Car(s): SAXO 1.6 VTR RALLY CAR PHASE 2 SAXO VTR PHASE 1

Default Vtr engine into 1.4 sx

i wonder if anyone can shed any light on the following.

i have a p reg 1400 saxo sx which i have built into a road rally car.

i have replaced the 1400 engine with an early black top vtr engine. i have used the injectors, ecu and inlet manifold along with the engine bay wiring harness off the 1400 engine. it seems to be all the same and i have run into no major issues apart from the vtr not having a knock sensor on the block. i have fitted it off the 1400 engine to the block which i think should be fine. theres 3 light blue wires going off into the engine fusebox, i wonder if anyone know what they are for? because the issue i have is the fuel pump isnt working. i cut the wires without marking them up and now cant remember which goes where(School boy error for a dealer trained mechanic) i can get fuel pump to work if i put a live into the fuse for the fuel pump. have i been stupid for trying this conversion or should it work? im running out of time as i have a rally in afew weeks and am tearing my hair out. i have the complete loom and ecu off the vtr as well.

Many thanks

Gareth

Can you get it to turnover/fire? Me and someone else off here both ran into problems doing an engine conversion on the 96 model saxos. i solved my problem with changing the interior loom to match

one of the blue wires might be the live for the fuel pump?
