Post Converting wiring from 1.4 to 1.8vvc
Please can anyone help me with regards to conecting a MGF engine loom to a metro loom the VVC loom from the MGF has two plugs not one like the metro loom fitted to my Libra. I also want to fit it without the 5as unit what is the best way to get around this?
Thanks Matthew

Hi Mathew,
I think you might need to get extra wiring looms from GTM, I think it depends on the ECU you use but I think you'll need some kind of relay pack. I'm sure someone with more knowledge on this will let you know exactly whats needed :oops:
Re the 5as, you'll need something like this to pass the signal to the ECU

My son's mates put a 1.8k-series from a 2002 Elise (non vvc) into a Metro GTI and had send the ecu to Talon to get the electrics sorted. I believe that had 2 plugs on the engine loom. They used the Metro box but had to buy a flywheel (from a Rover 200 i think :? ) as the neither of the flywheels they had worked with the crank sensor and the gearbox. It's probably worth speaking to Talon, they seem very clued up. I still have the pg1 box, flywheel, slave cylinder, starter and driveshafts. Part of the cable adapter is missing, i don't know the g/box ratio code as the label has fallen off :!: If this lot is of any use to anyone i can get it to Stoneleigh in May. I'll post it in "for sale" nearer the time. Incidently the Metro went like a scalded cat :!: :!:

Talon do a code generator that does away with the need for a 5AS.

It still needs aligning to the ECU but does the job.

OOPs should have read the previous post more carefully :oops:
