Retrofit 2.8 BDE loom into 3.6 BWS loom = ?
Here is a project that has been a long time coming and I hope it is a fruitful venture. I'm sure there will be many perils and pitfalls along the way but, if you know me, i find that that is the part that once overcome, is the most rewarding.
Here we go...
I've spent hours in mapping things out and there is only so much theory you can do before it becomes pointless and you just have to physically start the job where things actually start making sense.
Here are some progress pics, which is just going to look like a bunch of wires to most people but, fingers crossed, the project comes together nicely.
LEFT: is a significant chunk of the 3.6 loom
RIGHT: don't need it so it goes in the spare parts box to leave me with the integral 3.6 sensors
Now comes the fun part - labelling everything. These are all of the wires originating from the 3.6 loom - lots going on but this simplifies it for me.
You can clearly see the BWS on the left and BDE (with the plenum chamber plugs) on the right.
LEFT: As I find the equivalent wire in the 2.8 loom, the label comes off and is filed away
RIGHT: I'm trying to keep things as neat as possible so some wires from the 3.6 need to be spliced into the wires that join the body loom to the interior loom. In the BWS these wires all run straight through the firewall without a useful interconnect like on the BDE.
That's it so far. Will be working on this remotely with the owner till i get myself back to NSW. For now... watch this space
