I'm taking the c20let out of my Calibra and anything needed to run it in the nova.
I've got the loom from the ECU which passes over the injectors and ends at ICV end.
But I'd like to fit the diagnostic plug!
How hard would it be? Has anyone done it? How much work would it involve?

Should be relatively simple. Just follow the calibra wiring diagram and wire it in

I am planning on doing the same on my xe nova lol

I wouldn't bother. You don't get that much back, wire the brown/yellow(creamy trace) to a switch to a ground. Then you can flash your ecu codes out easier. They are the only ones of any use really.

Oh yeah. Duh.
I only need the two wires I'd bridge when doing paperclip test. The other pins do ABS, air bag, fuel comp. (on some) and 4x4

I was looking at following ALL the plug wires back.
Thanks Benn

Yeah they just arnt really worth it, i have a switch on my brown/yellow so save messing about. Just flick it and you see the codes.
