as am i..
i dont know why you would use the el manifold loom and make adaptors as its just as neat if not neater to just use the eb loom.. once its done you cant even tell.. just look how factory bens and my loom looks. its only 2 extra wire for the knock sensor. 2 extra wires for the bbm solinoid and 2 extra wires if you want your thermo fans running of the ecu.. a total of 6 wires neatly taped up and run through the fire wall.. unless you do a whole body loom swap i dont see the point.. and at any time we can unplug it and re fitt the eb manifold and loom with no fuss.

A full loom swap was one of the reasons I don't want to change the engine loom... I am putting an EL motor in and an el front end.. decided if I want to go the way of BenJ and do the dash too, I'd rather just swap the whole loom...
still, will see how this works.. if it doesn't I guess I'll be doing it that way as well. |

As I understand it.. it retards the timing by up to 4 degrees if it detects detonation.

Sorry (lateness)I used the EB loom, i had to alter to fit the in and around the BB manifold n to hook up the ISC etc. I havent hooked up the knock sensor either. retards the timing hey. when i first had the motor in it used to ping under load, running on premo helped, all i did was retard the timing (base ignition timing- i think) cos the timing light showed it was advanced slightly. ever since then no pinging but i wondering if i lost tiny bit of power doesnt quite feel the same.

yep you should have only had to extend the isc and tps wires.. the rest is a straight fit. |

I also had to extend the Coil wire and the Air Temp wires.

BenJ I had to extend the airtemp wires (while it was in the car and threaded through, not fun) but the coil just reached iirc |

there must be slight differences in loom lengths or its in the way its routed?
with mine i only had to extend the tps and isc wires. and when we did mrs eb ghias car i only had to extend tps,isc and the wire to the starter.. |

with mine it all JUST squeezed in. just extended the 2 sets of wires. tho its not all plug and play for everyone. my old EA used 2 TPS's one for the gearbox which had a seperate computer to run it. and the ISC was a completely different plug. my NC however... since its more like an EL then an EB it had all the correct plugs from factory. so now i have spares

2 extra wires for the bbm solinoid and 2 extra wires if you want your thermo fans running of the ecu.. a total of 6 wires neatly taped up and run through the fire wall.. Hi Troyman, Hope everything's been cool for you. Where exactly through the firewall did you run the wires? Did you have to remove any of the dash?
