I personally frown against using that type of shrink tube with the built in solder because you have no way of knowing how good the connection actually is because you can't see it. How you should go about pinning a braided jacket is by slitting up the length of the braid, pulling out the pieces that are cut off basically undoing the braid then twisting the strands together. Then you take and remove some insulation from another piece of wire and slide it over the twisted strands. The use an adhesive lined shrink tube and slide it over the 2 wires and also the new wire you made. This will hold the jacket that was put over the strands in place and it will cover up any exposed strands going into the jacket. less connection points = less points of entry for problems.

These are Raychem solder sleeves, not the cheap chinese junk you see everywhere. They’re clear when they’re shrunk, so you can see the connections just fine, and this is the motorsports approved method at the highest levels of competition. This harness is also completely sealed with Rt-125, so ingress of anything is not going to happen.

@@signal_msw I am surprised that they use those things at the motor sports level. The single biggest thing about motor sports wiring is to eliminate possible failure points. Any time you join 2 wires together that becomes a potential location for a failure. The way I described to do it doesn't join wires together so that would make it a more reliable way of doing it. It's as more connections = increased chance of having a point of failure. I am also going to tell you there is no way on earth those shrink tube solder connections contain enough solder to penetrate the wire and also the braiding to make a 100% connection. It takes a lot of solder to tin a wire even when it's a thin wire. The other issue is if the solder is not 100% silver solder it is going to have some resistance to it. Keeping resistance down is a very important thing to do.
@kevinschlossser78587 ай бұрын
Now using a twisted and shielded pair of wires of the injectors is just plain silly. The shielding makes sense. The twist doesn't. The injectors are going to fire at a different rate based on the engine RPM, that means the frequency in the electrical signal traveling down the wire is not going to be something that is divisible by a constant. The twist in the cable does absolutely zero. There is a reason why data speeds going over network cables has the speeds set as they do. This is to reduce the amount of EMI and that needs to be tuned to the frequency. The number of twists are done so that different speeds are able to be used and still get the benefits of the twist. 100mbit, 1000mbit, 10000mbit etc.... Not gonna see that the injector pulses. All it being twisted does it take up more space and get you frustrated when making a harness like this...
@signal_msw7 ай бұрын
The oem injector wiring is shielded on the vehicle this harness is currently running, so I used the motorsports equivalent wiring. It comes twisted. It was simply a matter of practicality.

Why'd you have to basically attack me over the measuring of the official length of stripping? But being serious. A fast way I learnt to do it when rewiring a few cars as a mechanic was turning basically a set of paper sheers into a wire cutting mechanism. Had a straight edge that could be adjusted in height and distance from the cutting edge. Once the distances are set you strip the wire long. Slide the wire into the trimmer the straight edge catches on the insulation. Cut. Then crimp. Once you get in the groove you can really pump it out faster than trying to be more exact with the eyeball method.

Solder , not soder unless sodomy is your thing . Its an English thing LOL . Like ' soldier ' or ' sold ' , even solution . No silent L here . Silent Ls in ' would ' , ' should ' etc. Interesting stuff . Very useful for Canon plug wiring for both motorsport and aero applications . Depending on pitch of twist , you will need to add a percentage to your original measured lengths , between 15% - 20% is a good start . Incorporating twisted pairs for CAN buses etc., makes it fun and these are typically core wires . I like to incorporate plumbers Teflon tape between layers . Its thin and reduces friction between layers in bending and vibration and keeps layers tidy and is a good dielectric when running voltage wires in the core .

The 3M stuff I use all the time after replacing a quarter panel/rocker/frame rail is wax based, and nothing (paint, powder coat, etc.) will stick to it after it's applied. You're powder coater may even refuse the job if it's already been coated with that stuff just because he couldn't warranty the work. It's used as the last step before final assembly. You can have the piece powder coated, just know they will blast the outside, and hit a good chunk of the inside, so I'm not sure if the added expense of E-coating would be worth it.
