Engine wiring loom (DTA)

I thought I’d rescued this from the old site, but unfortunately not so I’ve had to do a quick and dirty re-write.

I re-did my engine wiring loom when I installed the DTA S80, I thought I’d take advantage of all the features (or at least put the wiring in for them!)

  • Sensor connectors for air, water, crank etc sensors
  • Injector connectors
  • 22 gauge Motorsport/Military specification wiring
  • Souriau 8STA waterproof motorsport connectors
  • Twisted pair with shielding where required
  • Heatshrink/braiding
  • Idents for labelling 22 gauge wire
  • DTA programming/dyno box
  • DTA/Emerald ECU to PC leads/extension leads

Each wire has been colour coded with heat shrinkable “idents” to allow easy diagnosis of problems and allow tracability throughout the system – it also allows you have 100+ different colour codes so you never have to have the same coloured wire twice 🙂

Wires all coded up, crimped and ready to be inserted into the connector

All of the fancy connectors, the wire, idents and specialist crimpers were sourced from BF1 Connect ( http://www.bf1connect.com/ )

The “normal” connectors for sensors & braiding were sourced from Vehicle Wiring Products ( http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/ )

Heatshrink sourced from Maplin!

Once I find the CAD file, I’ll PDF the wiring loom layout for all to see…Found it!!  Shelsley engine wiring loom
