If you get a tool similar to a stainless dental pick, you can depin the connectors then feed the wires through some of the factory holes, then they snap back into the connectors super easy without having to cut as much! I always just take pics with my phone to remember the pin locations
My bros car made 300 tire @17pounds with a cx racing kit. Completely stock z6. Lasted all summer pounding and taching tf out of it. Eventually the rods gave out and sawed the block in half. Nice job love ur vids.
Hey james i had a question from a diff video. I have a b16 intake manifold. And ordered a 70mm throttle body. In order to do this use the new gasket for a template then use sharpie to draw how much off just on the intake manifold? Then will dremel grinding blades work good? Cuz the sanders for the dremel burn up quickly
Maybe you could do a video on how, its time to replace my liner fabric and I have no idea how to remove the shade, gonna do it in faux suede Jo Ann fabric has good material about 10 $ a yard
Got a question hope you reply. That single cam auto teg you had. What harness did you use? teg or civic? Cause I know the teg use a ecu just for the trans. So I'm thinking I have to use my civic harness and ecu to get it to work or no? I mite be getting a free auto teg for some work but it's just a shell. I was planing on taking the drive train from my girls eg and putting it in the teg. Due to the fact her car was in a accident and I don't like body work lol.
James Dguy I guess what I mean is what you used for the engine harness. Just use the harness that is on the b7 coming out of the civic? And then jumper harness to obd1 b7 ecu?
Hey man, so I've been building my EJ1 slowly. Forged, boost, Neptune RTP, etc. Last thing I've gotta do is finish the tuck before winter really hits and I have to store the car again...so inside the front inner fender wells I cut bigger holes on each side to run the wiring. But rust is a big issue up here in Vermont. What should I do about lining these "cuts" that I made? I thought about simple electrical tape but I want something a bit more sturdy. Should I spray rust fighter around there and use some rubber like maybe cut a vacuum hose in half length-wise and line the edges of the cuts with it? Any advice would be cool you've got a lot of experience and it's my first full tuck...btw I love all your vids-been subbed for quite a while!
Noah Dion I would use rubberized spray on the metal where cuts were made, then use rubber hose cut down the middle and wrap it around the wiring at that area u have the wiring touching metal to better protect ur wiring and keep ur cut from rusting.
Other good products you can look into is POR-15 for large areas after you've ground down the rust, just make sure if it's going to be exposed to sunlight, to put some kind of paint over top since its UV sensitive. For exposed bolt ends, try spraying them with FluidFilm so they dont get corroded/seized. and it never hurts to apply some permatex anti-seize to any major chassis bolts you have.
you can do this whole thing including tuck the fuse box under the dash w.o depinning or cutting a single wire or drilling any holes at all. Good job though many ways to skin a cat!
Hi, James I have a question hope you can reply I have 96 Honda Civic ex manual sedan d15b engine the problem is water reservior boiling bubbles when the engine get hot but the temperature gauge its normal. I use only regular water because the mechanic said don't use the coolant? Please help me you are a good mechanic always watch your videos. Thanks a lot .
from watching this, it would take you longer to run it into the car then out of the car then cutting the frame of the car like you have.All you have to do it unplug everything, take pictures of the plugs and orientation then pop the pins out of the plug and run it out the hole on the frame and not cut your frame up.This is the way not to do it.
Brycen Mazurek that's how you do it then but on 92-95 they have a slot already pre cut there. and the depinning method takes alot longer for me I was never really good at deepening connectors because when they went back together half the time the connection wasn't as good so for me this is the way I do it you don't like it do it your way this is my RUclips video and this is how I do it if you want you can take what I showed you and put your own twist on it
aahhhh wait I did the same thing as you after watching it 3 times lmao I was stuck on the engine bay ones but so with the windshield wipers plug how did you get that to the engine bay did you use the hole saw like you did on the other side under the fuse box?
hay James i found this diy for the sunroof shade upholstery honda-tech.com/forums/honda-acura-28/headliner-diy-sunroof-96-00-ex-em1-2338395/ it's a detailed write for anybody wanting to do this, hope you don't mind me posting this on your page, oh yes d series for life!
James Dguy ummm yeah im all good thanks for two reasons, one because i am in australia and two because its alot cheaper for me to do it but i will admit it looks good, plus my wiring is abit of a mess at the moment anyway
Yea it's all good haha cheaper to do it urself anyways.. also people down here charge 1000$-2000$ to do a tuck and paint job so I'm really super cheap haha but ur quit a ways away

