Testarossa pinout box

I was just reading some old threads about the prior equipment used to connect to the ignition ECU.
The OTC 3226 is readily available on ebay but what isnt is the adapter used on the TR, the OTC 3226-17 which I believe was for the Bosch 55 connectors and related.
We can grab the 3226 all day for $100 but the adapter would help even more if you had a way to make that.
This is the tester without the adapter we need.

Would be great if someone built a complete unit and rented it around the community as needed.

There is also this old thread with a pic of a box Adrian in Germany built a few years back.

It would be great if we could rekindle this and find a working solution as I am surely tired of chasing gremlins with my DVM.

 

What kind of gremlins? I’m a new Testarossa owner and I’d like to be familiar with the things that can go wrong. Sorry if it’s too off topic.

 

I may have an ignition ECU as we speak and finding one to confirm that or swap in as part of testing would be highly of interest to me. A rentable package for those that run into issues I think would be a great way for everyone to more quickly determine issues without the incredibly tedious wire by wire approach.

 

I would believe a good electronics technician could make up an adapter.

 

LOL! You can't be a new TR owner. There haven't been new TR's in 30 years. Just kidding. I hope you enjoy it. But, you need to be good with automotive electrical to own these cars. The gremlins will possess your car and you must learn how to perform exorcisms. Sometimes it can be messy. Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

for those messy things we have a well knowledgeable member: steve

I bought the gold connector kit for my TR in 2011 from SRI. They include all the female pin connectors (and just about everything else). Car ran better afterwards, and still does 10 years later; I remember being fascinated how different systems would 'wake up' as I slowly and methodically went about replacing the connectors throughout the car. Seems that decades of being disconnected, reconnected and corrosion take their toll. If you looking to remove electrical system variables from diagnosing engine issues, I would consider the kit.

I too looked high and low for a breakout box (and a 'Jofatron' if I am spelling that correctly). If you make a few boxes, please PM me.

 

mouser may have

I replaced some originals with better ones , so more tension and also gold plated

 

Jason,

What ever happened with this?

 

I sent you a message

 

Any schematics for this box?
