The wiring comes out of the car again for final grouping, cutting, braiding and terminating. Both injector looms (one for each bank) get completed and terminated with connectors. The harness is now ready for the final install!

Dave, grab your self some electrical solid PVC pipe, 16mm to say 50mm and thread your braid over the pipe and simply push your loom wires through the pipe to where you want the braid to be, restrain the braid and pull out the PVC pipe

Hi there, I have a video request for you guys. For someone that decides to do a loom from the ground up where he just bought the plugs there is no guidelines from Haltech in regards to recommendations with wire gauges and wire types, etc. Could you guys do a video showing us building an Haltech Wiring kit from the start and letting us know what type of wires you are using and why? (Side Note: I do regret not having bought the basic loom, but now its too late as I already have the plugs and pins lol)

Pro tip when terminating wire at a connector. Slide the wire seals on BEFORE you strip the wire. Slide it on and out of the way, strip the wire, then slide the seal back down into position.

When you put braid over the injector portions how did you make their appearance back in to the main loom look neat? Heat shrink? Tape?

Could you show how you ran the wires through the braid and branched it off into the separate injectors and a better look at how you crimped the branch wire for the injectors power wires?

@bernhardlist9359 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Dave, I enjoy watching your video Series but there is one thing you should consider and that is polarity with injectors. I know that a coil is not polarity sensitive but when I looked at my injectors they all have + and - marked on them. I am not into electronics but I think they have a zener-diode built in to stop the voltage spikes at around 55Volts and such Diodes are polarity sensitiv. Greetings from Germany Bernhard

@owlytv 4 жыл бұрын

Hi just wondering how you picked which power to then splice off for the injectors please? And do you generally wire the platinum loom injector wires in firing order? Eg For a 4 cyl 1 = inj 1 3 = inj 2 2 = inj 3 4 = inj 4

in regards to what you said about people slamming soldering. im an electronics guy work on alot of arcades and pinballs and we prefer soldiering for that sort of application, but im currently building a r32 gtr with a rb30/26 in it. im watching these videos to help me with when i get to the wiring part of the car. so whats your opinion on crimping then throwing a little solder onto the join after they have been crimpe?n i ask due to my experience with crimps in regards to them not being great in the aplications ihave used them in when repairing or rebuilding a pinball or arcade machine? thanks in advamce for your response in regards to this question

@jaccolenoco6548 Жыл бұрын

Hello Haltech! Great video. I just want to get your opinion. From the wiring harness found all over the internet, the injectors, coil and igniter share power source straight from thick ignition wire. While the fuel pump and other 12v solenoid/sensors get power source from EFI relay. I just found out mine that they are soldered together. Will it cause any problems with the injectors and coil on how they would perform? Engine is a 20 valve 4AGE. Thank you in advance!❤

No not at all, I personally like to use both. It depends on what you prefer to use and the look you are going for!! If you tape up a section of your loom, make sure it is 100% done and correct though!

The problem with solder is that the Flux causes corrosion in the wire and after a few years the connection goes bad. Also solder is not flexible and if there is movement in the wiring the joint will break much faster than a crimp

@trickford460 4 жыл бұрын

I've never seen a crimp been able to flex either. When it does, the wire is usually working its way out. Yes you can over temp the wires for a solder joint, and using the wrong solder and a cheap ass soldering iron will help cause failures. Having worked on Industrial Machinery, a solder joint has proved way more effective than just a crimp. But this is job specific I spose. In the end, it's what is the best for what you are able to do, and in the time/dollar constraints you have to work with.

@1dickycat 4 жыл бұрын

Another great one Dave and the guys. I do have a few questions tho.. 1. I've noticed you use the "horizontal" style strippers. Are you not a fan of the style that looks/works like a dinosaurs jaw? I can see where it would be difficult to stip in the middle of a wire with that style but just curious on your opinion 2. Just for reference, you said you use a large/medium/small sized expandable loom. What sizes would you recommend buying before starting this project? 3. When you crimped your wires for the plug, and proceded to heat shrink and slide them into the housing, I noticed you don't do any kind of service loops or anything of the sorts. What is your reasoning for this? Is it just "cleaner" or is that just taking your harness one step further, same concept as doing concentric twists to the harness?

@davenonameforrester 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Mate, do you mean something similar to this www.schnap.com.au/tools/pliers/rapid-stripper.html Personally....I love my side on ones, as they are the right price and I am just SOOO used to them

This is just an entry level wiring video on how to wire up an engine loom. It is much quicker to get a job done, and was not required for this installation. Do you like to use Service loops? For the people that use them, and always put them in... Could you share why you like to do it that way? Have they been helpful in the past ? Is it worth the extra time and effort?

@1dickycat 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the reply. Its not that I've used them before, I just kinda like the idea of them but was curious if they where actually practical or just some high end motorsports thing.

Why was it chosen to not make the injection harness separable?

@davenonameforrester 4 жыл бұрын

Usually It just depends on the type of installation that i am doing - purely for this video's purpose, I incorporated it into the loom. But by not using a breakout connector for the injectors, It kept the cost down as well as it was not a requirement in this job. What are your preferred Methods? Sharing your experiences and practices here might help everyone out!! Normally If it is required/requested to have a Breakout I like to make a breakout loom & do it through a Deutsch DTM connector

@compted10 4 жыл бұрын

@@davenonameforrester thanks for the reply Dave, I personally have used the DTM connector on the harness work I have done. Never really thought about the costs of them since the cars I have been working on are not mine. They reason we do it is for manifold and injector combo changes. However looking back I think I can only remember twice when we actually used that feature. Once was to add dual injectors per cylinder on a modified holley high ram, the other was just new injectors with different plugs.

@rodneyberry531 4 жыл бұрын

I would suggest NOT twisting the wire strands before crimping the legs over. If the wire strands are twisted, there is no way the crimp legs can grip the wire properly. The crimp will look a mess under magnification, and will not provide maximum grip or contact. Better still, use crimps where possible that have a barrel/sleeve style end.
