Modifying the Wiring Harness on my Project Car || Cleaning it Up

This time I am modifying the wiring harness on my project car to remove unnecessary wiring that i wont be using in the stock harness. I am going to clean the wiring harness up for lights and the other necessities. Modifying the wiring harness is simple and should be done to any project car.
All information contained in this video may or may not be 100% correct, this is the first time I am doing a 740 T5 engine swap. But If I make some mistakes, put a comment down and I'll be sure to pin it and mention it in my upcoming video.
You still reading this ? Then i might as well tell you that this video was a nightmare to edit, I set the camera wrong (got new lights that I don't understand yet and I had the GoPro set to full auto bazooka mode so the WB was going crazy) took me over 20 Hours to put this together, ha ha. I'm just typing away here waiting for the video to upload so I can run all of the checks on it. BTW, right now, there is a mouse eating away at the bottom of my garage door. Like, why do they do that? How tasty can it be to eat a rubber gasket ? Literally everything made out of soft rubber just gets destroyed... If you know why, drop a comment. Anyway, i'm just going to stop writing now and see what I can do about that mouse.
Thanks for Watching BTW, love the support

Keep doimg what youre doing Mr Backman, this IS enternaining and educational for alot of us out here..

[@eddd6827]

Thank you soooo sooo much! I got already prepared T5 wireloom for my 960 T5 swap! Cant wait to get engine now! Got everything else already ready! Thank you so much!

[@dirkvrijenhoek6586]

I will be doing a t5 swap in my volvo 240 soon and these videos and maybe especially the specific ones are incredibly useful!! So please keep making videos about the specific stuff too.

[@BackmansGarage]

Thanks! Yeah, these videos hurt the channel a little bit, but I really want to stick these in there because of the lack of that sort of content on KZbin. There is just too much highlight and not enough of the boring but useful information one wants if you really get stuck and need motivation to keep going. Good luck with your build 👍

[@jeppenordfosskristensen7319]

Super interesting stuf.. enjoying your Channel ☑️ Greetings From Denmark 🇩🇰🇸🇪🏁

[@BackmansGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@zero-twentysix]

In the middle of my own harness reworking right now. This is motivating. Also, I hate mice.

[@BackmansGarage]

Haha 😄 Thanks! It feels really nice to remove everything that one doesent need. Got about one shopping bag of cable's now 😄👍

[@nuputtrada8533]

I've been waiting for this :)

[@BackmansGarage]

Thanks! 👍

[@jdcabauwnl]

Have been checking yt just to watch your videos. Nice work and keep it up!

[@michaeltrset1208]

Ser at kanalen stiger for hver dag som går! Veldig bra jobbet med alle videone som blir lagt ut:) Dette blir en stor kanal til slutt!!!

[@BackmansGarage]

Försöker hålla det på en bra nivå 👍 Men den får gärna växa långsamt för min del 😄 Men kul att det uppskattas 👍

[@mattjamieson3148]

Awesome work this is a massive help, I’m doing a t6 swap I’m guessing it’ll be the same approach as this. Also doing the swap on a 1990 740

[@BackmansGarage]

Thanks! 👍 The T6 is a really nice swap as well. If I'm not mistaken it "builds" forward so you might run into issues with radiator clearance, but other than that is basically the same on the hardware side of things 👍Are you doing a 3.0L or the 2.5 ?

[@mattjamieson3148]

@@BackmansGarage yeah I know what I’m doing swap wise it’s more the wiring that your videos are helping me with as I haven’t a clue I was just going to buy a premade one from Maxxecu. It’s a s80 2.8 t6 engine.

[@BackmansGarage]

@@mattjamieson3148 Those newer engines run the ME7 ECU if I'm not mistaken (the same as my t5 engine did stock). I haven been able to find anyone able to crack the immobilizer on one of those, but maybe you have the complete assembly of the immo or know someone who can ?

