Rob doesn't make youtube videos anymore, he makes fucking feature films of his work. The grind is unreal, and all the skills he has learned himself the last few years is astonishing.
@@galou Been supporting him on Patreon since the very start, well worth the money. Love the in-depth livestreams and how he answers basically any and all questions.
Can we all take a moment to acknowledge that Dahm Racing went from just Rob, to Rob and Jaret, to just Rob, to Rob and Isaiah, to now a whole crew in only a span of a few years. His shop also went from an empty shell with a few cars to a fully furnished racing garage.
I'm an electrician within nuclear for 20 years. The materials/process for the connectors appear surprisingly similar actually. Thanks for the upload dude!
But for real. Wiring always seems like such a long and tedious task to me, it's so much easier to pay somebody else a lot of money to do it right than to get frustrated and cut corners because I'm too impatient
You think this is crazy look up videos of guys reverse engineering old NASA Apollo wiring and computers using analog technology that was designed without using computers
@@nodak_forged I'm just talking about the engine harness. You will only need 3-4 for an engine harness. I had a B18A1 I did with the same type of connectors and I only needed 3 of them once you bring all the wires to 1 central point.
Quad rotor Diablo is still stuck on my mind, since that 2 rotor one i saw months ago. Always excited to see what's new on Rob's channel, and can't wait to see what comes next.
@@_Zdex007 IIRC, the viper was actually one of the cars discussed for a 6 rotor swap. Need something with a large enough engine bay to fit the 6 rotor + cooling and other accessories. Look at the length of the 3 rotor, then double it.
I noticed you used a blue seas marine battery switch, tip from a marine technician is have the wiring supported because the housing fails and will leave you dead in the water / track in case
@@RobDahm now after watching, the mount made is all metal, just toss a piece of thin rubber on the backside incase she pops off. It's still a quality switch considering
@52:12 Rob explains the greater number of strands / diameter of a wire increases it's voltage capability, and prevents the voltage from dropping. Technically speaking that's incorrect, the gauge of the wire increases its current handling (amp) capability, not voltage. Using a wire that is too small for the rated current will act more like a resistor and develop a voltage drop (lost as heat) that will subtract from the full potential of the rail, hence a lower voltage reading from the receiving end.
At very high current loads the insulation can combust and light car interior on fire burn car to the ground! I’ve seen it happen unfortunately mainly in car audio, bad grounds spell disaster as well.
Only thing that multi-strand wires are really important would be AC power transmission. AC tends to travel on the "skin" of the strand so having more of them helps that. Otherwise the strands are for flexibility alone. On DC power that doesn't matter.
I design electrical systems and harnesses for collection vehicles and it always interesting to see other peoples perspectives about it. Keep the long format! Edit: Nice to see you're a TE man as well, they're a little expensive but the quality is always great.
There's a lot of things where you think that the extra expense isn't worth it until you use it and figure out why they charge that much. Working for GM I thought it was stupid that they use Torque angle Yield ratchets that cost 50 grand to well over 150 grand until the guy showed me that they perfectly set every bolt and nut and can sense the exact point when the bolt stretches too much. You wouldn't think it would matter that much but in a manufacturing setup it absolutely does. Beefy, they never break, endure constant abuse and work perfectly every single time. Zero downtime due to them. Set it and forget it.
Kevin Vides is other worldly talented. What an amazing collaboration, I'm so happy you guys teamed up to make this magic happen. What an extremely gratifying and humbling video.
Not going to lie, watching this masterpiece being built in time-lapse with no sound for 90 minutes is better than any 90 min movie Hollywood has put out in years and LOVE every second of your content
IKR! Sitting watching a trashy action movie, wondering when it's over after the 1 hr mark getting antsy, or thinking this can't be a 20 min vid, mby it's half hour/40 mins, and looking at the time and being 1.25 hours in without noticing lol.
I just took in how smart Rob actually is . dudes really humble in videos but he doings a lot of shit . Props dude. Ive been off work for a while due to mental shit but just started new job 3 weeks ago feels great. Hope one day I can know as much as you
$13,000 harness secured to the chassis with zipties, the classic Dahm style we all love. Jokes aside, I know that's probably just temporary, but Rob you better have a bunch of rubber cushion adel clamps on order for securing the harness. And massive props, this is harness is as well if not better put together than some of the aircraft harness's I see.
It's also good to see the new hood and fenders coming along nicely. Since these have actually been handled by professionals in the industry, they should actually stay on the car during hard pulls. Also, whenever you get the wiring harness in, you'll have to print off a picture of the 4-rotor on a piece of shrinky-dink plastic sheeting just so you can shrink your car like all those harness boots. Also, at what point does Rob commission a polycarbonate dash and center column so he can admire his wiring loom while driving?
