Guys,

After this finding in my harness...



I started the search over the forum & internet for a better and upgraded engine harness... I don´t want to go to a brand new mainly because I would hate to get a new OEM Piece and cutting it away to make it a single turbo harnes...

So,

http://www.rywire.com/
I made a call, very friendly people, but no FD harness yet. There is no firm date to have it in stock and it will be published on the website when is available.

Very friendly again, it looks like the harness is on development and it will be a couple of month before is ready. No news about the specs or pricing.

Nice guy, we were on the phone for a long time and he actually can build a custom harness for me. He would get a used OEM Harness, rebuild the connectors and make a new one fully customized for me. They are very busy right now and this may take a couple of weeks before he can start working on my order. He´s got a great feedback on the "other" forum...


So, am I missing something ?? Any other option available ??

Anyone on the forum can build a custom / upgraded/ mils spec / re wrapped one ??

Any input is welcome...

Thanks..!!!

 

Every time I call Rywire, it's "about three weeks" until available.

That is with an extra week in between phone calls. I doubt they'll be out any time soon.

If jordaninnovations gave you a price quote for less than the cost of a new OEM harness, I say go for it. But I did hear that the Rywire piece will be around $650 for a milspec harness.

So it's really up to you.

 

Do you have any idea of how much for a new OEM one ??

Jeff from JordanInnovations gave a budgetary price of US$600 + Core for a Basic / Non Emission / No Bulkhead connector Mil spec harness.

And just FYI, for about US$2.000 he can get you a brand new custom Body Harness, with brand new racing specs Fuse Boxes and moving every wire inside the car. It would be a Plug & Play wire tuck body harness...

Any feedback on his product ?? I don´t see many (any) of his products in this forum...

 

I'm certain there will be those who disagree but I genuinely don't understand anyone who has such a hard-on for "mil-spec" wiring. The stock harness, while crispy, typically works after 20yrs (although I'd 100% replace it when an engine is replaced) and unless you plan on driving your FD through the mud or below negative temperatures I find it hard to justify the additional cost of "mil-spec" for what you get.

That's just me though. =)

 

Yea but the two prices listed above are about 200 cheaper than a new oem harness and thats the main reason.

 

And what about a re wrapping service ?? I mean, can I send a good condition used harness to anyone for conversion and rebuild ???

That would also help....

 

we have them now, just a fyi

So you will deliver either an OEM-spec harness or one properly modified for single turbo if I read this correctly?

What a great service, will definitely be speaking with you later this year.