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Great video. 👍

[@BackmansGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@Ejfel_Garage]

Bra video! Du gjorde inte på samma sätt som mig. Men du gjorde ett mycket mer detaljerat jobb som är lättare att förstå för utomstående. Kan också se att du har lagt ned en jävla massa tid på förbindelser innan filmningen 👌😁 Pysslar själv med exakt samma sak som dig men gillar att titta på dina videos ändå. Roligt att det går framåt och ser fram emot nästa video! Ha det gött 😊

[@BackmansGarage]

Tack 👍 Känner till att du gör något likande och jag är ju knappast den första heller 😄 Men jag tycker bara att det är bra, vi kör ju lite olika varianter av ett 740 T5 bygge så det är inte omöjligt att jag nämner dig famöver när jag går igenom lite olika vägar man kan ta, som med tändningen tex. 👍 Lycka till med bygget 👍

[@Ejfel_Garage]

@@BackmansGarage Tack så mycket! Du får nämna mig hur mycket du vill 😊 Min filmning började som en plojgrej men man blev snabb fast vi det 🙃

[@BackmansGarage]

Haha, samma här. Ville bara testa om det va kul och det var det! Nu banar man bara vägen för att kunna producera mera i framtiden 👍

[@hemndab6652]

Hi sir hope ur doing well such a great videos u have and all this knowledge u share is so nice of u and thanks for doing that 🌸 . Can I request u for a deep video?! Can be nice and make video about metronic or lh 2.2 swap to lh24 ? With how u need to do and what to do? I have a 740 turbo tic from 1987 and it has this old system metronic and i have taken lh2.4 wires from 1990 240 but i have no idea how to do it and i cant find anything about it i hope u can do this it will be so nice of u . Soon i am going to do engine swap to an fk and same time cable change and no experience 😂 . Best regards

[@BackmansGarage]

It is not impossible that something like that couldn't be made in the future. Im going to doubble down on volvo content going forwards here.

[@jbg6961]

Blir fint det där! Det finns krympslang med lim om man ska använda kabelstrumpor. Då slipper man att strumpan glider ur sen.

[@BackmansGarage]

Glömde jag nämna, men det är faktiskt en sån lim-variant. Visserligen ifrån feltema så dom blev förbannat hårda efter uppvärmningen. Men jag hoppas dom kommer sitta kvar 👍

[@jbg6961]

@@BackmansGarageVad bra, då kan man köpa krympslang där ist👍Märkesslang från grossist blir hårda också.

[@konstantinkagan4307]

Just love this videos, thanks! But why don't you use cloth tape?

[@BackmansGarage]

Thanks! I try to use only the standard wiring tape in the engine bay since I like to wash alot. Im sure that all cloth tapes aren't made the same, but the one that i could get a hold of in time for the video isnt waterproof so I went with the standard tape for waterproofing and then the sock for rubbing protection and looks. When i do the inside wiring harness I will only use cloth tape 👍

[@davidkris]

i've replaced all the gauges in my miata build but now need a check engine light, any suggestion of where to learn about running a new one?

[@BackmansGarage]

Usually you can find a pinout on the engine ECU for the check engine light. So try to find a good schematic for the ECU and take it from there. The Miata is popular so there should be a lot of info online. Or have you put a Volvo engine into a Miata ? 😀

[@davidkris]

@@BackmansGarage Thank you for that tip to start from! ? Hahahah not a volvo motor YET.... but I love the sound of those 5 cylinder B230 Redblock motors!

[@saschadrag]

Why are you ständig still? Why not more Videos? Regards from Germany

[@BackmansGarage]

Its on the way, too much other things going on and I just hate to make complaining videos. But I actually have one video on the way. Although it diddent end up like I wanted it too since we crashed the car 🤷‍♂️

[@a.s.rcinematicproduction1209]

How do you identify each wire which one is for what??? I’m doing a conversion from a s3 to touran

[@BackmansGarage]

Its just a matter of looking at schematics and you will have table's that tell you what pin goes where and does what 👍

[@a.s.rcinematicproduction1209]

@@BackmansGarage thanks very much for that advice, hopefully I should be good to go then appreciate

[@SwedesGarage]

Din video dök upp i flödet, jag har precis börjat rensa kabelstammar från geggig eltejp och annat hahaha. Mycket bra video, önskar att jag kunde göra lika bra videos men är ingen film producent precis. Funderar om jag skulle bara göra kortvideos istället. Bilder finns på mitt IG, ingen video på tuben ännu om kabelstammarna.

[@BackmansGarage]

@MrAlexTech har lösningarna på dina redigeringsbekymmer. Kul projekt med 460 4x4 å T5 :D
