    I don’t think they make them yet. I will check but to be honest my next swap is for sure going to be a j series with a 6 speed

    Double post special: got some pics of the interior back together. Since the f20b is mad Jdm son, the harness is on the other side of the car and barely reaches on the passenger side so drivers side it was. Managed to get everything clear of the pedals and put the ecu where I can get to it easily...

    I think the biggest thing with wiring is patience and having no fear. The first time I took my wiring harness out for my h23 I’ll admit I was a little afraid. Looking at the jumble of wires and saying damn, how am I going to know which is which. Then I was like well the cars not running anyway...

    Update: everything is wired up shrink tubed and or crimped. Hesitation issue still remains. Although it’s cleared up a lot, everything else seems to be working fine. Putting the interior back together as we speak. Harness and wires are zip tied out of the way. Ecu now rests under the radio. I’ll...

    Hesitation issue

    Ok so most of you guys know I’m heading to Florida in a week. It’s a thousand mile drive and I can’t figure out what’s going on with the car. So for anyone who doesn’t know it’s a cg6 with an f20b and a chipped p28 with iacv disabled. Recently it started hesitating at about 1500 to 2000 rpm. I...

    Wiring is really annoying inside the car. Outside on the bench it’s fine but when it comes time to start the car that’s when the real problems start. This one is much better than the old one but it’s slowly turning into the old harness because a lot of these pins don’t make sense since the f20b...

    Update: finally finished the wiring harness. It looks so much better then the previous one. I’ll post pics of the old harness so people can see the difference. The old harness had a lot of paper clips where pins should have been, duct taped wires and other things. I decided to do this one...

    Engine bay tucking and re-organizing

    That’s actually hella clever. I’d buy one if I ever decided to go boost lol. Maybe when I have a spare motor I can look into that. Sounds like it would be good for na applications as well. Kind of like a substitute O2 sensor

    Engine bay tucking and re-organizing

    The stuff I was using was 2:1. I’m not too informed as far as ratios go but this stuff seemed to work ok. I had no idea you could buy this stuff in a roll >_>. I’m guessing I need to go to Lowe’s for that. I went to wal mart last night to pick up the wires because it was Sunday. Turns out I used...

    Engine bay tucking and re-organizing

    Thanks lol. I’ve got to say I really like the resilience. My daily used to include some “high end” knives but I’ve broken them all and this one has held up better than the ones that costs serious cash. I’ve had one of those mantis knives which broke in half, a sebenza which I lost, and my last...

    Engine bay tucking and re-organizing

    I never told the op to use tape. I merely stated what I did in reorganizing my engine bay and what my thoughts were. I got the result I wanted but whether teh op follows what I did or does it properly is on him. With that being said I always planned on making a new harness. After reading ryans...

    Engine bay tucking and re-organizing

    I’ve never had the wires come apart from tugging on them. Ive gotten mad a few times and tried to pull them apart and they wouldn’t come apart so I had to wrap each wire around a fist and ripped them apart which usually ended up leaving the connection in the middle and frayed wires on each end...

    Engine bay tucking and re-organizing

    Well I still don’t understand how twisting them together leads to poor connections and melted tape. For the lulz and I’ll probably get hate for this since my wiring is the Caitlin Jenner on this site, I used duct tape because A I don’t have some weird ambient heat under the dashboard, B I’ve...

    Engine bay tucking and re-organizing

    Again, wiring had nothing to do with what happened so I don’t understand the argument here or why you had to say something in the first place. I also don’t understand how using tape which is designed for wires and splicing them is any less effective than shrink tubing. Why solder them and shrink...

    $6-7 dollars. What are you going to do with all that money son. Must be nice :lawl: that’s like a few packs of gum to get you ready for the headache of a swap. My first h23 swap gave me cancer. I’m not even sure there’s a medical term for what the f20b swap gave me lol

    Engine bay tucking and re-organizing

    The issue was the slave cylinder and then the master cylinder, wiring had nothing to do with it. Maybe before bashing my wiring you actually take the time to read what I post instead of looking at pictures and making assumptions.

    Engine bay tucking and re-organizing

    Nope, just tape lol. I haven’t had any issues with loose wires or resistance issues so far. Only issues I’ve had are from the pins in the harness. Really need to make another one.

    Engine bay tucking and re-organizing

    Haha no one sees it one it’s in the car anyways so I’m never worried about looks lol. I can wire literally anything on the car and since pretty much everything is out of sight anyways I never try to make it look factory. Otherwise everything would be in looms covered in electrical tape.

    Yea if you’re using stock piping you’ll be fine but if you decide to do a full exhaust and use like 2.5 inch to 3 inch piping a resonator is a must.

    It’s nice to get insight on someone who’s walked down the road and is so open to give advice like this. It will help a lot of people for sure including myself. I wanted to open my own shop, performing swaps for people etc. I think this post kind of pushed me closer to doing that. Or at least...

    Engine bay tucking and re-organizing

    Reliability is for suckers lol. Having an adventure going to wal mart for groceries is where it’s at son. That being said I never had any issues with wires as long as they’re taped well enough and you pay attention to the pins. I made a conversion harness for my f20b and that thing has more...

    Engine bay tucking and re-organizing

    I relocated the battery to the trunk. I didn’t like seeing it in the engine bay lol. Like you I just wanted an engine. Plus if I need a jump people can pull up behind me which is awesome, especially on the highway or something lol. It took about three days to do all that wiring but since the car...

    He could get away without a rebuild for a little lol. Given the miles I think a minimal amount of boost might not be great for a high mileage motor. Rebuild would really kind of add that extra bit of insurance but at the end of the day I don’t know how his motor is on the inside. He could do...

    Engine bay tucking and re-organizing

    Don’t cut the factory loom unless you’re absolutely sure you’re wiring skills are solid. A proper wire tuck needs the wiring re routed in the fenders and behind the intake. If you’re wiring isn’t 100% and your car won’t start you’ll Sh1t bricks lol. I’ll give you an idea of what’s involved in...