Colin Brunt that's true I've done that before just trying to keep it simple haha I had to do it when doing my obd0-obd1 swap
Colin Brunt but this is a very important thing to mention for next time thanks for more input!

hay james i know this is off topic but do you have any info on doing a sunroof shade upholstery, cant figure how to remove the shade
pucho513 I have no idea. now I'm curious as to what that even is lol
The slider that goes back when you open the sunroof on the ex
Oh ok lol I wasn't even surr
Sure*
Maybe you could do a video on how, its time to replace my liner fabric and I have no idea how to remove the shade, gonna do it in faux suede Jo Ann fabric has good material about 10 $ a yard
nice job now i can do it to my 00 civic. thanks
Joey Maganis no problem! glad to help

RedLineBandits I used obd1 auto d15b7 ecu which ran everything Idk how to help but I did my d series auto swap and just swapped everything as normal
James Dguy I guess what I mean is what you used for the engine harness. Just use the harness that is on the b7 coming out of the civic? And then jumper harness to obd1 b7 ecu?
Oh gotcha I used harness that came with b7 engine and then the teg I had was obd1 so just swapped ecu and that was all
James Dguy Oh ok cool. Thanks for the help. I should be able to get this to work with having both cars for parts lol.
RedLineBandits wish you continued success!!! good luck
how many days to complete this wire tucking?
darwin andres this took me a few hours.
OK = Thank You :)
No problem

so you didn't extend the wires that go to the main connectors in the middle of the bay?
thank you bro for an idea :D i want to look my engine bay cleaner
cool video, i might try it, but i have another question, what's the name of the song?

from watching this, it would take you longer to run it into the car then out of the car then cutting the frame of the car like you have.All you have to do it unplug everything, take pictures of the plugs and orientation then pop the pins out of the plug and run it out the hole on the frame and not cut your frame up.This is the way not to do it.

Currently doing this as we speak great video but im stuck on one part
? What part
aahhhh wait I did the same thing as you after watching it 3 times lmao I was stuck on the engine bay ones but so with the windshield wipers plug how did you get that to the engine bay did you use the hole saw like you did on the other side under the fuse box?
SquidEx Villa I cut it open a bit with a grinder but when I opened It up there Is already has a hole it's kinda hard to see but it's in there
Sir mra car me petrol airij ka msla aya he woranga me
You could've just de pinned the wires instead cutting the holes. But still looks good tho
Jaymo_ EK9 thanks i could have depinned done it too much in the past hate doing it lol my pick tool is also missing so I said f it and cut it lol
James Dguy keep up the video bro.
Will do thanks for watching!
looking forward to doing this on my ek, gotta keep ac in florida😰😰😰
pucho513 it is possible to do it and keep a/c that's forsure.
Man fuck.. 😅 went to town with that drill and grinder huh..

paint and tuck the wires in my engine bay
Davey Rowley u charge about 400$ to do it but I make it look good
I charge***
James Dguy ummm yeah im all good thanks for two reasons, one because i am in australia and two because its alot cheaper for me to do it but i will admit it looks good, plus my wiring is abit of a mess at the moment anyway
Yea it's all good haha cheaper to do it urself anyways.. also people down here charge 1000$-2000$ to do a tuck and paint job so I'm really super cheap haha but ur quit a ways away
James Dguy un all honestly i wasnt expecting a reply but that is pretty expensive for a tuck, but the paint side is expansive as over here aswell
Just so may job u do bro.....u can remove wire pin from connector then install back to connctor ....then no need cut your body to,,,bad job
cant see shit! too dark, get some lighting
Omer Zaman already did. newer videos have more lighting and there was good lighting but the go pro it self does shitty in low light
You honda guys are weird, always ripping out creature comforts and making cars harder to work on.
pdgeman its never hard to work on a Honda haha
