I fear that my engine loom is getting a little bit tired so was thinking of creating my own new fresh loom

i saw a kit on fleebay with all the connectors and was just going to make one myself using electrical wire from a local shop, i was wondering if anyone has attempted this before and if its something worth doing?

does it have to be a certain ampage? im really not very clued up on electronics

 

be vary carfull, some of the wiring shielded to protect it from interference (think the crank and phase sensor wires and poss others) so you cannot just use any wire or you could have all sorts of problems

not something i would try yourself if you have never done any wiring before ,

id recommend getting one done by ....

ill get a few quotes but quite fancied creating one myself, would be much cheaper too

Seen a few people create their own looms online, one guy inparticular created a new loom for his 20 year old mercedes...

... then again i also come acrost a video on youtube of a cossie on fire, is it an OMEN? i hope not

had a mate create a loom for a supercharged vw jetta, might see how that goes first

 

If your not clued up on electrics its probably not something I would advise doing.

It needs to be right or you will end up with a very troublesome running engine.

I'd stick with what you have or give Ryan a call.

 

Ryan is tops!!!

It takes a lot more work than you could ever imagine. I did my three dr bit by bit by stripping the original tape and fixing wherever needed.

 

does this ryan have a mail adress where I can reach him ?

 

carloomsuk@hotmail.com should work fine.

 

It's easy if you know what you are doing, like all things really.
Good advice above though don't diy unless totally confident, there 's only a few wires need shielding, this is due to proximity reasons to high voltages(ht leads).
The best wire to use is type 44, the guy I use has been doing these before most on here were born, and gives a lifetime warranty on all his looms, has made in all forms of motorsport inc F1 where Ferrari even x ray the connections!!
He;s made some very "radical" looms as well, he does mostly TVR, as the insulation is the favourite "treat" of mice who chew through it on a seriously regular basis on tvr cars.
And tvr's are the biggest pita to fit looms into!!
