[QUOTE="shiroitenshi, post: 2069581, member: 27518"] Yes, they are.. I checked when I was doing rewiring for the JDM foldable P/W and my CD player. Same for the interior, as I already checked again for the wiring for my radio when I was wiring this harness (because I do not like butchering the original harness, and troubleshooting that mess of wires is a time-consuming job I simply don't have the time for. One thing you have to remember, the 02 sensor, map sensor and the TPS works by detecting resistance (or the lack of it) (in a roundabout way, since the output is in voltage.) I think slight changes in resistance wouldn't mess up the readings, but there's a reason why when you replace the TPS, you have to calibrate it. Wires affect resistance so when you make your own, those minor differences in wire gauges, length might just add up to make a substanstial difference. (sorry, I quit EE before finishing it, so my knowlegde of electronics are rather lacking.) Sure.. pm me your mail add, and I'll scan it for you.. I think it's like 4-6pages? Or you could buy the mag. It's in 'HCi' January 2007 issue. A K-series wire tuck, detailing the procedures and equipment. Oi! you think this is a computer networking project ah? :P (just kidding) Seriously, a single colour is a bad idea, because you cannot double check what you do.. (trust me on this, I've done a bit of wiring work myself, although not on cars.) Sounds like a good idea, but I think you should see the wiring tuck article before you decide anything. I think a spare set of harness is a good idea, because unless if you're doing this for a living (i.e. you've done this lots of times), you'd inevitably screw up. But wiring tuck is always done on a original set of wires, not a fully custom one (although K-series swap craze has americans making full custom ones now for the EF/EG/EK, and they're not exactly cheap, if you're even wondering.. :P) Wait.. Molex connectors? Are you kidding me? Those connectors are not even vibration proof! They'd loose connection or get shaken loose, if you're thinking of using them. There is a reason why the original harness connectors have tabs and crazy shapes molded into them. They' have to be heat-proof, water-proof and vibration proof! Dunno, I never butchered my own wires to find out. as for higher rating wires and what it affects, read above, second answer. One thing I've learnt about wiring work when I was doing my EE course (fresh out of school that time) is that crimping is a compromise. Soldering and proper insulation is best. Actually I have the stuff like wire looms and stuff.. but chickened out on doing it.. I'll try post some pics, but take time oh!! And the wire loom in the picture was bought from a computer store.. I've since learnt that there is another version sold at jalan pasar for heavy duty equipment, and they're thicker and only available in black. It's the same one that appears in the magazine article I've told you about above. But I'm abandoning the wire tuck project for now due to complexity. Good luck on yours. Edit Photoes will come later.