I'm only like 40 mins into this video and I've enjoyed this more than most YT videos I've seen in a while. There's something so relaxing about the wiring cuts with some chill beats and then spots of commentary and funny moments.
Love the Australian representation in the video. Mighty Car Mods (mighty no rods) and also Haltach is an Australian company. Great job Rob doing things right.
Watching this dude push, and learn...find deficits in his skills and bring them into his strengths is seriously the most inspiring thing ever. In a world of excuses, this guy just makes it happen.
The amount of passion that goes into all of this is amazing. I would say the fact that I'm watching the wiring process and enjoying it like a movie/work of art speaks for itself. Love what y'all do, keep it coming Rob.
This guy has more patience then I ever could have. Braiding that wire and keeping it straight. Better you then me. I hate running wire, but I don't put that much time into it. I hope Rob's paying you handsomely
I really respect guys like Kevin and even Isaiah. They’re confident in their craft. They can visualize what needs to happen and then they execute it perfectly.
I have alwasy been intimidated by automotive wiring. Today after watching this whole video I stand by that that feeling. The harness is absolutely incredible and the hard work has paid off you absolute mad man
I’ve been working with those DMC crimpers since 1998. I still have the same pliers from 1998 and they still work great. Funny that they have not been redesigned at all in the past 24 years.
Getting so close to a million subs! Great milestone and I hope you get all the sponsors that your hard work deserves. Think about it, a million people standing behind what you are doing....
This is the best thing to watch when running MATLAB autonomous vehicle simulation code! Thanks for being there for me as I scream for the nth time at my screen for refusing to calibrate properly XD
As someone who does this for a living (not on cars, but for offshore). This is super clean work. I'm seriously impressed. You use different connectors, but they look the part. They look super high quality, something that will last. I wish I had the time at work to deliver it this beautifully.
It's amazing Rob's motorsports wiring videos popped up the same time my team and I are rewiring our endurance racing FB. I think one branch of Rob's harness has more wire than our whole car, but still, the techniques he explains have been so useful. It's so easy to nerd out on this stuff.
I had no intention of watching this full video at 2am, but that's exactly what happened.. I just couldn't turn it off.. Especially the beginning part with Kevin, he is a wizard with wire.
I'm speechless. I feel smart listening to Rob, I'm not, but he makes me feel like I know what he's talking about. He's a great communicator. Love this car Rob.
Definately by far my favourite youtube channel! The perfect balance of humor, humble and actual raw talent. I look forward to every new video, keep em coming ;)
I was impressed watching this guy wind the wire bundles, until I watched him make the big right angle boots. Then I was REALLY impressed. I didn't know you could even do that lol!
Absolutely amazing wire work. That's somebody who takes pride in his work and I respect the hell outta that. He's like the Bob Ross of custom wiring lol

Every car lover aspires to build a vehicle to this level of fastidious detail, what an awesome journey this project has become 👏🏼 and I only just noticed the mighty no rods shirt! Love that
Considering how fast I got lost in not understanding anything really in this video, I can sum it up and say this is art. Like someone who builds the most beautiful motor, paints the most vibrant painting, sculpts the most gorgeous statue, this is that. That’s the best way to show my appreciation for something I don’t understand by know is a work of art. Well done good sir
Man, that is impressive Rob. Impressive enough I think I may need to make a stop by the shop to see you. I know I just seen it in person last week, but I dont want to break traditions ... Well worth the 1.5 hour video
You’re doing everything I’ve ever wanted to do with my car. just to let you know You’re the one inspiring me to build my car like that proper an indestructible
that is absolutely WILD!!! so much work, and hopefully you didnt forget anything or want to add something later. Rob and Kevin are my inspiration to make my wiring jobs at least an attempt at their greatness!
That's crazy, the attention to detail towards the end of the video. Even the little manufacturer stamps on the boots are all in the same direction & symmetrical! Super excited knowing she's got juice to start the beast now
I remember asking questions regarding wiring on a stream and man even the past videos didn't truly put into perspective the entire work put into wiring. From watching, Kevin have to add just another layer to keep it even. But then also just the math required to make sure the car doesn't burn down. Great video and series. Cannot wait to see this car on track!
Very cathartic watching the wiring process! Well filmed guys! Just did my own Haltech loom and know how long it takes, and how important the planning is 😋.
