Default Cleaning way to add wires to existing Civic DX engine Harness w/ B18c1

Just wanted to know what is the cleanest looking way adding VTEC, IAB, VTEC oil, etc, without any wires exposing. I want it to look as stock as possible. Anyone have any pictures that you guys would like to share?

best way imo to add any wires to any stock system CLEANLY is to take apart stock harness, add the wiring then re loom and tape.

the picture I posted requires alot of cutting and soldering right? I dont really want to cut and solder all those wires. I think I'll just wire loom it. But what kind of tape do I use to seal it back. I noticed Honda dont use rubber electrical tape. What kind can I use? And where can i get it?

If you get the right size, it may be over kill but it would be clean

You can't heatshrink the whole engine harness, you'll loose flexibility and have the chance to crack the heatshrink tubing.
