Default Getting my head around the wiring looms

Hello all!

I'm having a slight brain fart at the moment and cant seem to get my head around the looms. First let me tell you what I'm going to be having on the car.

RB25DET engine (have old loom and plugs but all documents for this loom are in japanese and not 100% correct so will make a new engine loom from scratch...)
Megasquirt V3 MS3X to support 6 cyl
Megasquirt Loom
MS3X Loom
Acewell 7859 dash

So the issue i have is i have no looms at all and the car will need all wiring from scratch from car loom, engine loom, battery/starter loom, fuse box and relay stuff and dashboard and i have no clue where to start at the moment!

Do any of you guys know if there is a premade wiring kit that will save me some time that includes a fuse and relay box or if i should just wing it?

In an ideal world i would love a nice big diagram with everything on it to work from but have not found one and dont think i will! so any advice is more than welcome!

Thanks lads.

Alex

Car builder solutions have something that might help

http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/product/C...g_Module_WRMOD

It's a bit pricey but probably work out cheaper and easier than sourcing all the relays etc yourself.

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.

Some builders (Simon (Tatey) amongst them) used Premier looms and where happy with the products.
http://www.premierwiring.co.uk/
You need to send them an email as their website is just this page.

This company has also been recommended by Arfon (The Arf):
http://www.s-v-c.co.uk/category/rapid-fit-looms/
They have 3 universal looms, you might find what you need there.

Hope this will help

I too used premier looms, a fantastic help would never have managed the wiring myself otherwise

Great links guys! the looms from http://rapidfitlooms.co.uk/7stylewiringloom.htm look just the job! Nice work all thats going to save me a huge amount of time. Now the only question is it worth an extra £25 for the sierra switch gear to be preinstalled. Not sure if there is anything special about it?
