Refinishing an OE Engine Harness Pt.3 - Addition and Repair

[@SuperPerformanceGarage]

I'm currently modifying my harness for my engine and this video was incredibly helpful I assumed I had to remove the connectors of the harness to do the loom, but I was hoping to avoid it. This video answered all of my questions.

I came for tips and tricks on wrapping up a wire harness for my hemi and I wasn't disappointed. If I can get mine .25 percent as good as yours I will be very happy. I'm shooting for half though.

Hey watched all 3 mind sharing the inner diameter of the wire looms you used, and over shoot how much you used? Going to use self wrapping loom with Tessa and shrink tape. Doing and 03 wrx harness so any advice and info would be greatly appreciated

What are your favorite terminal or wire connectors and what crispers are you using?

[@berttnotbought804]

I’m a big fan of deutsch connectors and barrel pins. I use a knock off DMC barrel crimp tool that has so far proven to make crimps stronger than the wire.

[@harrympower]

what is best used in the wheel arches and under the car? the places with much moist?

[@berttnotbought804]

Either completely seal the wires from connector to connector in a Motorsport spec fashion. OR use flex loom such as what you saw here and allow it to drain and dry.

How much to do a motorcycle harness the same way? Or with purple flex?

[@vortex2450]

Where did you source that beautiful wire loom?

[@berttnotbought804]

The purple underneath is a simple purple plastic wrap off Amazon. The flex loom (and all my other wiring related parts) is from prowireusa.com

Curious question. Some other vids ive watched recommend using non-advesive vinyl tape rather than regular electrical tape. Curious if that is something youve tried or you have a reason not to do so?

[@berttnotbought804]

Did they give a reason as to why? Personally on a refresh like this I have had no problems with standard 3M or Scotch electrical tape. Let me know I would be interested in looking into this. If I was building a Motorsport spec harness I would certainly never use any electrical tape as kapton is the only option allowed.

@berttnotbought804 I found it interesting as well as I didn't even know non-adhesive tape existed. Apparently it clings to itself really well even without adhesive. I guess the disadvantage to regular electrical tape is that the heat will react with the adhesive and it becomes a goopy mess, which apparently isn't the case with the other. One of the videos mentioned is here in a link. I ended up ordering some from them to give it a try when I redo my harness soon. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sITLaYNqa5Z_q6Msi=WiBfb6RVFvjJToWz I did watch your whole 3 part series- good stuff- made me more comfortable with restoring a harness on my project in the near future. Thanks!

[@berttnotbought804]

Thank you for the info. I’m going to look into this and try to understand it better. I’ll get back to you on this. Also. Big thank you for all of the support. I know these videos are a bit long winded but I wanted to make sure all the info was there. Thank you for powering through and watching all three. The engagement means a lot. I’m sure you’ll be able to tackle your project no problem. I’m here if you need any support or have questions. 🤘🏻
