Quick wiring job

[rovercare]

Bob the brickies rod, just a quick wire up to get the engine running, left the loom in a mess as he's tidying up, just needed the technical bit done

Brand new LS1 and 4L60e from WASP industries

stuff that, I envy people who can get in there and make sense of all that. I'd be lost the minute the door was opened. :D

too far away or Id have volunteered for a crack at it.

Wired many EFI engines? give me the spiel on which ones?:)

I have done 3 Holden EFI 304s into Kingswoods. One day I will got off my backside and get cracking on the 4th one. Pretty straightforward stuff if you have a wiring diagram and patience.

mainly the rover stuff but a couple of holdens one ford and a handfull of repowers into trucks.

is it a drop in kit with everything pre loomed or are you making the efi side of the loom from scratch?

Mainly Ive done drop in stuff or swapped whole assemblies into different vehicles and have always had the advantage of having the wiring diagram and schematics on hand to nut it out with. Once youve got that its a case of time and patients as you lay the loom. An audible continuity tester with a long lead and a set of test clips/pins is likely to be your best friend in the early stages if its a multi segment loom

Always make them from scratch, seem to end up with a much better interface loom that way as opposed to someone elses rubbish:angel::D

Yea, holdes are pretty basic, which is nice, the LS engine series is even easier than the delco stuff

Couldn't tell you how many and what I've done now, think the next one is a BA XR6 turbo engine in a 240Z

Im a really big fan of the short throw looms...

the different parts of the harness come premade and strapped for the engine and have about a 12 inch fly lead on them down the back with a multi plug on it. The kit contains the other side of all the relevent multi plugs and all the pinning you need to set it up.

Drop engine in, clip the short throw looms to the fire wall, place the ECU and gauges where you want them and then wire the plugs to suit. Engine outs become as simple as disconect 2 multi plugs, disconnect the main starter lead and then unbolt the donk.

Yea, but the looms I make are betterer:p

Because I can mount the relays, fuses and everything where I see fit, without either not enough length or large excess, limiting locations

thats the point of the short throw loom.


for the rover v8 theres 2 plugs and the main power lead to the starter motor that you have to undo instead of cocking around disentangling the whole loom

looking at it from the flywheel the left hand side gets the 4 left injectors, dizzy, coil, MAF, AFM, Idle air bypass, temp sensors and the right hand side gets the 4 right injectors, the alternator wiring, the starter control, AC, low oil pressure.

the leads from that lot are nice and short from the back of the engine, the rest of the harness you get to make yourself

No, the point of the ready made loom, is to have it set up so a novice can do it, no need to attack the loom, just make a nice interface, with pretty plugs, exactly as you buy, but a better fit and generally wired in a more pragmatic fashion:D

If i had the nouse i'd do my commodore again and tidy up the loom when the motor goes back in, but i havent got the nouse :D I can happily rebuild an engine though.
