the wire tuck pic thread

[Flicktitty]

Looks great Toby, Pretty sure i've said that a few times now.

Chase - Do you have any pics of your 2JZ harness yet in a car?

It's not that expensive if you're only using one size, but with minimum quantity orders/etc, it gets very pricey to do an entire car or engine.

I can vouch for that! Jeffs wires are definitely mil-spec materials.. Those wires are like clothe hanger wire strong


Can wait to see that motor fired up toby!

nice work , very impressive

Does anyone produce (or custom make) a complete S13 under-hood chassis harness that only uses the necessities?

Chase has a complete chassis harness that is pretty bare bones... lights, ignition etc. No climate controls and radio maybe optional. Give him a shout. I'm sure he would customize it if you need him to.

Here is a thread he started a while back to check interest. It looks as though the pics are no longer available though:

Jeff jordan is currently doin a chassis harness for me as well as wiring all my custom gauges toby mounted for me. My whole wiring/ cluster setup is one off so thats another option

Wish the pictures still worked. Did they ever make more than one?
It would be so nice to have all-new harnesses. I do not trust old wiring.

You can just email him, I'm sure he still has the pics on file. And it doesn't matter if he's made one or a hundred... he can make you whatever you want. He made my harness which was his first LS3 harness.

Holy crap Raychem really protects their heat shrink with some DOD style shipping canisters. Ordered a bunch of 4 ft adhesive sections from amazon (super cheap BTW) and they sent each one in the raychem container which is like a 1/4" thick HD cardboard tube sealed for a nuclear war...Is that the norm? The damn packaging must have cost more then what I paid for each strip.

My dad builds RC planes and helicopters as a hobby, and he just received a package from WireCare. Their stuff looks really neat, now I am tempted to order a bunch of wiring accessories.

Their flame retardant loom is awesome and cheap. I just got my first order from them this week. They are reasonable for deutsch connectors too.

[ka-titties]

i get all my wiring stuff from wirecare. their prices are very fair and their customer service is top notch.

[Future_gohan]

I cannot wait to get my sr back from the machine shop so i can do my wire tuck

[Z32TT-R]

Deleted a/c, and relocated p/s reservoir with na setup.

[sidies]

Just a quick question has any one on the S14-15 fliped there IACV ACC valve (the brown plug in pic) round so the plugs on the bottom or is this a NO NO, and can you tuck the standard injector etc harness with no mods? I just want ot get rid of all the wires on the top

That's pretty much the norm, as I've got the same thing in my barn atm. But, I'm betting yours came from Small Parts. I don't think Raychem does direct marketing through Amazon, so that's who I ended up ordering from.

This was my old SOHC on my hacth b4 it got Wrecked =( man i miss it =((

[Riedell]

First wire tuck. Not bad for my first time.

We do, I will have them uploaded this evening.

For now, some 2JZ-GTE Engine Harness photos

That thread expired or something so we can't go back in and update.

But, here's the recent pictures of our chassis harness prototype. We've got some pretty incredible improvements from this one that we'll show you guys in a couple weeks.

Two fuse blocks fed from a single 8ga lead, nice! Lol I'm sure you guys will have real power wire in a production version.

shhhhhhhhh, I wanted to see it melt.

I guess it really depends on what circuits that 8 gauge is supplying!?! If it's only the head lights, tail lights, turn signals and radio then that 8 gauge is plenty... especially at that short of length. It also depends on the quality of the 8 gauge. Almost all 8 gauge and bigger these days are Chinese rated... it's not actually as big as it's rated. I have some reputable brands of power wire at the shop that are NOT their stated rating. This is why I only use IXOS wiring. It's comical to compare the IXOS stuff to something like Stinger Pro, which is a reputable brand. Then you have all the variances in material: is it solid copper, is it copper clad, is it Zinc plated and so on. You would be surprised at how few are solid copper. So naturally the solid copper will flow more current than a copper clad of the same gauge.

Love it. I would def be interested as i have definately need to improvise mine

The fuses in the blocks are all 30A. I can show you the math, but it's not even close, even at a length of 1ft. Just saying, I'm sure the blocks were loaded with fuses for the photo and (I hope) they wouldn't ship like that.

Reminds me of the -6an fuel line kits with hose clamps to 8mm Nissan OEM tube. Scary liability when something goes wrong.

No need to show me the math... I have bachelors degrees in mathematics, physics and applied computer science. Not to mention I have done some form of wiring in over 25,000 vehicles in my 20 year career My point was the one you just made, that the 30A fuses are not what's actually going to be in that block. Not to mention that every circuit will not have a draw on it all at the same time. I'm just saying we have no idea exactly what all circuits that block even provides protection for!?! Heck if you did simply add the 30A fuses together you would need a 1/0 gauge to supply a constant 240A of current.

My point is: add up all of the fusing in the fuse box of a new Silverado... it's several hundred AMPS supplied by a 4 gauge. I don't think we should jump to any conclusions before we bash on a product.

[Chase Bays]

We know what we're doing and we test our products. We didn't just look it up or research it online. We have years of experience and thousands of proven products.

That's why we are the best at what we do. =)
