Shielded cable
Turbo Mini Forums

I'm amassing parts for fitting megajolt and i've noticed that the wiring i got from the scrappies is all unsheilded.

Do i really need to use shielded cable and if so any ideas where i can get it? I've googled it every way i can think of but havent come up with anything useful.

Thanks
Calum

maplin have got something you can use I think.

just ask for the screened cable

I am going to buy some of this and cut the ends off!



Any reason why not?

no, you can use that, it will get much neater if you only have the correct number of wires inside the cable though. But that may have only the two you need?

i got mine from maplins

yes, sorry, may have typed a bit fast there. A two core is what you want, is the one on Ebay a two core? in that case its fully useable. If its 5 core it will still be useable, but not neat!

Is this the stuff i need then?

easier to find when using the right terminology.

Would this be better?

thats the stuff i used i think..

There is a lot of talk about shielding the VR and PIP and SAW cables. If you can then it is worth it. However I have run my car without for a couple of years now with no problems. Better safe than sorry though.

I needed shilded cable for my mini van as it was missfiring I just wraped the cable with tinfoil and taped it up it worked a treat it wasnt for MS or MJ it was the mas air flow meter but the same princaple.

Also, only ground the shield at one end, otherwise it becomes a conductor rather than a drain.

What a twat, edited lol

I 2 core screened mirophone cable from maplins.

-MINI CLUBMAN 1380 TURBO-

This just arrived in the post. Only ordered it on Sunday.



Less than £10 for 10 metres - enough for three cars.

And it looks the mutts nuts.

If I'm careful how I cut it up, I may even be able to use the connectors.

I found the same thing as you Cal - the Sierra I got my trigger from had no sheild. My loom has though - http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?Module...0cable&doy=23m1 is perfect and cheap.
