what harness are people using out their ? any probs ? pros and cons of them ..is it even worth building one of these being every other week their a new gadget to be wired in ? i look at my harness and i got so much **** added in its like i have 2 harnesses in my car lol.

 

Chasebays. Got mine from them and I wouldnt use anyone else.

 

kataku2k3 (ht name) made mine. here is a picture of it. i just listed this for sale yesterday as well.

 

^Nice.

 

Richewerks and Rywire

 

Rywire or make your own...it just takes TIME fellas

If you have more time than money, make your own...

If you have more money than time...buy one

When you make one or buy one, add about 10 extra wires in ahead of time for future additions.

 

I have a chasebays harness and it works flawlessly. I bought mine about 2 years ago with the mil spec connector on it and had a few wires and an fjo installed. I would not recommend them now because of their customer service. the service is terrible and they always lie to you about the status of the harness.it took him nearly 8 months to get my friend a harness done and when he got it, there was an issue with it and chase made a whole new harness and that was about a year after he had ordered it. They have alot of nerve charging people the amount that they do and make you pay and then dick you around. He said it would take about a month and took 8 times longer. When i got my harness done they weren't in as high of a "demand" like they have been/were the past year or so. I would go with rywire cause of his customer service and he will make sure that you will get a harness in the amount of time he says that it will take him to do it. As Xenocron said you should make sure that you get a larger mil spec connector or provisions for extra wires that way you can add and subtract as you make changes to your car.

 

goood info.. glad i caught it before i hit the purchase button.

 

Rywire did my and i will use again and again he is the man

 

arent these things around $1500? Call me cheap but ill make my own.

 

yea its sounding like a good idea rite about know

 

there like around 1k i think but you will mostly likely spend around that much trying to make the identical thing as a rywire harness.

But I made my own just for the satisfaction and ****.

 

where did you buy all your wire,sleeves,etc?

 

i think rywire is the man for this?

what about turn around time? how long does it take for a shop (rywire) to do a harness?

any other shops who offer these? websites?

 

x2

 

rywire told me 3 weeks turn around for a full harness..

 

There are only a handful of people that build these properly and advertise about it. T1's guy makes a great harness with wiring that is sized properly, shielded properly, etc. Myself, kataku2k3 and Ryan (Rywire) also do this as well using the proper materials, techniques and equipment. These aren't cookie cutter run of the mill harnesses so expect to pay for top of the line stuff and expect to wait 2-6 weeks for custom stuff. Building these things are very tedious and a lot of the money is spent in the labor aspect of things.

As far as a few of the "others" that make them, the wiring is the bare minimum; sometimes not sized large enough from what I have seen or repaired. The shielding has been seen to be questionable and the many if not most of the connectors are used and not cleaned and/or broken. And most of these are not built using Raychem shrink and Tefzel wiring. Do you need the Raychem shrink...probably not....but at least when you spend 5k to get to a race....the wiring will be something that you don't have to think about....

 

Chase made this for us.. very happy with the harness.

 

this is the truth. and the reason I wont make harness for many people. no one wants to pay. i used to make cheaper ones using oem wires for friends just to get the tucked look but i wont even do that anymore haha.

 

These types of harness's are definitely expensive. Do you think they justify that price? I do, my old harness that was a hack job almost set my car on fire. I had another harness made for my car specifically and had all new tefzel wire, deutsch connectors, raychem diesel resistant heat shrink. The harness was made from scratch and designed specifically for my motor and car by my friend. Here are couple pictures;



I have more if someone wants them.

 

I will never use anything else on my own car anymore. i love making them haha

 

^^^thats neat!

guys let's say, i want to order a harness, a complete replacement mil spec harness for my engine, then after sometime I want to add things on the car like m&w,nlr etc.

do I need a new harness or I just need to send it out where I got it?

another thing, if i want a custom harness do i need to send out my connectors(m&w etc)

 

to talk ralphy he can get you on the right path with this.

 

i would really like to make one for my new setup in the works, but my question is about connectors wat website or source can i use to get them new? should i jus find nice used ones? i have build a few for supras n rx7s but they always came with a flying lead with haltech i want aem and the univesal ems with harness is kinda overpriced to me

 

Dont bother using Chase Bays, every harness I've seen from him was screwed up in one way or another, and that was the ones that arrived about a year later than they were supposed to.

I'm having Tony's guy do the harness for my race car, I want it done right the first time. I'm sure that Blown90Hatch, kataku2k3 and Ryan (Rywire) are also capable of doing a good job. Just avoid Chase, unless you want lies and excuses.
