I'm doing a 1293 turbo, can anyone point me in the right direction of which wiring loom I need to buy? I no it won't be any of the injection ones but there seems to be quite a few different carb looms

Loom for what exactly ?

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

Buy the loom appropriate for your year of vehicle, and the dash/lights/switches etc you will be using.

You have the parts, so only you can make that decision ?

The fact it may have a turbo engine, isnt really relevant.

Yer but the wiring loom for my car is the loom with the ecu for injection, but I'm not running ecu, using the carb!

having said that, I used a late 80's loom in mine. it had the pre-engaged starter and servo wiring, side repeaters etc

If your car is an SPi than switching to the carb loom of the same year should be easy.If its an MPi than its a bit more complicated as the fusebox and several relays will be in different locations. If its an MPi do you have to ( or want to ) retain SRS for MOT. Do you want to retaine the alarm even though you will lose the immobilizer with the ECU. If you are running a programmable ignition you are going to need to make up a sub loom for that seperatly .

Just bear in mind that if you are changing an SPi to a carb, you're likely to struggle to meet the emissions test at an MOT.

So you already have a complete car including functional wiring loom ?

Would be a bit mental changing that if all you're doing is changing the engine

Adapt what you need, the turbo engine basically only needs a couple of wires.

Emissions test goes on whichever you can prove to be older. In this case the turbo engine.

How you actually prove that though....is another matter despite it being obvious it is older.

Yes, but changing your engine with the DVLA is such a pain that I'd rather not bother.
