Default Re re-did my harness, some pics:

Pics at the bottom skip to them if you don't care about the fun facts.

So I did my harness while rebuilding my motor. Then my motor wouldn't start and everyone blamed the harness. We got it running but only with the fuel pump fuse out.

So I caved in and pulled my harness, undid all my beautiful work, and inspected it top to bottom. Everything was fine. So I threw it in corner and let it sit for two weeks while I got motivated to maybe see my car run again.

So finally I put it back together. The first time I did it I used heatshrink for the ends and splits and such in the harness. This time I used electrical tape in favor of a better hold, and believe it or not a cleaner look (my opinion).

Modifications:
-Braided sleeving.
-Injector wires are lengthened to run the harness through the intake manifold runners
-Body harness comes out the firewall and runs with the body harness and plugs into it in the fender
-MAF wires super extended: runs under the dash out into the driver side frame rail out out in the front corner of the car by the S13 relay box
-Eleventy billion unneeded AC, emmissions, stock turbo, and other misc. wires removed
-Ignitor moved inside next to ECU
-Under the sleeving each plug has all it's wires bundled together into sweet strands (organizational purposes)

^The last one there actually made the harness like 3ft longer when all the wires weren't tangled together...something I meant to correct for my second time around (was going to shorten the harness in the long spot between the ecu plug and the first plugs by like a foot and a half but got to lazy to do it and just put it back together lol).

Anyway, pics:












Kinda of sad it's so pretty I don't want to put it in my car. Last time it was in there you couldn't even see any of it lol. It's pretty hard to tell the difference when the harness is in/out of the car.

Now to get motivated to make my car run again.
