Would anyone be interested in a write up on how to fabricate a custom 1 piece engine harness like Rywire/wireworx/chase bays?

I'm in the process of ripping apart my custom harness I built 4 years ago to build another much better looking.

The harness would be every engine connector going to the ecu as a single unbroken connection "no connectors in between"
Sensor data that needs to go to dash components and power/grounds would be split off into separate wires would come out in the same bundle.

~1-3 month time frame before I get busy on this... just getting an idea if people want it. I know I have much more fun "crazy" building stuff rather than forking out crazy $$ for a harness when you learn so much more building it yourself.

I would most certainly be interested in a in-depth write up. Wire tucks and the sort have always intrigued me, but my lack of electrical know-how and seemingly lack of picture heavy how-to write ups on the topic have scared me away from trying it out. Itt would be greatly appreciated if you did one.

 

why ask? jus do a DIY write up.

 

I'd love to see a writeup. I might try and tackle one line the future and would love to hear how you plan on going about it

Will do I'll write that shiit up!

 

Write up with lots of good pics please! Very interested! Might attempt this soon!

 

Also this for b, d, h, k, j, f series? Obd1, 0, or 2?

 

Rywire is worth every penny. And you can learn a lot installing it because each wire is labeled. Well worth the money and saves a ton of headaches.

Anyway, be sure to include exact lengths of each wire in your DIY, the more specific the lengths the better it will look.

 

B20,

This will be for OBD1
This is for an H22A, except honestly they are all the same pinouts. Besides K and J

Hatch it,
I will not include wire lengths, there are many ways to route wires around the engine, I will leave that up to you to what you feel looks best for your project.
some people might want to route them above the exhaust pipe down the center of the engine. Some people like how I did this was mount it down the right hand side of the engine over the transmission. Either way works, however that drastically changes the lengths of wire.

You also don't learn anything because the lack of wires you have to attach to the car. With a little bit of out of the box thinking and research you can figure it out

Its baller status when you are like "I made it" which is why I'm planning on making as much stuff as possible on my build rather than all these super rare jdm parts.


Additional note *

I will not be using any OEM honda fuses or main relays. when I say from scratch I literally mean spools of wire and all new ish

 

Everyone I haven't forgotten about this. I have been busy shaving the engine bay and have not started writing up documentation for a how to yet. It will be done at some point
