how much off the loom do i need to remove from the vitara?
is there any where that i can send the loom to get fixed and have it made shep proof?
i have never played with a non carby motor and i dont want the smoke to come out.

if i can find a auto box i want to stick it in as well, will the manual computer thing
run the auto or do i need to look for a auto puter to start with?

You can take about 75% of the loom out.

Send it to Killa Kustom Kables. Or Royce

There's a separate TCC (transmisison control computer) that takes temperature, speed and throttle position signals from the ECU (and transfer case range, but I imagine that's a direct feed from the transfer. You can patch an auto TCC onto a manual computer an get it to work.

Probably easier to find an auto donor car if you are looking to swap to an AW-4 auto though.

Yes, the loom can be stripped heavily. You really only need the engine loom, which once you get the whole loom out the the car, you will see isn't very big. Then it's just a matter of locating and running the VSS and check engine light wires.

As an example:

2000 Baleno loom:



Just the engine loom:



Except for one wire incorrectly connected, I had this stripped, shortened, and in the car without a diagram and without error.

It's not hard, just time consuming.

This is the shortening process:

before shortening:



After shortening:



And the finished engine bay:



EFI engine bays don't have to look messy.

Send me the Complete to the drivers seat Vitara loom and at least the engine bay half of the Sierra loom (I think all of it would be better) and ill sort you out

(by sort you out I mean ive never done a 1.6 or sierra one before but it cant be that hard can it, I mean Stekky made his work)

The J20 and sierra looms were jut dropped into a post-pack. Letme know when they are done

I've heard Killa Kustom Kables a fair bit. I guess that means they're good/affordbale?

They are good. $400 I believe for a G16B loom. Considering the tome and material costs its not a bad option at all.
