Top tip, when you solder, heat the wire with the iron from underneath and feed the solder in from the top in to the wire, you shouldn't cover your iron in solder. Flux paste on the wires also for a top job.
Thank you! Its coming along slowly. Usually by now i would have a engine in but this month has been horrible on income.. We will pick back up soon and be pumping them videos out daily eventually.
@@TexasHondaChannel you should try and hit up Ricer Miata, he's about to do a cross country trip from FLA. To Colorado, have him on the channel and you'll get a ton of new subs . Plus the dood is just awesome to hangout with. You have Great content and I'd love to see this channel blow up.

If your not adding heat shrink wrap on the cables u should cut your positive connection slightly off from others incase tape peals or shifts with weather
I liked the video, but from what ive seen professional race cars do, is that they simplify the harness as much as possible, and make it as easy as possible to remove, that way during a race, if theres a small fire, or fender bender they can swap the harness in under 5 minutes to keep racing
Creative content that helps! even though needs some corrections in reconnecting the wires. Btw, this is awesome & detailed! lots of love from Malaysia 💖
De-pin the wires would have been much better. As for your soldering skills...FAIL. We all know you need to cover the connections with heatshrink tubing instead of just electrical tape. At least use a rubber grommet
Heat shrink is just for a cleaner look. Unless it has the adhesive to make the connection water proof heat shrink will offer no extra benefit compared to e tape besides aesthetics. And we know 90% of enthusiast are gonna save money and purchase regular heat shrink
The wire tuck routing was really cool but please learn how to solder before you cut the harnesses. You never cut a harness like that. Cut the wires at different lengths so they are not in one huge ball.
Jo A Inactually did on my other channel I used a hole saw an drilled the hole through and ran all the wires through it with a grommet but seeing is how I am literally the biggest budget baller ever I’m broke as hell from paying for a house to live in and food on the table for my family so that was a expense I didn’t have money for at all.
U can do what you think is best for u but use this video has a guide ! I’m wiring tuckin my eg coupe that’s gettin a obd2b gsr from integra but I think I can use my stock eg coupe harness
You need to improve your soldering skills. Overlap the wires, one over another and then solder. Cover with heatshrink tubing and then electrical tape/wire loom.
Eric Xiong i have never had a issue with them holding and i have cars 5+ yrs on the road still using this method. Thanks for the tips though. Some times I do them like = then twist around
Cooterbaby when you suck at the depin method and always screw it up then yes lol I prefer cut and solder method 🤷🏻♂️ you do it your way I’ll do it my way. If your good at the depin route then more power to ya.
Cringe at the re wiring. This is how cwr fires start. Not a safe method at all. It would be better to use de pin . Or use a new connector block if you have to cut the wires.
@@chukob5 …..heatshrink eliminates the chances of exposed wires touching ground. Why do you think all those half-assed wire tucks have electrical issues such as blown fuses.
Eric Xiong if your careful electrical tape is meant for the same purpose that’s why it’s “electrical tape” just buy decent tape most of the wires he’s tucking will never have to be exposed or moved again
No one watching this should fallow this. If you don’t have the couple of extra $$$ to use the right parts, you might want to not be doing this until have the extra $20 to do it right.
@@evanknight3629 at least it's body on frame with a huge engine bay so might be easy. I would say a the hoses would be more difficult to route since it has a oil cooler a Trans cooler & a tone of value lines

Here is a official link to get merchandise!
To all the people who wanna give pointers make your own videos of this it was a good video he showed what you needed to know
Tip on depinning push the wire in, unlock then pull it this method always works for me.
Top tip, when you solder, heat the wire with the iron from underneath and feed the solder in from the top in to the wire, you shouldn't cover your iron in solder. Flux paste on the wires also for a top job.
Should just de pin that plug so much quicker and easier
I’m trying to Engine Tuck my 93 Honda Civic and this was the best tutorial I could find thank you for the help
I hear ya bro, it's much easier to re-solder them than it is to re-pin them. Bay is looking sick homie.

I used to suck at depinning too bro. Practice. You'll get better. I use bobby pins and paperclips.
There's a video on how how to de-pin connectors.

Didn't realize you were Moore Motorsports until I saw the Irish tattoo, lol.
Going to have so much fun with my 2011 Crown Vic wire tuck 😂
Your videos are super helpful and well made. Great work!
Thanks i appreciate it

Why
@@frazeldazzel184 cuz you can start a fire, shit can short. Just a big no no
why hondas get a bad name because people want to cut wiring harnesses and electrical tape them together and cheap out on everything

Cut them all in the same place AND an inch from the plug? Was the battery still connected out of curiosity
Honda genius!
Shaun Anthony I don’t like to toot my own horn but toot toot lol. I try my best and that’s all I can do.
Not bad. I wish I could of helped you. Your soldering was horrible but nice routing.
It's easier and faster to just depin the connections than to solder.
JRC54 I suck at depinning so for me it isn’t and my luck I would screw that up.
I think I might do this tuck on my wife's ek. Seems simple enough for a first time tucker lmao
Latommyla has a good method no cutting or soldering required
New sub here... thanks bro for this vid
Cutting wire hell no. Smell like problem in the future,, poor guy whoever buy that car from you if selling the future
Atrocious wiring job
Heat shrinks are better for finishing. However, nice job and idea!
Cars going to be frying lol
You could easily de pinned it instead of cutting it. But other than that nice video
I like your style. But I wondering why couldn't you just make a bigger hole to pass wire ?
Thanks

U can do what you think is best for u but use this video has a guide ! I’m wiring tuckin my eg coupe that’s gettin a obd2b gsr from integra but I think I can use my stock eg coupe harness
What’s the name of that metal piece under the fender that’s spot welded on? Mine are all rusty and need replacing but I can’t find the name or part
To extend wires what kind of wire do you use?
I like to use 16 gauge

It looks good bro😎👍😎😎👍😎😎👍😎👍👍
What is the color that u used on ur engine bay
When you think life is bad just remember , he can’t afford to buy heat shrink. Hope things get better buddy.
The way you ran the wires was fine but you cutting and soldering the harness to “save time” is offensive
Faster to cut and resolder than to depin? 🤔 ok

@@TexasHondaChannel Learn how to depin a plug correctly and save yourself some time! A lot of time!
Should’ve just de pinned it. But other than that nice video
that grmet is literally the reason you get water on your floor when it rains or u wash the car.

Heat shrink is your friend. Good stuff tho.
It makes no difference the point is that you can’t see it

" now once you complete your tuck your engine bay should smoke just like mine 😅 "
This is such a haggard ass way to do it 🤦🏻♂️ You’re literally butchering the harness!
Right I was thinking the exact same thing
what color is your engine bay?
Yes
Jesus christ man a little overkill with the tape! Nobody is ever unplugging that!
Don't know why Honda didn't do that to begin with,....they put wires all over the place
I Feel like heat shrink butt conecters would be faster. Js
Would have been a better connection as well rather then his shitty soldering job
No one watching this should fallow this. If you don’t have the couple of extra $$$ to use the right parts, you might want to not be doing this until have the extra $20 to do it right.
Dude is rough with those wires...bet his car gives him he'll all the time...he's rushing too much
id just get junk connector or just de pin that one an get oem pins
Smfh
Wonder how easy this is on a Crown Vic 😂
Bro don’t even try it takes hours to fish that thing out to attempt replacing it I would cry if I had to wire tuck a Vic
@@evanknight3629 at least it's body on frame with a huge engine bay so might be easy. I would say a the hoses would be more difficult to route since it has a oil cooler a Trans cooler & a tone of value lines
Yeah don't do this.
