Haltech p1000 patch loom or wire in new loom?

[86psi]

Just after some thoughts from some of you guys that have been down this road before
I'm getting a new ecu currently have a motec m4 fitted in the factory ecu case and have bypassed wiring for the m&w ignition setup directly to the ecu.
Just want opinions on would I be better off wiring in a new loom with the new ecu or getting a patch loom and cutting into it where I need too?

 

[khubner1]

are you using a factory loom? if so build patch
if not full wire in

Yeh still factory loom. Yeh was thinking be easier to run the patch and bypass where I need too for ignition and what not. But then again the wiring in the car is old and be good to run new wiring but that might be more work then its worth

I had a mate re wire mine didn't take him that long really an all he had was a random loom from another car an the plug for the computer, looks heaps tidier cos we hid it all as we went.
You should be able to get a flying loom from haltec as well which will save a heap of time

Yeh was having a look at the wiring diagram looks easy enough just time consuming

 

[htgsr]

We spent a bit of time on it to keep it as tidy as possible an outta sight, was well worth it tho

Yeh I got heaps of plugs in the bay that arnt hooked up to anything. How did you go with the mpi relay

Yeh I got bigger problems then a non standard loom if the cops look under the bonnet lol
