Thinking about wiring an E48 DTA Ecu into my mk6 RS 2000 and i was just wondering how fiddly its going to be? Does anyone have or know where to get the ecu wiring diagram for the standard ford ecu?

 

www.dtafast.co.uk

 

its not brain surgery but not he easiest job

 

Got the wiring diagram from there already. Got all the sensors etc sussed, its just things like the live to the ecu that i wanted to suss out. Was planning on using as much of the ford loom as possible as i don't think the car will ever be put back to standard.

Failing that i'll just have to make a whole new loom, which i really can't be arsed doing!!!

 

Bump

Any advice from the daytime crew?

 

There is a user on here who makes looms . errrrrr mark someone maybe!!!!

 

so cross ref both diagrams then use the power part of the ford loom

 

How did you do your P8 Jay? Did you connect into the loom at the Ford ECU end, or did you make a seperate loom for all the sensors?

 

complete new loom but if you have both loom diags then you can splice the ford loom onto the dta ecu plug

 

you'd be better going here for advise

Seeing as you have done this, what would you recommend? I'm thinking using the ford loom would be easier as there is no hassle routing wires etc, but is there a disadvantage? Only one i can see is trying to convert the car back to standard? Also will the Pats be effected? Obviously i'll have to leave the standard ECU in the car to keep it working?

 

its ryan

 

rs nutter as long as you have all the data its not a prob really

 

opps

 

i built a custom fit loom, but if i did it again i'd build a generic loom, so that it could fit any car, that way the loom will be of use to someone else when you sell it

 

you can splice the dta plug onto the original loom chap as long as it is in good condition itll be fine like i said before get both loom diagrams youll be able to trace what to connect each pin to

 

Think thats what i'll do Jay, just worried about the Pats system. I'll speak to the ECU supplier when i pick it up at the weekend.

I was looking at the DTA generic looms, but they are around £300!

 

yeh exspensive for what they are and dont fit right look untidy to but as long as you have a direct feed to everthing what the dta loom says then itll be fine

 

Ok cheers mate, i'll give this a blast next week.
