Anyone know anyone with a Noble M12 GTO3R?

Bit of a long shot but does anyone happen to know anyone with a Noble M12 GTO3R (or happen to have one lurking in the garage)?
Another project I'm involved with now has an engine from one of the above but we are really struggling to get engine loom wiring diagrams.
There are a few forums on t'interweb but if you thought Caterham owners were cliquey, try this lot. We haven't been able to join any of them as we only own 1/2 a Noble!!
Any help gratefully recieved.

Have you tried noble themselves?

Or am i being naive?

Isn't it a Ford V6 motor?

I'm guessing it's not in "standard" trim, but the standard diagrams might be some help.

I know of someone with one, I've asked him if he has access to them

Marvellous! Fingers crossed.
Yes, we've contacted the factory (and everyone else!) but unless you have the car they are not forthcoming.
The engine is basically, as pointed out, a 3.0 Duratec but puts out about 350Bhp with two turbos hanging off it. The ecu is done by MBE but it's a custom one for Noble and they can't release any info directly.

Cant you get rid of the noble stuff then, and go MS or OMEX?

Yes we could or we could go for the standard MBE9 but as we already have the 975 it would be a more (relatively!) Locost solution to stick with what we have if at all possible.

No joy I'm afraid

one of my mates has a 3r, is it just the wiring diagram you want?
