Just an update on the loom:



I basically bought an XR3i EFi loom off e-bay and had an extra 1 thrown in for free. 1 of the looms seemed ok and the other one not so good. On closer inspection they were both not so good. One had a good car loom with all the extra's wired in but someone had cut off the ECU plug = No good. The other had been cut about, had a few melted wires in but the engine loom was perfect.

So basically I took the car loom from one and the engine loom from the other and made 1 good loom, turns out there are only a few common pickup points connecting the 2.

I then added an extra cable out of the EDIS to run my S2 rev counter. For this I ran a short wire from pin 11 as far as the original rev counter suppressor, cut the applicable plug from the other loom and plugged it straight into the rev counter wire, easy. I also moved the CPS plug to the other side of the engine bay to suit my 1.8 CVH crank pickup, again easy just using shielded cable bought from Maplin.

I've added some extra's in there too. I've added a time delayed interior light relay, the fading type like all modern cars have and also a "Lights on" warning.

Other than that I've just tidied any wiring faux pas that had been added, put heatshrink over any exposed wire and that's about it.

All that remains now is to trial fit it, once I'm happy I'll loom in the alarm and tape it all up.

Hope you like!
