i did a wire tuck not to long ago and i used 14guage wire for everything. question is, do u think the bigger wire will effect the wire going to the ecu and such . like power and all ?

 

need advice

 

the bigger the wire the more resistance you will have...im not 100% sure but i think automotive uses 18-22 gauge wire for sensors n stuff

the bigger the wire, the less resistance it gives.

 

so your saying that the ECU might read a different reading ???

 

have you started up the car yet?

 

whats up dudes wire tucks ar sick hope u get that **** done

 

ttt

 

no i am about to put it in, but someone said it might not work cause of the wires being to big. one of my friends burned up an ecu by using to big of wire to the injectors

 

what year is the car... If it isn't an obd3 or up then you are fine. All those sensors are analog which means the voltage will be the same, the difference between the gauge of wire you used and the wire used by honda is negligable.

Only time you need to worry is if you have a mutiplex ECU that used digital pulses that are encoded or decoded by the ecu, in that case the larger gauge might cause some adverse readings.

You will be fine, I've done wire tucks with different gauge wire with no problem.

 

good info. didnt know that

 

its a 93 teg obd1

 

analog wires = youre ok
digital wires = not ok

correct me if im wrong

 

correct. or more tothe point analog ecu or digital ecu.

 

alrighty ill go with that and see how it works out, thanks
