Where to buy: ECU loom 'plugs' male and female?

Postby RomanV » Wed Feb 21, 2007 3:50 pm

Okay so I want to make an adaptor loom, which plugs straight into a standard engine loom, and into another ecu which has a different pin configuration. (but the same shaped plugs)

Is there anywhere that I could get standard male and female 'plug ends', for standard toyota ecus?

I'd rather do this than hack up a perfectly good loom, and I can go back to the standard ecu easily if necessary.

thanks

Those connectors are quite common and are shared by the RX-8 some late model WRXs, some other Subarus, and a few Daihatsus :wink:

Patch looms can be had from http://www.autosportwiring.com/ and http://www.field-net.co.jp/lineup/onetouch/op.html and you could repin one of these. However this is the expensive option, though they might be able to supply plugs.

Motec can supply the ECU connector backplane and circuit board for you to make up your own loom, but you'd still need the loom plugs.

why not just use a small screwdriver to remove the pins from the plugs and rearrange them the way you need them? that would be free?

Because then it isnt 'plug and play', and it becomes a PITA to change back to the standard ECU. (when/if necessary)
