Motec loom plug box

[Evoluzione]

Guys, do you know where I can get one of these from, hopefully in the UK?



I don't know if it's from Motec, or someone has just stuck a sticker on it.

Any pics of the connectors?

Often they'll be something simple and easy to get hold of, like something from VAG etc

If it's just an empty box to cover a plug, then it's likely to be any old project box. You can pick some up from Maplins for example.

The connectors aren't relevant, I've seen all types and they've just been bolted in. I've got my connector and it's all wired up & ready to go, I just need one of these to house it and neaten it up.
They must come as empty boxes, but with just a (20 - 25mm) round hole drilled in one end to let the loom out, the slot you see has been cut so the connector plug sits there and plugs into the vehicle loom.
I'll take a look at Maplins - ta.

Motec use them as an enclosure for their plug n play adaptor harnesses.
The ecu connector goes inside and the short patch loom terminates inside it.

So I guess the obvious place as to where to source an identical one....the clue is in the big Motec sticker.

But any similar box would do from Maplins etc.

That box is worth 50bhp you know.

It just tidies things up and protects the bare wires from touching things they shouldn't and being pulled off.

I'm surprised at you not knowing this !!

Ah, now i understand, it covers the connector "adaptor" harness to allow you to mate with the std engine ecu connector. I've only used Motec ecus with MIL spec connectors to custom harness.................

Naturally

The surprising thing is....the only reason I took that one apart, as it was wired totally wrong from Motec ! And then they didnt even have any record of it being made, despite it being ordered specially.
