Compatible with MaxxECU STREET/V1/RACE/PRO
VANOS head
This harness is built based on the non VANOS head, which means the VANOS heads CAM/HOME sensor connection is of another type and wont work.
There is two options to solve the problem if you have a VANOS head:
1.Change the CAM sensor to BMW 12141726590.
2.Cut the CAM connector in the harness, and replace with a connector that fits and also add switched +12V power supply to the sensor according to the below pinout.

Installation
The installation of the terminated engine harness is pretty straight-forward.
1.Mount all engine connectors, alternator and starter, do not forget Engine GND.
2.Place VAG coils (not included) and connect to harness. wired for LONG coils!!!!
3.Drill a 54mm hole in the firewall for harness bushing.
4.Route harness thru firewall and mount MaxxECU. Mounting position is very dependent on engine placement and vehicle model.
5.Connect +12V with external relay (fused with 20A) to the extra 12-pin connector, pin 7 (G).
6.Connect +12V with external relay (fused with 20A) to the extra 12-pin connector, pin 1 (A).
7.Connect engine ground (brown wire) on cylinder head.
8.Connect alternator (pin 12 (M) on 12-pin connector) to +12V ignition (in serial with a charge bulb).
9.Connect starter trigger (pin 6 (F) on 12-pin connector) to start button (+12V).
10.Wire fuel pump, fan, ecu power, ground, alternator and engine starter to 12-pin connector.
11.Wire extra connections like wheel speeds, ethanol sensor etc to 16-pin connector.
12-pin connector (seen from the wire side)
Note: Pinout is from the wiring side of the extra connector, not the terminated harness.
