whats needed from each wiring loom??

[H15 NVA]

im re shelling my xe and cant remember how much is needed from each loom, know most of xe loom is needed for sensors etc but cant remember how much of nova one i used? brake fluid level or oil pressure etc as they run to the clocks dont they?? any help would be great!! cheers guys!

[Adam]

All the nova car loom is used.

Just use the XE engine loom.

Keep the nova starting/alternator loom.

[H15 NVA]

thought as much, know all nova lighting loom, wipers, heater etc needed but what about plugs for water temp, brakefluid, etc? just confused as thought most of that would go to ecu but also clocks for warning lights etc?

[Adam]

The only wire than goes from ecu to dash light is the ECU light.

Brakefluid, wipers etc are on the car loom.

[H15 NVA]

yeah can see they all on car loom but seem to join up to clocks etc, seems like the looms join together. dont wanna cut stuff out then find i need it!
think might run both looms, get car running and everything working properly then cut out all thats not being used.

What nova is it?
carb or injection?

Easy to wire if its carb or e16se.

If its SRi or Spi tho a bit more tricky, as you'll have to strip and remove the spi engine loom from the car loom.

[H15 NVA]

yeah its a 1.2 spi that some how my mate managed to blow up lol
think thats where im getting confused as gotta split the loom somewhere somehow.

[Adam]

You will have to take the dash out and trace the wires going to the spi ecu.
Rip out the ones going to the engine, but the ones like Perm 12v, Ign 12v etc you can join to the same colour wires on the XE loom.

[H15 NVA]

cool so basically any wires going to the spi ecu can be binned??

[staggy_gsi]

sorry to butt in, but whats involved when xe'ing an E16SE then? you said its easy but it aint to me!! lol

[Adam]

Well the E16se has a removeable ecu loom.
So you just unplug the engine loom, remove the ecu and thats it, your engine loom is removed.

Then fit the xe loom in and wire about 6/7 wires into the car loom behind the dash.

where would you find the spi ecu

[Adam]

Under the glovebox.
