this?

You heard right. I've never done any of the things you are doing specifically but have quite a bit of megasquirt experience. Run all grounds to the same spot and make it the nicest part of your build. This is one bit of advice I feel good giving you.

Just make sure your stock ground scheme is clean, don't get wrapped up in all that other business.

Do you have a Distribution ground block that you like to use?

Sounds like I will have to see where each ground point is and ground back to there. Examples, if the ground point for the injectors is different then the crank sensor I will have to ground in 2 different points.
I have a feeling that Toyota on the 1fz-fe has the same ground point for the injectors, crank, and maybe some sensors because of some of the plug and play harnesses that are out there.

Really dont want to fry my Haltech ECU because of the wrong grounds.
