Default Rewiring my whole engine how hard is it

I've been having an electrical problem for some time now and I'm at the point where it has to be in the wiring. Exactly how hard is it to swap wiring, I'm guessing dash removal and such but how long would I expect it to take me. TIA

what kind of problem are you having? it's not hard to find a wireing problem and repair it. you will need a $20 meter though.

Its a problem with hondata my tuner says that he can't tune it because there is something wrong with my car. He says that his wideband acts up i'm not really sure what he means by acting up but its giving wrong info. We have tried replacing almost all of the sensors with known good ones we've tried different hondat boxes different ecus and different chips nothing seems to work. We tried my whole setup in another car and it was fine. I had a p30 that ran fine with no problems but I want an ecu that is tuneable. Thanks for the help in advance.

Can I rewire the engine all the way to the ecu without removing the dash?

of course, all the wiring bundle up before going into the firewall
i suggest getting a new harnes, much easier and less headache
that way you can ALSO say it was a harness problem..double checking you know?

yes its pretty simple to change all the wiring.. I had to do it on one of my si's, the only hard part is getting the plugs that are behind the intake manifold
