New Wiring Harness: How can I preserve it?
The factory piece gets worn eventually and will need replacement. How can I preserve the life of my new harness?
Any help will be appreciated,
Victor

Use teflon tape + silicone tape. Both are rated to 500F.
Do not use:
Romex (Mazda used this, it maxes out at 85C).
Electrical tape (85C as well).
Wiring loom (200F max).

Get some 50% heat wrap, we use the stuff on F-15's, it will hold up on anything your RX-7 can dish out... It dosen't even have to fit the harness tight to provide protection.

Vented hood, downpipe, ceramic or header wrap on downpipe, single turbo (with careful attention to where the harness runs close to any of its non-OEM parts) -- anything that will keep the underhood temps down. Heat kills the harness.

When I installed mine new from Ray Crowe, I wrapped it in the Cool-tape mentioned above. It goes on nice and easy. I got it from Summit for like $12. Has held up great and looks good after almost a year.
There's not much you can do to help the connectors; just try to keep the under-hood temps down.

you could also get a haltech for alittle more. i wouldnt suggest buying a new stock harness, not worth it IMO.

Here's what OKRX-7 probably has in mind.

A shop local to me carries 3M's full line. This particular kind hasn't melted on any of my monster power supplies or robotics projects... yet.
