Does anybody know if there are any issues around swapping a UK/Euro spec engine loom onto a JDM 3S-GTE?

I know that Martin recently fitted a rebuilt JDM lump into Mikes UK ST205. Did that have any loom issues? I have a brand new Euro engine loom left over from my track build and am looking to fit it to my spare JDM engine. Effectively this is the reverse of Mikes build.

Not aware of any issues, if anything the UK loom will have more plugs on it that a Jap one e.g. EGR

Not aware of issues swapping engines, but I wouldn't be so certain about looms, particularly the interface to the body loom.

Hiya don sometimes there is differences so I always check pin outs from one loom to the other simply comparing and altering/matching the 2 there was no alterations needed for mikes as far as I can remember but don`t hold me to that as I do so many I get easily mixed up lol

Obviously as has already been mentioned the uk has more plugs unless your on a wrc loom

there might be a difference around the aircon-pump/lamda/hotdog sensor area... I swapped just that section over (from the plastic section behind the cam wheels to the aircon connections) from a donor loom and the colours did not match up (that is not to say that ecu pinout to the said sensors/connections are not the same i.e. same pin out but different colour wiring..) Just double check in case I may be right (probably not)

Also, my car is a WRC if that makes a difference in wiring loom wire colours etc..?

The JDM has a different aircon pump as it's full climate control.

Good point Chris!
Anybody know if the Euro spec ST205's had climate control or air con? Sunny maybe?

As far as I know the euro spec cars are the same as the UK - except the obvious differences in driving side.

So they are fitted with aircon rather than climate control.
