hi there
i have eventually got my blade engine into my mk chassis so im all happy there
now comes my problem the electrics?
last night i spent two hours of head scratching trying to lay the loom (with origanal loom tape on it ) out on the chassis to see the best way to position it

has any one got any tips how best to position it ?
is it better to take of the origanal loom tape and split the loom down?

many thanks stuart

Take the wires you need out, I ended up with about 10 wires for the ECU and then a further 5 wires to the starter relay.

I've got a document that shows how to strip the loom and what parts you need from it. If you u2u me your email address I'll send it over to you.

We basically stripped out the engine loom and scrapped the rest. We then made up our own loom for the rest of the wiring.

Talk to Andy Bates he can tell you everything you need to know about running minimal wires he said mine is going to use 7 wires but you need a diode to fool the engine into working without the key.
