Motorsport wiring
Carrot Powertrain Solutions produces wiring harnesses following the highest quality standards, and therefore suitable for the most demanding environments like applications in motorsports, marine and defence. We are using the materials and proceedings according to the system 25 standard.
Design
Every wiring harness starts with designing the complete harness with all its details using the professional Cadonix Arcadia software environment. We are creating schematic design, cable design, 1:1 formboard, bill of materials, wiring plan, connection plan, etc..
Materials
Wire
We are using spec55 wire, also known as MilSpec M22759/32. This wire is insulated with modified radiation cross-linked ETFE polymer and using a silver plated copper conductor. It has a temperature rating of -65°C to 150°C and an outstanding resistance to chemicals and solvents.
Heatshrink
For protecting the single wires we use Raychem DR-25 heat-shrinkable tubing. This tubing is specially formulated for optimum high-temperature fluid resistance, and long term heat resistance. It is also resistant to aviation and diesel fuels, hydraulic fluids and lubricating oils. In combination with system 25 heat-shrinkable molded boots and high performance epoxy we create a complete sealed cable harness.
Production
Concentric twisted
Concentric twisting refers to the way in which the different layers of wire in the harness are laid up. This technique is a complicated process and is completely handmade. This results in a nice and flexible wiring harness, and makes sure that none of the wires in the harness have more stress than others.
Service loops
All suitable connectors, when sealed with epoxy, are equipped with service loops in the pinned wires. This extra length of wire takes care of freedom of movement of the individual wire and future serviceability.
Wire splices
Splices in the wiring loom are performed with a crimp connection, resulting in a reliable connection. In contrast to solder joints, crimp connections stay flexible and form no weak spot in the harness. We are always integrating our splices in branch points for optimal protection.

Why do you need to tune the ECU on a dyno?
It is not necessary to tune an ecu on a dyno. You can also do this on the street or circuit, but this is a lot more difficult and less accurate. On a dyno you have a controlled environment where the measurements are very accurate. In addition, a dyno offers the possibility to hold a certain engine loads for a longer period of time, which allows you to adjust more effectively.

What is a Carrot (C-MX) ECU?
The Carrot C-MX ECU is a programmable ECU that is able to make a combustion engine function as efficiently as possible. It means that it is able to be set to a specific application using the programming software. This allows the engine in question to be fully adjusted to your wishes.

Do you have a base mapping for my bike?
We are constantly trying to expand and improve our database of base mappings. When you install the Carrot (C-MX) Management software, an "Examples" folder is also installed in the installation directory. Here you can find all available base mappings. If you do not find the right mapping here, you can always contact us.
