oh s***. I'll take pics of my harness tomorrow, I've labeled all the connections that need to be made..
I have the starter signal, ignition, main ignition relay power, and injector power all at the fuse box. at the ECU is just fuel pump relay, but that is also under the fusebox, I just have yet to find it. I believe all essentials can be done under the hood, things like tach and coolant gauge etc are at the ECU.
this is courtesy of justin (IukekiniProtege) the wiring chatter starts somewhere around page 84 on lewis' build thread. His is by far the most detailed in terms of wiring that I have bookmarked.
as Ihone said, reuse all the ground points, make sure they're clean. Look for the fuse panel plugs, there's at least two on my harness. They hold the most important vital-to-starting/running wires.
I plan to do my connections after the motor is in the car, well actually I'm planning on wiring most the engine before I even drop it in.
another hint, document everything you do, double check every connection before you make it, and solder them.
lemme know if you need P5 wiring charts, I have a online viewing link of the P5 wiring service manual. I only have probe wiring otherwise, and its all different colours.
the P5 is wired differently, and most of it needs to stay in order for the car to retain its functions. The probe/mx6 has a split harness where as the proteges doesn't split in the cabin. I'll be surprised if you're able to remove much of it, though I don't really know yet.
now if you'll excuse me I've been inspired to get out to the garage and get some work done. good luck! keep us updated
