Looks like a top guide. Im putting a gte astra loom in,car was origionally a gsi. According to your guide it will just be simply wired up in the bay, to the plug by the brake servo? No need to get under the dash/ behind clocks?

Should be mate, thats how I done mine. I "think" the plug might even fit the GSi one but could be wrong so could be a case of just swapping around a few wires.

Just finishing my loom, but do i need to use wires out of the black connection?

how to convert a spi nova loom:

get the glove box out, undo the ecu, and cut ALL the wires to the 2 ecu plugs. unwrap the loom that goes through the bulkhead ( remove the tape) and do the same in the bay. pull the wires INDIVIDUALLY (one at a time) until no more come out. you will be left with the dash feeds and the fule pump wire, and a few permanent lives and switched lives. now drill a hole at the top of the bulkhead at the drivers side, feed your new engine loom through. pull the spare wires through from the bay under the glove box and back across the dash to the fuse box. connect em to the 3 small plugs and make sure to connect the fuel pump also. if the wires dont reach extend them, or, take the dash out, untape the dash loom, pull the wire across and retape it all. use the switcheds and permanents to feed the new loom. easy peasy. remember to tape it ALL up!
if this seems a bit complex then id stay with a 1.2 tbh, and build your skills, as the spi's are harder to do, and for a novice impossible....... its the ONLY way to do it. i did mine in car took 20 mins but i knew what i was doing, if ya aint got a haynes, get it and read it. otherwise you will fook it up! if ya put the starting and charging loom on the lump when its out its easier.
hope this helps.

Only the temp guage wire potentially depending on whether you use the one on the engine loom or the existing nova one.

Cheers Simps. I think i'll use the blue out of the original loom and join it to the black connector..

[The Simps]

The blue in the car loom already goes to the dash board so you won't need to touch the black plug as long as you use the blue thats in with your light loom to connect to the stat.
