VR4 RS Wiring Loom Help

[VIN18M]

Looking at the wiring loom in the picture attached, as far as I can tell the only section missing is the dash loom (cut section on left of page), would this be correct?

Also would I be correct in saying that this part of the loom would require splicing should the engine be fitted to another vehicle? LancerProton?

The bit missing is the body loom that runs from fusebox, up under drivers fender.
The dash loom plugs in near the yellow ecu plugs.

To wire this into a proton, you can cut the fuse box off it at the plug that is near the wiring that is not taped. you need to repin the plug to suit the proton as it will not plug straight in.

This is the case with the evo/gsr looms into proton. nor certain with vr4 looms, but it looks close.
obviously it won't fit straight in as Im sure there are differences in wire lengths and maybe the dash loom plugs as well.

Cool so in reality it's pretty close to a "complete loom"
Had a guy look at buying my engine today and he was concerned that he'd have a hard time finding the rest of the loom. He's putting the engine into a proton persona.

For ease i would get the evo loom as it is the right length and all the clips and bends are in the right spot.

however, if he has a proton with the mitsi ecu, then he only needs to run about 7 extra wires.

In saying that, maybe i would just shorten and rerun the vr4 loom.
the usual problem areas are that plug i told you, and radiator fans and maybe reverse lights. (with evo/gsr loom) Oh and tacho. if he has Siemens ecu. no pros if mitsi.
Vr4 will probably need the body loom plug redoing as well.

its not a hard job, but its not for the impatient and it needs a lot of pouring over circuit diagrams.

From what i can see. you have more than enough of the loom there.

I put a gsr loom in my proton jumbuck and i did the loom work myself, no sparky help.
plenty of help from this forum and yahoo groups tho. but you still have to know how to check the work is right

Yeah that's what I figured when I bought the engine, there was always going to be some modding of the loom but there was enough there for an auto electrician to keep what's needed and adapt everything else to the existing loom.
The persona is a 1.5L so I'm fairly sure they all had Mitsubishi ecu's, but being a 1.5L it's never going to be plug and play.
Thanks for your help Jack.
