Turbo yoda is actually brilliant. I feel like i owe him money for watching this video
Buy some merch to thank him.
Send a carton of lemon squash (not lemon squash)
Donate to their drag week page!
I think you want to send him a carton of mangoes.
I'm so getting a skid factory keychain thing.
54 minutes of listening to Al. Today, is a good day.
Could not agree more.
hahahaha would have otherwise taken 10 months for Al to use that many words!
Anthony Goulemas true!
You start hearing his voice in your head when working on your car. It would be awesome to work with Al all day.
Mark M you should see a doctor. Hahaha just kidding. Indeed it would be awesome to have the privilage to work with Alan on a project.
it may be easy if you did it 500 times, but also being able to teach on camera and do that at the same time, really shows you are an expert
This video is a gold mine of information. I've been doing a lot of work on my Integra, and have been tossing around the idea of slimming down the harness and tucking it, this just put me over the edge, thanks a bunch! Thanks for sharing all your car knowledge with us over the years.
It's a base model second gen, no airbags, ABS, cruise, or power anything. I've already got the power steering out of it, it was an auto car, that's gone, and I know the manual components are a lot lighter. I had a really similar 92 Integra that was 2490. I'm hoping to get this one around 2400. This one has a little ebay turbo kit on it too, hence why I'm thinking of slimming and tucking the harness, I'm already in there doing wiring.
I shaved the studs for the injector harness box off the fuel rail and have the injectors angled with the plugs and wiring running under the runners and meet up behind the block. All the engine plugs are joining up under the intake manifold at the moment and I'll probably run that loom straight back through the firewall than branch off where they need to go. I've got the fenders off and am just starting to get the passenger side relocated on the inner fender, haven't touched the drivers side yet. I wanna focus on finishing running the engine harness to the ECU and gauges before I finish anything on the body harness. There's a lot you can get rid of in these engine bays haha I love working on these older hondas.
No, a lot of people tell me I need to get IG just for all the random car shit I get up to.
dropinbiking92 Or a YT channel! I'm having a go. Hahaha.
I was talking to The Gunman and he wants me to get posting up more paint booth videos. Sadly I'm not working at a body shop right now, so it's not like I'm painting every day. I wanted to do videos and such working on my car it's just such a pain in the ass. I'm barely motivated enough to be working on it at all hahaha
I spent over 2 years building electrical harnesses in the aerospace/defense industry, and seeing this harness get worked on is giving me horrible flashbacks. Still watched it all though, Mr. Yoda is totally worth it lol
Add entertainment and sports for another 10 years and I'm right there with ya. Hooyah.
An hour, holy crap..... This is gonna be maaddd.
Well, damn. I had no idea that i just sat here for an hour til i read your post. I just clicked the link assuming it to be another 20ish minute video.
Chop chop
THE COVER IS BLAAAAACK
An hour video, 10 hours to complete.
Loom work is an art, and i could watch any savvy person work a loom for hours. Alan is amazing in this. Much respect to the people who have the patience to do these the right way and not make a rat's nest of their looms.
Anyone who has a chance to spend time around you and learn and be educated is a very lucky person, thank you for your knowledge!
Holy shit. This is the wiring holy bible. More amazing comprehensive videos like this please! Seriously, this is awesome!
I am glad it was explained why just using an aftermarket ECU was not done. Makes a ton of sense, seeing how so many laws for that stuff is so different across the globe.
now.. this is the kind of video i can put to use for my own projects.. and an hour long, time to get the popcorn :')
Al did my harness splice a few years ago absolutely flawless... thnx al👍
Once again Al provide actual tested knowledge, instead of the more common occuring
”I think’s” on youtube. Absolutely brilliant !
Thank you and keep it up 👍🏻
I'd pay money just to sit and watch him work ..this man is a simple of a genius as they come
This takes a special form of patience and i'm grateful for those that have it.
Being able to do this type of wiring/troubleshooting is the car worlds equivalent of a brain surgeon. The technical details are often too tedious for most people to have patience for. I have to say *Thank You* to Al for putting this information out to us and taking the time to explain what he is doing along the way. This is the type of skill you cannot learn from a book. All the little details along the way about spacing/length certain connections, tagging and not keeping the looms separate are things you can only learn through experience. This video and all the information Al has given is priceless. Thank you for sharing with us!!
So glad you made this . It will show people just how much work is involved with just the wiring .
It's so awesome that Al gets to show off and teach from his years of experience. I'm keen to see more videos like this!
Thank you Skid Factory crew, Turbo Yoda, and all the rest of you! I needed this video, thank you so damn much!
