Thank you for showing all of us how long and what it takes to wire a car properly. I enjoyed the whole series, very informative about planning, tools, and proper wiring techniques. Enjoy your shower, your co workers will appreciate it too.
Power Probe is an amazing tool. I use mine regularly. I have the power probe 4 which has the ability to test the inductive kick of an injector. I bought a car that they did the twist and heat shrink on an entire 16 pin ecm connector. Thanks for all the hard work wiring this car and sharing your tips. I’ve very much enjoyed the series.
Thanks for the series. Got my project car running on an elite after watching this series a few times. 96 Rav4 wagon Gen5 3sgte. First engine conversion.
Thanks for going through the entire wiring process! If that’s an Astra power steering pump - 12V IGN to the black wire, 12V Trigger to Blue/White trace. If you put power to both at the same time the pump builds pressure very slowly and also cuts completely if the voltage drops.
Dave, this has been a long series to view but it's because it had to be. Thanks mate for showing us what goes into a custom loom and doing your best to educate us. And yeah i think Dave's wiring blog should become a standard thing so we can learn and laugh at some of your adventures (I would have loved to seen just how bad Mr poo was) and im sure you know a few guys who can help out with cars and content !!
UPDATE: Here is the complete build + Dave's Q&A on this series: ruclips.net/video/8mJ60a-6fCo/видео.html It's the final episode of this series! Dave tidies up all the loose ends under the car and shows how to use a Power Probe (it's quite handy!). Moving into the car the iC-7 Dash find its rightful place in a custom-made cluster. Dave then gets down and dirty on the ignition switch. Moving to the rear of the car Dave wires up the power steering pump and the fuel pumps as well as the transmission cooler fan. Back in the cabin - it's crunch time, with the ECU connected will it all work when Dave turns the key? We're about to find out.... We will revisit this build when it's all completed so if you have any questions please leave them in the comments and we'll do our best to answer them in the recap episode:) ------------------------------------------------------------ For more info about this project and links to all products used go to: www.haltech.com/daves-wiring-vlog/

Awesome work. Having built my engine loom from scratch on my car it’s both good to see I’ve done it correctly and also some good tips I can use in the future 😁
Quality videos Haltech!!. Nice work Dave. Any chance of Videos splicing into factory sensors and Stock loom integration? making stock dashs, coolant gauge tachos ect working with engine conversions. Thanks
I have a question 😬 I have a 24v 2.8 VR6 mk4 golf ( my kiddie dream car lol ) how could I use your ecu to control my haldex 4WD system ? Would it be the same as factory or could it be set up differently 🤤? I loved the vlog I asked for longer episodes and I got so cant complain the info was invaluable I just want to know how a Haltech could control my haldex and VR6 motor and I’d be a happy man I know it’s capable of running 6 because of the Barras you guys have done 👌🏼👍🏼😬 much love from the UK 👍🏼
great vlog guys, just a quick question, when you wired up the coils did you use a HPI, couldn't see one getting wired up, also with the dash, was it just the CAN wires you used to power it up? cheers
Take a look at the early episodes, you'll see a plenty few empty bottles on the wiring table, haha. I guess it confirms HP Academy's comment about being restricted to one a day... Nope!

This series wouldn't have worked, without Dave. Get him in front of the camera more :)
We agree. :)
Loved this series. Please do more of these style videos!
I’m actually sad that this series is over. Has been very helpful so thanks heaps! Love your style Dave.

Have since seen this too, I will probably change the pump wiring now :)

Well done Dave. You made it really easy to follow along.
Dave, you are legit a badass and an inspiration
Great talk through and explanations

Why do you use crimps to join the wires instead of soldering???
Is there any plans of making a bigger Dash similar to that of Motec C1212?

Loved this series, just want it to keep going.
I really enjoyed the series and learned alot and feel alot better doing wiring stuff now :)
Loved the series. Great attention to detail and very descriptive. Thanks again man.
You did not let the magic black smoke out of any electronic devices, I call that a win.
Keep it up Dave, love all the work That's been done, so more series' from you soon hopefully????
Maybe......
Without giving anything away all we can say is: stay tuned...
@@haltech sounds good to me! Don't keep us all waiting too long now :P
Great series, now spending my beer tokens on wiring loom components to get my ECU up and running after almost 8 years
Great series of Vlogs guys. So much great information from basic stuff to advanced in-depth topics.
Great series man, thanks for making it.
Awesome work. Having built my engine loom from scratch on my car it’s both good to see I’ve done it correctly and also some good tips I can use in the future 😁
Thanks to 8-bit Dave for dropping the knowledge!
Good stuff Dave! Excellent series
Awesome series guys! Thanks a lot!
what a great series, it helping me so much to understand things while im in the process of building my own harness.
Excellent effort. Thanks so much for the comprehensive walkthrough. Hope you get a real bed soon😋
Yes, Love this video series. Thank you.
I choose Haltech for the ecu of my car just because of all the vids on your channel ;)
Thanks for watching!
Very proud of you son.
I moved overseas in March (great timing I might add) and the ONE tool kit I brought in my checked baggage was my Power Probe! 😂
The expert twist and tape lol😂😂 yeah I see that quite a few times weekly.
Nice job mate 👍
LMAO electrical expert with yellow wiring tape hahaha, Dave you are hilarious!
loved it!
Great videos, learnt something’s about wiring. But I have to say that luxury hotel looks like Marty’s dream evo 😂
That's because it is;)
Good stuff Dave! Excellent video Would you like to test our other circuit testers?
Hi Dave, Can you guys make a plug and play setup for the k series ecu to work with a the CL9 and CL7 Honda Accord
Quality videos Haltech!!. Nice work Dave. Any chance of Videos splicing into factory sensors and Stock loom integration? making stock dashs, coolant gauge tachos ect working with engine conversions. Thanks
Could you talk about wire gauge and fuse ratings?
I see you wired up the IC7 in an Evo, any chance I can get some information for that setup?
I have a question 😬

So... The day counter -- done beforehand or not? Love the videos!
maybe.... maybe not. hard to remember tbh....

I had to drink 10 beers just to make that intro - what a life!!
What brand head unit is in it. I recognize that annoying shutting down noise. Sony? Old pioneer?
Sony - so obnoxious!!!
Marty's Evo???
Not any more:)
I had a Dream that Marty once owned that EVO
Would a standalone ecu like the haltech be able to control the AWD system in a car like a Mazda 6 mps/mazdaspeed 6?
Hi there, unfortunately no - it's a direct injection engine which we don't support at this stage.
Who TF did the welds on whatever that black pipe is!?
Aussie version of Travarish?
Sour Words How? Why? Can you find any likeness except being on RUclips car videos?
How much would it cost to do the hole job ?

Did you note how many hours was spent on this project? Just interested.
Damn, almost 1st
almost 1st = 2nd
Twist & tape a really good way to burn your car down
...but it was done by an "expert" with yellow electrical tape.
Did you even wash your eyes
