FAO wiring Gurus. Jack, Mowgli, Dave d... People who have wired there conversions in?

[Danb1987]

So this is where iv come stuck to a point of despair!

Here is three images that iv used paint to edit hopefully so people can explain what the fudge I'm supposed to be doing :|

These are all wired from a v6 c25xe calibra loom

1.? Dave D says it may not be needed. Hopefully not
2.Ecu live= direct to battery?
3.Switched ignition live= somewhere in engine bay loom?

Single black connector
1. Red/blue trace fuel pump live? = fuel pump live

Green connector
2. Brown/blue trace = Ecu warning light to brown/yellow trace on nova choke light?
3. Brown/white trace
4. Brown/yellow trace
5. Brown/purple trace
6. Black/white trace
7. Green = Nova rev counter?

Black connector
8. Black
9. Red/white trace
10. Blue = temp display nova dash? surely I could connect my existing engine bay spade connector?
11. Black/red trace

Please feel free to copy and paste what is what and where it goes?

I'm on a massive learning curve with all this wiring an atm I feel live iv bitten off more than I can chew.

Thanks dan

Also Lee, Hobbit, Nobby and David Dixon are useful regarding this ;)

What Nova loom do you have?

[Danb1987]

Mk1 saloon mate, 1984. Some of the wires are different to the ones in my 1988 hatch same but different.

An I right in thinking I don't even need to chop into the wiring inside the car?

Like connect the dash temp gauge to the existing one in the engine bay?

Same as for revs etc

I have 6 dial clocks.

Pm all the people I mentioned to this thread, I'm sure one of them can give you decent info. ;)

haha lol lol lol plus rep

[Hobbit]

I have no idea what I'm on about. lol

[Jack]

Got a Haynes? Mine was a saab loom, knowing what they're like they probably changed every colour wire just for the hell of it lol

I'll try and have a look tomorrow at mine

[mowgli]

i'll dig out my books from the loft & see what i've can find tomorrow too.

[Southie]

They were names of people who I knew had done/had conversions of this type, no need for a smart **** reply :roll:

So have you got an answer for Dan that will help, you usually have an answer that's helpful regarding a conversion!

1.? what colour is the inner wire?
2.Ecu live= direct to battery CORRECT
3.Switched ignition live= you can connect this to the black wire on your ignition barrel (use electric tester to make sure which is the switched live)

Where Is The Ecu Earth Wire?

No clue about these?

1. one of the knock sensor plugs
2. for now don't worry about plug 2 and 3
3. see above

Same again no clue.

Black connector
8. Black
9. Red/white trace
10. Blue = temp display nova dash? surely I could connect my existing engine bay spade connector? There should be a spade connector on the c25xe loom that fits to the dash temp sensor so connect the blue to the dash blue!
11. Black/red trace
12. Black/blue trace

Thanks dan

I have answered within the quote!

[Danb1987]

Thanks Dave appreciate that, I managed to get it started up yesterday :D took a few try's but it starts first turn of the key,

Still miles away from finishing thow as It needs plumming up etc,
I also want to do something with the wiring loom as I manage to break the rear plastic L peice which gutted me slightly.

Thanks for all the help lads!

[mowgli]

i was ploughing thru my old omega manual, for the wiring & it seems the black & green connectors are so the ecu can send info to the aircon/abs auto box etc. i think you should be ok ignoring most of them
