Anyone have a wire tuck DIY?
Google: Honda De-pinning.... the info that they provide saved me from unnecessarily cutting some very sensitive wires, seeing as how i wanted to sleeve everything.
Also, never crimp wires. Always solder them back together. If you are already going the extra mile to do a wire tuck, dont be a lazy *** by crimping. Do it right, do it once. And always heat shrink solder joints.
Use the heat shrink that has the adhesive in it. Gives a water tight seal, and keeps sleeving in place.
Never cut sensor wires [exp: MAF, TB, etc]. By shortening or lengthening sensor wires, you will mess up the frequency or resistance going through them, thus messing up the signal, thus throughing your car into safe mode. Not fun at all. Worst case senario: you will have to pull the engine, replace the engine wire harness, and have the engine put back in. Trust me, its happened
Any wires being extended and rerouted near a high heat source, wrap them in heat sleeve. Exp: AC compressor wire harness, oil pan sensor harness, ALT wire harness, water pump wire harness [i think i remember it being the water pump
, etc] YOu dont want the headers to melt those wires.

To do a wire tuck, wires Do Not need to be cut at all.
If you want to sleeve them in a nice sleeving, you do have to de-pin the plugs, just do one plug at a time, so you don't mix them up.

^ People do it differently. When I do a wire tuck on a G35, I do not cut any wires, or even extend any.
On an FX, wires do need to be cut and extended. I did a BMW M5, some ground wires had to be cut and extended. On a Datsun 510 ( SR 20 swap ), the main engine harness did not need to be cut, but some of the lighting wires needed to be extended. Next up, FD RX7.
