Some of my winter projects;

Hi All,
I thought I’d update you on some of the projects that I’ve been working on this winter.
These are four looms for hillclimb single seaters – using S100 ECU’s to control individual coil-on-plugs, 4 injectors (8 on the two Hayabusa cars), sequential injection with cam sensors, paddle-shift pneumatic gear change and four wheel speed sensors for launch and traction (including two rotary pots);
• PCD Saxon Suzuki GSXR1100W
• GWR Raptor Suzuki GSXR1600
• GWR Raptor 2 Suzuki GSXR1400 supercharged
• GWR Predator Cosworth BDG2000 FTR
As far as they can be, the four looms are identical with respects to functions and ECU pinouts; the two busa systems are fully interchangeable as are the steering wheels for all four cars, despite different dash types. (Full integrated carbon wheel with SX dash is a work-in-progress). Each loom has been custom made to fit each car, but I’ve tried to make cable routes and item locations the same for all four cars if at all possible.
The Pneumatic paddle shift system is my own compilation! Again, trying to use common components across all four cars but with different blip mechanisms and actuator installations.
I used Raychem type 44 wire throughout (just white and black) and a red and purple sharpie to mark the ends of 12v and 5v lines, and fully screened pairs/quads for the cam, crank and wheel speed sensors. All finished off with DR25 heatshrink.
Three of the four are finished and bench-tested with sensors and switches and pretty much ready to fit to the cars. I’ve still to make up wheel speed sensors for two cars and start on the steering wheel curly cables……
