One for the loom builders/electrical buffs.
I'm currently building my own engine loom and just want to clarify a few things before I finish it and get told "you could/should have done it this way"
This is where I am at.
I've used 1mm^2 (16a) thinwall for all sensor feeds and 2mm^2 (25a) for main supplies and grounds and AMP branded connectors.
Ive kept to the standard Ford wire colours for the most part for ease. Although I meant to order 10metres of Black/Red and ordered 10 metres of black and 10 metres of red so some of the wires are different and I've had to document it.
The whole loom will be finished in Reychem DR-25 sleeving, adhesive breakout boots and a Deutsch connector on the bulkhead.
After a lot of reading I've used twisted pairs and tripples for noise suppression on the obvious connections (as apparently Pectel recommend this on Weber rather than screened?) and also on the rest of the loom for neatness and rigidity.
Main harness. This isn't my version of concentric twisting(!) this was just to get a rigid harness to test route it for length.
Few things I need to know,
Firstly, how does this look to people in the know?
Do the cam sensor and phase sensor wires need to be separately sleeved or can they be put together like so to save on materials?
Are they really ok as twisted pairs and tripples?
Can anyone tell me the amp draw or what size cable is ideal for the coilpack loom from the ignition amps.
Anything else I've overlooked?
Cheers.
