Another way in wrapping the harness with electrical tape is to wrap the tape sticky side out and then go back over it sticky side down. It adheres well to it self and it doesn't make the wires sticky.

I've done my fair share of wiring harnesses and I can tell you that adding vinyl non-stick tape to the harness, before you add the Tesa tape, does wonders for making sure the harness doesn't turn into a sticky mess after some heat cycles. I go Vinyl Tape > Kapton Tape > Tesa Tape. I use the Kapton Tape on areas that will see higher heat ranges as it's supposed to keep heat at bay. I wrap the harness in TechFlex sleeving and use marine grade heat shrink to keep it tight. Hmmm, I may do a video on this 🤔

Great video. I’ve got to upload a video one day on making a harness from scratch. I like rebuilding my engines in-house for my company, and when I do they got back “deleted” (diesels). What I do is buy all new plugs for what sensors are left on the engine, put them all in place, and run wiring from each sensor back to the ECM. I use fibreglass braided sheathing thats dipped in acrylic, I then place a 1 inch piece of shrinkable tubing half over the sheath and half over the wiring going into the plug. I use varying sizes of sheath as the harness grows in size. The great thing about the fibreglass braiding is it’ll take up to 500 degrees without melting (way higher than the wire will take). The result is a million mile harness, thats neat and free of extra plugs from sensors that are no longer in use.

actually, crimping connections are way better and stronger than soldering connections if they are done properly, crimping connection is not based on the friction between the cable and the cable lug as most peoples believe, crimping connection is based οn the exchange of atoms between the copper cable and the cable lug and the end result looks like this www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Ftemcoindustrial.com%2Fmedia%2Fstatic%2Fproduct_guides%2Ftools%2Fcompression_crimp_xsection.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2FCarAV%2Fcomments%2F748rww%2Fpreferred_method_for_joining_4_gauge_terminals_to%2F&tbnid=g5JrUQ100eU1UM&vet=10CBkQxiAoA2oXChMIgJrfi7W28gIVAAAAAB0AAAAAEAc..i&docid=aRZDYXIVRCAdQM&w=438&h=269&itg=1&q=crimping%20connection%20look%20inside&hl=el&ved=0CBkQxiAoA2oXChMIgJrfi7W28gIVAAAAAB0AAAAAEAc and this www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.evdrives.com%2Fcontent%2Fvspfiles%2Fassets%2Fimages%2FCrimpingMedText.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fevdrives.com%2Fwhy-we-crimp-and-dont-solder-our-cable-lugs%2F&tbnid=UwnWGBUjDsOf8M&vet=10CAoQxiAoAWoXChMIgJrfi7W28gIVAAAAAB0AAAAAEAc..i&docid=KoK999dqbt0vwM&w=677&h=369&itg=1&q=crimping%20connection%20look%20inside&hl=el&ved=0CAoQxiAoAWoXChMIgJrfi7W28gIVAAAAAB0AAAAAEAc

It is important to start taping from branches into the trunk (with some overlap into the trunk as well) and then one continuous taping segment starting from a far branch through the trunk ending at another far branch and then caping that end with heat shrink. This way there won't be any chance of tape unraveling at the branches.

While trying to track down the cause of my endlessly failing fuel pumps in my AW11, I replaced the entire engine bay wiring harness. The previous owner had hacked it up. Fortunately, I found a complete harness that was in good shape at the junkyard. I pulled it out of the junker, cleaned it up, re-loomed it and put it in the MR2. Sadly, it didn't fix the fuel pump issue. That was why I was seriously considering using motorcycle carbs like you did...to eliminate the fuel injection headaches. This was around year 1999. Thank you for your videos! I am really enjoying the memories they are triggering. :D I have even looked for used MR2s...but I have a wonderful car already, an Infiniti i30t that is paid for...which is better for me nowadays because I also remember how spinecrushing the MR2 ride was with the race suspension in it. I'm getting old... lol!
@d4a
@d4a 6 жыл бұрын
I totally understand your woes. One of the reasons why I went with carbs in my case is that my engine was a horrible mix of parts from different 4ages. I had a rwd 4age throttle body on a fwd manifold, which caused huge air leaks. I had a distributor from an ae92 (i think) where someone just soldered on the connectors to fit it, but it made all sorts of issues. The afm was always acting up. And that was just the tip of the iceberg. It was such a frankenstein that getting it running right was impossible. I also have a nice "normal" daily car, and I get you there as well. The mr2 is a weekend thing to put a smile on my face :)

Fix all frayed wires using same gauge and color wire using soldered butt splices with shrink tube, then Rewrap with harness wrap and friction tape, replacing any attaching clips and etc.

Solder is not appropriate for engine bay wiring. The act of soldering removes the flexibility of the wire in the joint area and flexibility is life, for a wire. Soldered joints are brittle and will eventually split due to the vibration ad temperature variations of the environment. Serious loom builders ONLY use crimped connectors and almost all production cars only have crimps in the engine bay

Ha, I felt the need to step in and say great job, even if you are already enjoying the fruits of your labor and don't have to listen to keyboard warriors like me and others. I really appreciate your taking the time to do a little bit of research and choosing the right process and materials (Tesa is good stuff) for the job. While your work isn't exactly mil-spec, at least you're not soldering. Personally, I splice open wires by crimping the ends with thin copper tube, then the connection is covered with adhesive-lined heat shrink. My crimping tool is a vise grip, works fine for my motorcycle. Someday I'll make a wiring harness from scratch using proper materials like Raychem and crimp tooling that costs hundreds of dollars, but that's a long way off for us DIY guys.

Best tool for getting spade connectors out of connector is a dental pick. You can usually pick them up frorm a military surplus store. You won't know how you lived without one once you have used it! Slide the pick between the spade and the plastic, press the tab down, gently pull from the back and it will slide right out. Little harder when you have two tabs in the same block but still the best way to them out without destroying the plastic connector.

for me, I will just twist together both wires and put elctrical tape on it , that's it, it works for me all the time and never had experience something wrong with it.,

No, put it on the connector holder before you wrap it with tape, sometimes theirs a situations that youre going to have a tensioned wire when you put it back to the machine.

what's a good online source to get the connectors and wire harness supplies? i.e. what's the mcmaster or digikey of wire harnesses?

I use the fabric tape and then secured them with 3M 23, and then I sleeve them using pet and then heat shrink . Yes my mechanic hates me.

I'm not sure I would call crimp connectors "restoration" but to each their own.

ya really... the worst thing you can do is use butt connectors on a harness.... do it right and solder the wires and use heat shrink over it. now thats how you do it right... now in the pasted i have used the butt connectors but i pulled the plastic off and soldered the wires into it... spend the extra 2 mins. and do it right.

Agreed, why go through all that trouble and then use butt connectors to "fix" wiring connections

I clean mine of all tape then throw the harness into my ultrasound cleaner Hit it with compressed air and hair blower if I can’t hang outside in the sun Then wrap with a great tape and put dielectric grease on all connections

You should finish off by wrapping in new plastic wire loom (conduit) the ribbed covering you cut off in the beginning of the video. Or is that fabric wrap just as good? I think wrap it like you did then plastic conduit covering. Multiple sizes available at most autoparts stores or harbor freight for cheap.