All those connectors and the DMC crimpers came from aviation. You should see the different crimping tools we have. We use at least 15 to 20 different crimpers for the all the different connector makes and variations. Rob showed about 2 percent of what is actually out there.
I´ve worked as a military aircraft electrician and what I see there was my daily bread and butter. I wish people who undertake wiring of such projects always would do it this professional like Rob does. Well done Rob you get better and better except for your driving skills, they need more love but as I know you, you will deal with it when the time is right for it.
Rolled my eyes when I saw the length of the video...then watched every second of it and even paused it to got get more coffee. GREAT WORK! Harness looks incredible.
Finally something good to watch at home while having Corona 😂 Your work is awesome and I love the films that you’ve made. These are not videos anymore man. Your work is insane man ! Keep it up and stay safe ✌🏼
It's funny because I worked for nexus before our plant was bought out by leviton. Makes me wonder how much wire I've made for you at this point 🤔 love to see the progress on this car! Always gone to show that you can achieve anything if you take your time and learn the ins and outs!
How am I supposed to watch a 90 minute video after a night shift....and I feel like a sit down with Koenigsegg would be epic...that man is on a completely different level than 99.9% of people.
Having the best of anything involves buying stuff from a company that holds a monopoly. Those connectors look like they are worth every penny, an extraordinary car doesn’t have an ordinary wiring harness.
Less of a monopoly and more of they’re the only company to produce the quality that’s needed. There’s tons of lesser companies and kits you can use. That’s how the big leagues work, premium cost for premium products that not every business can support.
@@mikescherrer4923 I totally understand the situation with trying to buy high quality parts. I just don't like when everything "must" come from one source/supplier!
18:10 you don't need wasted wire (if the number of wires gets ridiculous) you can just use dummy wire. Inquire if the manufacturers sell it, if not, buy it from whomever makes it. It's the same material as the sheath of the wire you use, just no core, pretty cheap, last i checked. I stopped using it when i realized i can use fishing wire to fill out any layers (i use layers to separate various functions of the wire itself + sheets of aluminium to shield them) that are empty. It also increases the strength of the loom. Most of my core wires are 500 kg fishing line or if they really need to be structural cables, a steel strand core.
Good to see someone else that puts a premium on oversizing the cranking related wiring - faster cranking and no worries about the voltage across the ECU dropping below it s minimum.
Rob doesn't make youtube videos anymore, he makes fucking feature films of his work. The grind is unreal, and all the skills he has learned himself the last few years is astonishing.
Fucking A!
I usually say F these movie length RUclips videos but I’m watching it if it’s Rob’s

But for real. Wiring always seems like such a long and tedious task to me, it's so much easier to pay somebody else a lot of money to do it right than to get frustrated and cut corners because I'm too impatient
Motor sport wiring not mil-spec wiring
I'll never look at a wiring harness the same again 😳 demystified and horrified. Incredible.
You think this is crazy look up videos of guys reverse engineering old NASA Apollo wiring and computers using analog technology that was designed without using computers
To be fair, it's only these "mil-spec" harnesses that are this horrifying, a plain-Jane OEM style harness is much easier to do.
Right…glad I stuck around for over an hour.
@@okeelo definitely wiring porn here
@Jim jibroni lmao cry me a river
You might spend $1,000 in just connectors for your engine alone but if you have the means to do it those connectors are the way to go.
I think he said they were $400 a piece. I saw about 8-10 of those in the vehicle alone. So around $3200-$4000 in just connectors

Less of a monopoly and more of they’re the only company to produce the quality that’s needed. There’s tons of lesser companies and kits you can use. That’s how the big leagues work, premium cost for premium products that not every business can support.
@@mikescherrer4923 I totally understand the situation with trying to buy high quality parts. I just don't like when everything "must" come from one source/supplier!
An hour and a half worth of video and yet i keep looking to see if its ending. Good stuff Rob

18:10 you don't need wasted wire (if the number of wires gets ridiculous) you can just use dummy wire. Inquire if the manufacturers sell it, if not, buy it from whomever makes it. It's the same material as the sheath of the wire you use, just no core, pretty cheap, last i checked. I stopped using it when i realized i can use fishing wire to fill out any layers (i use layers to separate various functions of the wire itself + sheets of aluminium to shield them) that are empty. It also increases the strength of the loom. Most of my core wires are 500 kg fishing line or if they really need to be structural cables, a steel strand core.
I’m gonna be making a harness for my FC using the same components. It’s a lot of work but very satisfying once you see it all come together.
Good to see someone else that puts a premium on oversizing the cranking related wiring - faster cranking and no worries about the voltage across the ECU dropping below it s minimum.
