dude Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Just out of interest how much does 1 of these custom looms cost. Its the comined cost of the loom and the life ecu thats putting me off, the S6 appears to be able to do everything I want and luke and Matt are keen to just make a stock loom but with all new plugs and decent wire, we can leave out any unwanted plugs etc and keep it real neat.

With the whole forums support, there's no doubt you'll succeed with her dude. Great to see you guys building this sort of spec! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An F88 and custom loom is surely 3 if not 4 times the price of an S6 but your not getting 4 times the benefit. Go for an S6 matey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for an S6 matey Not quite that much of a difference Wez, prob double the price to me. But I don't see the point and if we do get stuck on anything im sure Ryan will have the answer ready to hand. Its just wether there are enough pin outs for what we need, Ryan is working out which model we will have to go with at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after I told you the cost of the aircraft grade wire per meter! Anyway, while I was down at AFR getting a few last little jobs finished off, Dude got a delivery, next thing I know he's sat in the corner of the workshop stroking his new toy.... a 3.4 Billet Stroker Crank.... bit of a nice paper weight...
