Default Harness issue

I got a k20 turbo In a Integra.. I got the first gen full race sidewinder manifold. . That sits closer to the firewall Instead of closer to the motor. .. my issue is my Rsx type s stock harness is touching the manifold.. what is a good thing to wrap it with? Or I was thinking about running it over the valve cover.. but that means I would have to extend all the wires.. but I don't know how the harness would stay on the valve cover without moving.. .. I can afford the mill - spec harness right now..


What you guys think what I should do.. or u have a any idea's who could help modify my stock harness?

Thanks in advance

There's a lot of thermal wraps on the market. If you wrap the manifold in exhaust headder wrap in that section and wrap the wires with some dei stuff. Beat would be arrange them in such a way they don't touch

If the two are that close to each other, even coating the manifold and wrapping the harness in heatwrap will still not fix the issue of increasing radiant heat being near something that is produced with material not designed to withstand it.

That's what I'm saying. For real.. it seems like the whole way would be with a wireworx harness?

In a street car it will not last. If this is for a dedicated track car it's a different story.
