Thread: 4.6 with 14cux EFI into 85 110

What they dont like being strapped to the tray .

Haha.....nah I get the twins in the front with me......just.

Major win this afternoon (for me anyway) with this project.

Turns out wiring loom for the EFI is separate to the main loom. Spent most of the afternoon removing dash etc to get a clear look at it all and turns out it wasn't necessary.

Have the EFI loom sitting on top of the motor.

Not sure if there was a cut off date for the integrated loom but this is a March 95 Disco.

Now on with the rest of it.

Stoked!

Well I have just finished removing a 3.9 from a '94 RRC and replacing it with a '95 D1 300TDi engine and have a better idea of how the later looms work. There's still a load of extra connections on the engine loom but the body side seems to be plug-n-play for the two engine types. All you need to do now is work out how few wires you actually need to connect to make it run...

As usual I think I may have jumped the gun on what I understood an integrated wiring loom to be and what I thought I had in my hand. Nothing new there for me. Derp.....

So if I may ask another question....

The 2 plugs on the EFI loom. 1 is a brown 7 pin type plug, the other is white 20 pin type. I can see that the main 3 or 4 wires/connections I will need to make it run are on the brown 7 pin connector, according to the EFI wiring diagram I have and the information already given.

Is it feasible to now just extend from the brown plug to the appropriate spots (ignition on, fuel pump etc)?

If it is in fact feasible to do this, what do I do with the white plug? Just wrap it up and forget about it? Cut it off?

Wish you started this a few months ago Mick, I just cut all these plugs out of my loom from my 94 lse, I only ended up using the starter, alt, oil, temp, a/c wires.
I do have a 93 rangie here, but would like to keep it running so I can move it around.
Will see if I can find a 93 loom for you.

You're going to have to work it out yourself. From a quick look at the white plug there's a tach wire, an alt light wire and a couple of other familiar colours. If you run those things off your old engine harness you won't need them in the new. The brown plug has a fused battery supply (brown/green) and the starter motor too. Also note your new engine harness has no fuses, you'll have to work out where to put them.

Thanks Damien. It's looking like this is the way I have to go. I'm just not electrically endowed.

Maybe I should just go buy a 93 wreck and get everything I need off it.
