EFI to Diesel conversion.

Slap him George!

No dramas mate! But you know what, i like scaring him with the threat of my lil brother around like on saturday when he and one of my other mates Rohan where here and they got smart so i started to fire up my brother and told him to put them to sleep with an arm triangle choke hold and they both ran off quick smart hahahaa

Any news on the donk?

Its a diesel, nuff said!! Lol nah when i get a chance i'm going to measure the clearances of the cylinder with the highest comp, reset the others and re asses the condition of the motor.

Saying that i need time, my bro and i are running the shop while my dads away and we've taken on enough work for 4 people so time is the only problem

When its time for the wiring I suggested he run a bunch of wires through the firewall and just leave hanging on either side. Used from some seven core trailer wire. Then he has more than enough wires to use for pretty much everything. This is what I did, I ran two lots of seven core through 1 inch ID flexi tubing so I no longer need to run wires, just join at either end. All colour coded too... Any of the pro auto elec's think it good to do that? This will be a nightmare of a job....

Really?? Trailer wire?? Thats only 7 or 10 amp wire, half the things he runs thru those switches need atleast 15 - 20amp wire so they don't burn out.

Yeah I didn't write that too well...when you run everything via a relay, thats all you need. The heavier wire required obviously run that separate. But I have all my relays in the engine bay and the switching wires via the tube I have fit through the firewall. Plus extras for other things I may want to fit...

Are you winning with the loom swap Bloodyaussie? I've taken out my entire dash and front interior only to realize how different my two looms are. I was planning on splicing them together but they seem to have different wires and they even run in different directions.

I think the difference between a series 1 TD loom and series 2 EFI loom is too different. I thought they would have been the same in cab but they aren't.

I'm at a loss as to what to do, I'm not very good with this wiring business. I feel like if I splice them together something will go wrong somewhere. Any suggestions? Do I just modify the EFI loom to suit the diesel?

I though those looms you buy for the conversions are just plug and pray.

Not up to that mate.... I am in no super rush so it maybe Saturday before I have the efi loom out and compare them on the ground.. I have been told the loom I have bought is a straight swap over as they are both series 2 looms.

Time will tell.. welcome to look at my loom if you like.

My loom was stripped out of a series 1 TD wagon. Where do you buy the plug and play looms from?

I'll be fiddling with mine again on Saturday. I'm really anxious to get it all in. I'm just not sure if I should adapt the TB loom or try and wing it and hope everything works with the TD loom.. It's a lot of work if it doesn't. I might need to come and have a look at yours.

Thanks for that guys. Pretty pricey but I'll have a look into it.
