I modified the wiring in the original 914 AC kit (as suggested by Paul Jorg) to turn on the regen when the brake lights came on instead of controlling regen by releasing the accelerator pedal.

I've already added the 3-hole cap-plug provided in the kit. After cutting all the tape that bound the engine compartment cables together, I slid on the three-hole cap-plug from the kit and bonded it in place with silicone sealant. I didn't get any action shots, but here's the result. Today was a bit slow.

My 914ev partner-in-crime Randy (who purchased the very first 914 AC kit from ElectroAuto) e-mailed me some photographs of how he's wiring up his terminal blocks and relays. Excerpt from Randy's e-mail: I've also started on the wiring kit. The slot was cut when I installed the Camp 914 shock kit. Thanks, Randy!)

A few people asked me about how I hacked together a serial port since AC kit people will need this in order to configure the controller correctly. The picture above shows the three wires plugged into the top three pins on the 8-pin connector on the controller. To connect to the PC, I got a female DB9 connector with solder cups.

Owners of most vehicles can purchase, for example, a ScanGauge and plug it into the OBD-II ( On Board Diagnostics II ) data port of their cars, which would allow them to view an estimate of instantaneous MPG while driving. The companies listed on the MPGuino Wiki page as selling MPGuino boards or kits at one time are now out of that business.

As I mentioned before, I'm replacing the #2 gauge cable provided in the kit with a thicker 2/0 welding cable. I'm still a cheapskate and will still use the #2 gauge lugs with 5/16" holes provided in the kit. Fortunately, I used Noalox on all subsequent crimp connections.

One of the other 914 kit converters questioned why the accessory battery couldn't stay in the original tray, but I decided to remove it anyway and have the accessory battery up in the front trunk near the DC/DC converter. Home Depot sells 2-inch caps that should plug the previous hole nicely.

I double checked the connections on the neutral-start relay in the engine compartment and everything looked fine. The kit requires the 12V accessory battery to run the exhaust fans while the car charges overnight, so I altered the circuit to use an external 12V laptop supply instead so I wouldn't drain the accessory battery.

I received an updated wiring diagram for the AC kit from ElectroAuto, and, much to my disappointment, many of the connections went between the battery caps. The updated low-voltage wiring diagram shows different connections in the front compartment. If the battery runs out, the fans stop, which is bad.
