    Default wiring for c16xe and x16xel engine into nova

    just a quick question

    Im going to be putting a c16xe and a x16xel engine into two nova soon, just needing some info on the wiring for these engines.

    For the c16xe and the x16xel i have two plugs, a 3 wire one which i think is for the air con? wire colours are on both engine looms
    Black/green
    Black/white
    Black/blue

    Now on the c16 loom i have a larger plug with 9 wires into it which are

    Red- battery live
    Black- ignition live
    Large black- unknown
    Brown/yellow
    Brown/white
    Blue/red
    Red/blue fuel pump?
    Green- rev counter
    Blue/brown

    And now the x16xel

    brown/white
    brown/yellow
    red/blue - fuel pump
    blue/red
    green- rev counter
    blue
    brown/blue
    black/brown

    Anyone help?

    The 3wire one(black/green etc etc) isn't needed in a nova.
