Here it is, guys... my brand new wiring harness. It looks, sounds (no cracking), smells (new plastic) and tastes (don't ask) great. I've been waiting on this for a while. I got it from Ray at Malloy for a pretty reasonable deal. If anyone is considering a wiring harness, now's the time to buy, since the prices are going up; they're up about $80-$100 from last MONTH.

Now I'm going to hack it up!

If anyone needs some brand new solenoid plugs, or anything else that I cut off, please let me know.

 

Badass! Wanna trade for my baked harness? You'll probably have an easier time removing connectors from mine since they'll just fall right off.

That's a beauty, eh. I need a new one but i'm putting it off.

 

how much were they???

is it the complete engine wiring harnesS?

 

That's a complete engine wiring harness, ya. $680 shipped from Ray (ouch!)

 

yes...how much was the harness??? I would like to rewire my car and also, what does it include? Is that the wiring harness for just the engine or the whole car?
Thanks,

Craig

 

How much could it be
, just a few pieces of wire and a couple of connectors, $50 bucks?

 

LOL!
Its only $680.

 

Mazdaspeedmotorsports sells em for ~450 (as of 4 months ago)

one of the better things i have bought for my car..

 

Like I said, 4 months ago; prices go up.

And I'm not active SCCA (although I plan to be), so they won't sell them to me anyway.

 

A buddy of mine bought a new TurboII harness back in the day. Man, you just can't beat new parts - all nice and shiny and whatnot .

You almost feel bad putting it in the car, since you know it's gonna get all crappy over time!

The worst part is trying to gather the courage to make the first cut to a virgin harness - haven't got there yet. I've had it 2:00 and counting...

 

why dont you just leave it be? You dont *need* to cut anything for any reason...

just leave them, too many people have had problems when they 'clean' up their harness...i'd choose to just let it be...but that is me

 

Wow, it's so pretty! lol.

 

yeah dont hack it...if for any reason you wreck your car thats an easy 700 in your pocket for a nice new one


a new harness should defn be considered a reliability mod..and one of the first you do

 

Yeah, I thought about it for a while and ended up taping everything I'm not using out of the way.

You're definitely right.

I'm working on the install right now - getting through the firewall is a major PITA. I came inside for batteries for the flashlight.

 

broken93 I can't wait to see your car it's going to be NICE!!!

 

Phew harness is in. Back is sore. Hernias are plenty. Hands are bleeding.

I'm going to fab up the fuel return for my FPR, put the UIM on and call it a night.

For future reference, if you're having trouble getting that sealing grommet to pop into the firewall, give it a finger coat of lithium grease and tug on it from inside the car and it will pop in a lot easier.

 

Calling it quits for tonight. UIM installed, wiring done, fuel system done. As you can see in the pic the rear turbo is not mounted - nice shot of the front D/P

 

I got mine from Ray as well. I know exactly how you feel, not using half of the connectors after shelling out all that cash kinda sucks

 

I thought you were going to sleep with the thing tonight! Would be a shame to hack it up. It's also a shame to have all the extra crap when you don't need it. We need someone to make an alternative harness with out all the crap and for less then what the OEM one cost!

 

hmmmm, reminds me of my thread

would be very easy if i didn't have to make a auto harness work for a manual

if anyone has a used harness for sale let me know, I can come up with some easy schematics and how to's for us single, no emmisions people

 

dont you love a nice empty engine bay

 

I certainly do! I saw that pic in your other thread... looking good!

 

I wouldn't hack it. Just don't hook up what you don't want.
