Good plan, quick question...what did you do with your loom? Is it the honda one all cut up etc

[mrthumb]

yea standard honda loom stripped and gutted of everything not needed. We used several guides/diagrams we found online and autodata software to label each cable as best we could.

[KieranB]

awesome, the more i read into looms the more i get confused and also the more turned away from the minitec loom. Have you got any of these diagrams available? i've found some, but more wouldnt hurt :)

blimy ill dump every piece of info i have into this...

error codes for the ECU..
http://www.hondatuni...error_codes.php

another honda wiring guide.
http://honda-tech.co...d.php?t=2987229 (ideal for identifying plugs, pin outs etc)

We have "autodata. 3.18" which you can find on any good torrent site.. its excellent software that garages use to find out everything they need about your engine. ECU pinout's, wiring diagrams, torque specs loads of stuff....

i have also attached a diagram someone has made in the past. some sites tried to sell it but i found a alternative source.  miniwiringdiagram.pdf   303K   75 downloads

heres everything on your loom...

OH one more thing...
a guide to how to wire a car... my friend found it. some good do's and dont's in there.

now this is pretty much all we used as reference to deconstruct and remake a engine loom.

basically your sitting down, looking on autodata to see what pins do what and you label those wires and then get rid of the ones you dont need. its labourous task. but i think with patience anyone can do it.

Thanks again

also if anyone is useing a acewell series and want to use the standard gearbox readout instead of a magnet... i messaged acewell and this is the reply i got :)

Hi Tom,
The Acewell uses a rising edge signal crossing 2.5v to detect a pulse.
This pulse can either be from a magnet / hall sensor or a 3 wire gearbox sensor (models listed below only).
If the voltage is too high from your gearbox sensor then you'd need to use a transistor to pull the green wire to ground operated from the output of your gearbox sensor.
Your gearbox sensor will have 3 wires. One is +ve. one is -ve and the third is the output wire.
You calibrate the computer by entering the circumference of the driven wheel into the "c" screen and the number of pulses generated by the gearbox per wheel revolution into the "p" screen.

The following computers, are compatible - they can cope with a max speed input frequency of 7KHz

ACE-3252
ACE-3254
ACE-397x
ACE-4x54
ACE-5x56
ACE-5x56
ACE-7x56

Best Regards
Craig

my next step in the build!
my head rattles when i try and think about everything that has to be done...

finish the wiring to a "turn key" state.. (biggest job yet)
hmm more stonechipping on the inside of the a panels.
finish modifying and fit the fiberglass front end.
drill out studs in the door hinges and replace with modern m8 bolts. (they rusted out)
buy loads of soundproofing and make the car quiet.
modify the brake lines at the front, ( they touch the wheels on full lock)
install bulkhead wiring connectors and smeer with white lithium grease
get the dash powercoated leatherette matt black.
hmm thats all i can think off at the moment, im just fixing all the switches to the dash today.

im off work today, me and my dad were both ill in the night must of been somthing we ate. still feel a bit sick. but trying to get a few things done!

[KieranB]

Sounds good, i've got my head stuck in these wiring diagrams just now, oh what fun.

Good effort, no sickness can stop vtec'ing, I've got a close eye on how you get on :)

Kieran

[mrthumb]

hah feeling better now allways the way. ^^

1 thing my mate kept mentioning when we were cutting up the wires was how many earths are shared here and there. so be ready for multiple wires to be joined where you dont expect it.

Ah the pic is too small i cant read the labels have you got the original?

[mrthumb]

hmm thats as large as it goes. you realise you can click on it to make it bigger dont you? its quite readable then :)

[Rhys]

Good to hear that it's all possible! It looks like you're having a great time doing everything. Congratulations on that.
