where to find Wiretucking guides?

mr_tec · 20th June 2008, 04:16 AM

as title states after a real good guide/howto/diy/walkthru whatever you want to call it link with pictures.

have searched quite a bit being on dialup doesnt really help most of the links have dead pictures

hondatech seemed mainly relient(sp?) on we-todd-did-racing which is now dead.

post them links up or your diy jobs (with howto's)

Honda-Tech.com: Group Threads: ♠ Shaved, Tucked, Customized Engine Bays - Pics, Theory, Discussion ♠

start from pg1.

and if that doesn't help, search for the threads on here, been around 5 or so of these threads posted up in the past

Your not going to find a definitive guide. Engines are different and so are teh chassis they are in.
Start it, post your progress and issues when you run into them.

The link blazed_rooter posted is the best your probably going to find.

yea i did actually find that one and a few others in the end but that page took so long then i pretty much had to load every pic one by one and its 600pages long?

Horny_Devil · 20th June 2008, 09:56 PM

its got some bloody good info in it

BLAZED_RACER · 20th June 2008, 11:05 PM

more or less need to just look at the first page, the rest of it is just shit.

tysonzane · 20th June 2008, 11:21 PM

Yeah the first page is pretty good and they've been updating it every now and then. Its got the majority of important info and ideas there plus a few helpfull links.

Gudgen · 24th June 2008, 07:16 PM

its all about the DIY attitude and a creative nause.

mr_tec · 24th June 2008, 07:19 PM

and me finally buying a soldering iron

Stubs · 24th June 2008, 07:36 PM

The only 'guide' I know of is for a DC2 and isn't completed yet. It is also more about the guy showing how he did it.

Here's the link anyway:

id say you'd need:

- soldering iron
- harness tape (similar to insulation tape but not as sticky)
- roll of wire

NOTE: only cut if you absolutely need to lengthen something. most connectors and plug can be squeezed back through the firewall and the headlight connectors can be pulled into the car and back out the side.

Unless your a DIY kind of person, just ask someone to do it for you. Its probably better to pay someone.

Hayce · 27th June 2008, 02:00 PM

You'll need solder too I bet...

mr_tec · 27th June 2008, 02:17 PM

yep haha and
- harness tape (similar to insulation tape but not as sticky)
- roll of wire

Horny_Devil · 27th June 2008, 03:36 PM

i prefur heat shrink

Hayce · 27th June 2008, 03:57 PM

Its electrical tape anyway ain't it?

Tape's only used to seal conduit joins or somthing, using it on soldering joins is beyond nasty...

yeah that what i meant. harness tape for wrapping the plastic conduit stuff. and of course heat shrink for soldered wires.

ive wrapped more wires up in bundles than lengthened them in the EF9. heaps of shit can be pulled back through the firewall.
ie. fusebox and headlight wiring.

mr.sky · 27th June 2008, 07:31 PM

i did my eg without cutting anything. depin a few plugs. Tedious but results are satisfying
