That's cool but I would never want to have wires that touched the engine. Cause I'd be afraid to have any wires that will melt cause it's gonna be very hot. I would look something that will not touch the engine. That's just me...As far I can see that you're doing a great job!

The wires are actually inside an insulated tube with about 1/4" thick walls, if you look at the picture of the wires routing under the engine the harness all of a sudden goes from being thick to slim. This is done to both protect from the heat and road debris and that is over a sealed wire loom as well. Furthermore the wires are all TXL ultra high temp automotive wires which are higher rated then the oem factory wires, Always use TXL or GXL wire in the engine bay

I'm actually done modifying the harness on the engine and am about to refuse the engine harness back to the ecu and fuse block

I also got a custom fuel rail, which I'm still machining

it is an OBX fuel rail but its not designed properly so im having to machine it so that it clears the valve cover bolts because it sits closer to the engine

Boy a front corner accident looks like it would really screw up the fuse box. Which would be a nightmare to fix I would think.

Props for the hard work though.
