just wondering where i can find the wires to join into nova loom for a 2.0 8v conversion.. (c20seh)

i have the engine loom with ecu, but where are the wires i need to join upto the old nova loom..

on the loom going to the ecu there is 2 or 3 plugs (one is green iirc) is this where i get the wires from??

on that same loom there is a big red wire (does this just go straight onto battery?

cheers

Ignore the small plugs, they are for dash feeds.

Connect the thick red wire directly to the battery.

There should be a small plug on a red wire with a blue trace. Connect that to your fuel pump.

Find the largest brown wire in the loom, splice into it and earth it, either to the battery or the body.

Near the coil plug on the loom, you'll find a single black wire with a plug on it. Cut off the plug and connect it to the black wire that used to supply the coil from your old engine (i found that was the neatest solution, unless the car used to run an injection engine, in which case, find an alternative switched live from somewhere)

That should get it running :)
