I want to know what gauge wiring specialties uses on their harness because when I ordered a replacement pigtail for my injector it was an 16-18 gauge wire compared to the factory gauge which is like 12-14 gauge

We use 20 gauge on the injector pigtail which is the same as OE.

Placed a order with Yuri at Wiringspecialists a few weeks ago, great guy! He replies to mails every day in just minutes, great support! Really looking forward to get the harness. RB26DETT race harness.

I hope he's able to help me with my Euro S13 as well (Equipped with CA18DET originally, now fitting a SR20DET).

It has been discussed a few times. If more people are going this route for coil replacement then I suspect we will do something with it.

One more for Wiring Specialties, Yuri, and Chris. These guys made me a kick ass harness for a rather unique setup.....I would do business with them again and again.

Got a WS harness in my s13 w/s13 SR. Fits awesome, great quality on connections and solders, and I also dig that it's wired for single cam chassis and dual cam chassis dash plugs, as well as the maf pigtail. Definitely recommend.

Buddy's wife is also running one in her RB20 s13, never had a problem and she's been driving the shit out of it for 3 years

Someone by 2jzgte CheapBays harness so I can switch over to Wiring Specialties!!

Going with chasebays was THE worst mistake I could of done. I emailed them containing the problems with misplaced wires and missing wires. Even sent it to them and every response was basically "It's fine"....I had to go through the harness and re-pin: o2 sensor, IACV, tps (missing a wire to control IACV), no relay to operate the IACV corretly (needs relay to open the IACV when the car is shut off), fuel pump wire was ran to ecu for god knows why...I need to find those emails! lol






Seriously lol

We apologize for the issues you experienced, can you help direct me to your email chain? I would love to research the issues you were having so I can become more familiar with it, I do not recall this scenario from memory.

We have recently vamped up our customer service and we are now available regularly to answer any and all inquiries. We also just launched a new website that was the source of many issues for the user and our company. We are changing the way we stock items and many of our other internal processes to allow the customer to have the best experience imaginable without any hassle. We aren't interested in leaving any customer unhappy, so we guarantee any harness and product we sell. If you are not satisfied, send it back to us and we will refund you. We think customer service should be that simple.

I noticed a comment on the first page when this thread began was spot on - and Yury I'm sure you can also relate. The extremely intensive and technical nature involved in building a custom engine electrical harness from scratch based solely on the options and information provided by a customer is unbelievably complicated. Virtually every chassis and engine has variations in components, and without accurate and detailed information, mistakes can occur. This is precisely why we probe our customers for as much information on a build we can get to ensure we build a perfect harness every time.

However, as you might imagine, even as much as we have tried to simplify the process of ordering a harness, it is impossible and irrational for us to expect our customers to know as much about wiring and variants as we do. So when an issue does arise, we like to jump in immediately and offer as much technical support as is necessary until the issue is resolved.

We love cars as much as you do. Every Chase Bays employee has their own personal build, so we also understand everything our customers feel and experience, and we want every experience regarding our products to leave the most positive impression. Otherwise, everything we work for is meaningless.

Feel free to email us anytime you have a question or concern and we will be happy to assist. We look forward to seeing you out there!

Why do people go for ecu harness in most case ? Is it because they do engine swap on different shell and need custom application ? or it's simply to replace 20yr old harness ?

I've got a 25yr old ecu harness and no sign that signal are not good ( considering its beeing tuned every year and no sign of anything wrong), but I'm doing a full overhaul and wondering if signal can get weaker with times or this is more true with winter-driven car that get corrode wiring due to winter salt and stuff like that ?

Yes, in most cases the ECU harness gets replaced during an engine swap because the original wiring harness would need to be modified anyway. It's often more cost effective to install a brand new harness vs spending time modding the crusty old one.

You really don't need to worry about wiring voltage drops. The wiring would need to be literally a few strands from severed to noticeably affect performance. The conductor will usually outlast the insulation. If you notice cracks or arcing discoloration in the insulation, it's time for repairs. Otherwise you'll be fine. I've never noticed any wiring issues due to winter driving (I haven't seen that many winters, either) but I have seen extreme heat (100+ daily) deteriorate insulation and plastic connectors at an alarming rate.
