_shaun_ Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 in the engine bay loom did u just take out the starter motor and alternator wiring and scrap the rest or is there anything else that needs to be kept?cheers shaun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 With the motec the loom set up is the same so it's a case of swapping pin outs at the ecu end and maybe a few sensor plugs in the loom, what ecu is it your using Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 a dta s60pro but am running a custom loom for that. just not sure about the starter/alternator or if any have to be kept for other purposes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Nah pal just that and fan wiring but that's on other half of loom, Ah temp sensor for dash mines the sensor closest to the rad Remember the wiring from...Alternator to dash 4 battery lightAnd exciter wire to starterAnd what ever method of boost control you are using Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 aye got the other loom sorted was just the engine loom i wasnt sure on. dont supose u no how many wires come off the alternator? will be using the dta to control boost so that will be on the custom loom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 4 wires come off it I believe where they go and their purpose I don't, one or two will work their way to the dash display. Others may go ecu??? Couldn't be sure. My battery lights on at the mo so I'm gonna get round to doing some checks soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 am sure its a dumb question but any idea how it regulates the charge to the battery? wondering if the wires have anything todo with that cause if there just for a light on the dash they can get choped aswell lol.

yaristurbo Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Think it's a internal regulator that regulates current to the field , would be good to see a wiring diagram for the charging circuit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