The skid factory is the best car channel on the web. Love it
What a guru! Absolutely priceless learning from someone who has learnt the best way to do something over years of experience.
when I first saw it, it had been up for 8 minutes and had 127 views, now that I finished watching and refreshed my browser it has 2500 views. Thanks so much Al for sharing your knowledge and skill with us, it is an honor. Thanks Woodie for taking the time to film this and all the other things you do (and you bloody well BETTER sweep when the master tells you to!) to make this video happen! Cheers from Canada!
Thanks Al and Woody for the excellent tutorial. This is what youtube is all about. Al, as ever concise and engaging. As a mechanic (same vintage), I could watch, listen and learn from you fellas all day every day. Thanks again.
This is a great video to convey the amount of work that goes into any wiring job. Thanks for sharing the projects that many people find "boring". I wish I had seen this before I rewired my 1975 Mazda from scratch.
I just binge watched every video on the channel and wow is it good. I have so much confidence working on my old JDM car now I can fix it.
i have been studying wiring fuse boxes and relays boxes, because i have really been wanting to go thru the inside harness, its been 5 years since i swapped a ls1 and now after watching this, there will be no way i can stop myself from de-pinning the fuse and looming the whole thing. you really are giving us great tips.
If that doesn’t deserve a beer I don’t know what else does, thanks to all involved in the making of this video true in-depth detail both in front and from behind the camera. Keep up the great work
This is just an amazing video. I have done some wiring for engine swaps, but we never had to go through the loom like you have demonstrated here. I am building a custom wiring harness for my 65 MGB, and I know I will be watching this video again, just to go over the tips you have presented here. Thanks so much for showing us how to do this correctly, and safely.
Instructions unclear, accelerator now controls windscreen wiper speed.
Hmm... 5000rpm windscreen wipers. Sign me up.
Ahahahahahaha, did you just wire up a Yugo? :P
Oh, hold on, got to downshift my windscreen wipers.
Mark M: Hahahahahahaha
Hahaha, we used to say d*** stuck in toaster.
High quality video guys! Very indepth and informative, which in my opinion is what a lot of channels miss out on to save on time & editing.
This vid is brilliant. Thanks for sharing the depth in this video. My favorite part is when Al is wrapping things up and says that it took him 10 hrs, but based on his beard and hair growth, it looks more like a few weeks. Thumbs up for wire and video splicing!!
Skid Factory thanks for the inspiration! This is the one aspect of Subaru legos I haven't personally done, after decades of multi Impreza ownership. You've unwrapped the mystery with straight forward instruction, and pro tips that can only be learned by doing this 100's of times. I'm going to try it now. OBS Bugeye is getting boosted. Thanks again guys!
Yessssssssss. Video we've been waiting for!! Watching Al building a wire harness is watching a master craftsman at work.
such a good idea for a video. nobody has tackled this properly on youtube yet! sooo good
Thank you guys. This is exactly what I was looking for in terms of wiring. I had an idea but this was a great help and video. You're the best Al.
I enjoy watching videos of Alan work and talk. Methodical and logical. Its great.
He reminds me of my old man
Hi guys, I mentioned previously that I really like what you guys are producing and hope it is economical for you to keep it coming. I'm sure you won't mind reading it again. In my old age I'm critical as to what I watch but go chasing latest report every week. Cheers.
This is why I am glad my 928s have multiple electrical harnesses and subharnesses that connect to them. Best part is the fuel injection harness is completely independent of any other wiring. I could never go through the trouble to do harnesses like the ones shown here. Great video BTW.
how to sploice
Jerky Bois Waifu Reviews Splooooooice mate. Straaaaya mate... Look at moi..
Dude, that's a simply awesome tutorial! Great information and very useful tips! I've been doing wiring in cars for quite a while now, but I haven't got nearly as much experience as you. It was really useful watching this. Keep up the great work! Greetings from Bulgaria!
Amazing. The best in-depth automotive technical video to date. MCM needs to step into this realm. Better than Motortrends current programs by a long shot. THANK YOU!! Keep this exact formula and expand to other swap/automotive project areas.
On behalf of all of us, thanks for taking the time to make this video. As a fellow electrician and a subaru nut I understand the the love or hate relationship haha.
I love these videos. Don't get me wrong, the usual MCM videos are wonderful, but this is the type of stuff that we really don't get to see because it is usually condensed because of time constraints. Turbo Yoda, thank you, for taking the time to do do this. It is truly appreciated.
Awesome episode. Thanks for the tech Al. Took me 3 months off and on to do the harness for my Jeep LS swap.
