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
@berttnotbought804 6 ай бұрын
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.
@rich_mc
@rich_mc 6 ай бұрын
@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. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLmYa7Nlm5ewpXU.htmlsi=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.

Awesome tutorial. I'm doing on the truck, what you did on the bench. Mainly removing old loom, sorting wires and deleting what's not needed. It is much simpler than your project as I'm working on an 86 chevy truck with fitech throttle body, so not near as complex, but I have a question. Would you suggest I wrap the wires with some kind of electrical tape before installing my split braided loom? I see you did that in your video, could you suggest some kind of tape for that if so, and what kind to use to seal the ends of the loom too? Maybe something easy to work with, as I'm working on it on the firewall, and my connectors are all installed too. Thanks Mike

Hi thanks for sharing. If you are still checking replies here, how well does that work? I mean, is it less brutally hot, or so so, given the circumstances, or is it truly comfortable? I ride 30 some miles to work each way on a motorcycle in the Florida heat, in full gear, so I made up a kind of front/back vest with Revix freezer packs. It works so well it feels like air conditioning for the whole 40 minute ride.I even chose a winter riding jacket with the liner removed, so as to keep the cold in. But on those peak heat days where its 93f and up to 100 it fades to barely tolerable by the time I get there. Currently working on V2 with Nordic Ice freezer packs. I want total comfort! I see what youve done there but I doubt there is enough surface area on the piping to provide enough heat transfer to be totally comfortable. Am I wrong? I hope so.

@Bertt Not Bought Thanks- mines got a great running 225 slant 6 in it now and I've been torn between an engine swap or doing the Torqstorm supercharger for the slant... Either option is way farther into mechanics than I've ever been with a car, but with some patience I'll get there. This core is cheap enough that I could still change course and end up doing the blower on the current motor without losing much- worth a shot!

Yes, Hybrid Racing makes a kit I know of. The K series is a much better platform for keeping accessories and having a turbo. The only thing I’m not sure of is hood clearance between it and the pulley but I haven’t even looked into it at all yet. This car hasn’t had power steering since it had the turbo B16, so I figured I’d try it with this boat anchor up front before I looked into whether or not it will work on this set up.

This dogbox is incredibly loose compared to something more like an OE set up. But if you are experiencing drag like that go back through and double check your synchro collars and synchro springs.