Hey guys love the video and great information. Time-lapses are awesome for this sort of work and lets people watching see more of the process.
mcmtv2 is Al's channel now... Keep up the awesome vids guys
I have done alot of motorcycle race looms and I'm glad we follow very similar ideas. Glad I've found the channel 😅👌
Great video.
Love the geek out technical info.
Yoda’s experience shows.
I appreciate the video and info; I've done two merges on my Subarus so far and definitely learned along the way. Using reference points for length is a great tip. Thanks!
Awesome video. I did my first efi swap after watching this and I used a lot of the advice. 👌
great job, Al. Very complicated and responsible.
Great episode guy's love ya work keep them coming really enjoy watching your UA-cam channel 😎
Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes.
More of this type of videos please.
Great job lads.
That was super technical and informative! Well done.
This is a awesome video to learn wiring. Very in depth. I like. Turbo Yoda is a smart man!!
Awesome video guys .Top information and great tips . Cant wait for the next episode.
Really like this one! I have wired a few cars and its nice to see a different perspective on it!
solid content, like actually useful, piratical, in depth content. Great.
Great mix of videos dudes, awesome channel!
This is my meditation.. Great work as always.
Having done this before for different cars, I thought I was good at it. I now realize how easy I had it. I could put the wires on the connectors of the car to route everything and get locations... SOOO much easier than measuring all of this.
Woo skid factory! Just before bedtime PST
great work AL KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK..
Always nice to see I do my wiring the same as Turbo Yoda.
Good video, lads. 👍
Cheers for sharing your knowledge bro. Really helps plebs like me who try to build cars!
Lots of awesome info here! Thanks very much guys!!!!! Ps
Love that Datsun sticker in the background
Amazing. Learning so much from you Al.
Very nice video !!!! I enjoy these Harness conversions No matter that Make or Model .. continue making Great videos
having done this for the first time recently i can say with confidence that A. i wish this came out earlier because it would have made things much easier lol and B. alan is an absolute wizard. this kind of job is probably one of the most difficult things you can do in the car world (definitely easier to just make a standalone harness from scratch which i have done more often)
Good information, very much appreciated. Greetings from Romania.
"Don't chuck it in the bin, you don't need any more waste in the world." Wise words!
Excited to see this video!!!
So what I got from this video is... When you pay someone to do this, it's money well spent. :p
Thank you.
Great info and legend Yoda for an hour! 👏👌👌👌👌 thanks guys
This video is about to hit 1 million views by tomorrow !
Right up my ally AL!!! The part some people don't like. Gotta love wiring! :)
Looks like Yodas hair grew by the time that loom got finished geez.
Awesome vid none-the-less.
keep it up guys
Thank you for all the information!! Keep up the good work!
Exactly what i wanted to see from theskidfactory
Not as exciting as an engine swap but I enjoyed it and appreciate the effort you put into making this video. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for making this one guys!
Love this. Thanks for doing it!
Fantastic vid guys. So much info
Thanks chaps, good work as always.
This video is timeless
Sweet guys you r legends... really appreciate your videos, im sure these tips will help me with my barra patrol conversion ✌🤘
If I did that to a car it would never run again! This is a very rare skill nowadays, and you are lucky to be able to find someone with this kind of experience.
I’m pretty good with mechanic type stuff, I’ve torn transmissions apart and put them back together, engines, etc. but this type of stuff wiring harnesses, and connecting two different ones together, that’s just something totally foreign to me, I’m trying to get there one day but this is just so beyond me right now lol thanks for the vid, you are a true expert on this craft sir
Nice work Al
Best Ever video on youtube............
Thank you very much.....
Full hours worth of custom wiring how to's and tips?.....
Cheers Al, absolute champ mate. You too Woody.
I love it when turbo yoda likes to reuse stuff such a good guy
Absolute genius what a guy. Turbo today for the win 🔧
awesome vid!! full of knowledge and advice
WOW, An hour long episode!!!!
Excellent video boys
Mad skills, thanks for sharing!
Great job. Greetings from Poland.
I dont even own a car yet I still found this helpful
ganymedeIV4 I am 23 lol! I get the confusion, but I simply have no use for a car. Well, I dont have much use for my motorbike either but its a lot cheaper to own and run :P
ganymedeIV4 You'd be surprised, if anything the fuel is way less, no parking fees ever, fully insured for 9 bucks a month with 33 bucks per 3 months on road tax.
Does anyone really own a car?
ganymedeIV4 That is because it isnt MY bike technically speaking. Officially speaking its owned by my mother, I ofcourse paid for the thing completely, so It is insured under her who knows how many years with no claim
well youre watching the right videos
