Congrats on finishing the wiring! You've inspired me to start working on my own project car, and figure out not only how but why things work the way they do, thanks man!
Noiiiice. And couldn't agree more with the ending. Understanding how everything works together seems to be fading away. Clout or InstaFame is more important I guess than understanding what your doing, why you're doing it, the pros and cons to it, and most importantly, why it's important to buy quality parts.
This video was amazing. If you ever do a more in depth video on how to wire your own car that would be great. Like showing more specifics on how you did it, maybe a step by step on a few circuits. But thank you for this I aspire to do the exact same on my Eg hatch. Thank you.
This video saved me so much time. I had no idea about the fuse box and switch box options. I was gonna buy the engine harness and fluff around doing the rest myself but just baught everything you have used here. Rywire need to give you a commission 😅 thankyou 🙏
Just found you channel been enjoying some of your older content. I have also just stated working assembling my eg coupe project. We just finished all the jams in paint. But it's a bear shell on dolly's. I have tons of parts I been collecting for years can't wait to get to putting it back together. Looking forward to learning a few things from your experiences to maybe use in my car.
That’s awesome and I’m excited for you! Please do reach out if you ever have any questions! Best place to do that would be IG. Keep that fire alive and get that car done! Thanks for watching!
Super clean setup I’m on the same process with mine I just don’t have the knowledge to do exactly what you just did 😂🤣 🤦🏻♂️ I also have rywire harness and I need to buy injectors and the rest of what you used 🤷🏼♂️ i would pay you to do mine 😂 if you were in Florida, excellent work 👏🏼
Rywire did a great job with simplifying the wiring. It can be a bit confusing at first because there really aren’t any “directions”, but a basic understanding of wiring schematics will go a long way! Appreciate the kind words man!
Hey sir, I'm currently doing a custom switch pannel myself, with a custom fuse box, could you please tell me how you got the ecu to power on, without the oem fusebox, (like what pins you used to be able to turn the ecu on) it would help alot I've looked for weeks and no answer.
The switch panel has a 4 wire connector that’s pre-built into it. The mating connector is left un-built so that you can wire in whatever accessories you need.
This is complete bare bones wiring specific for track use only. If you still daily or use your car on the streets often, then I don’t really recommend doing this.
Hey Brother, been following your build, great work. Keep it going. I’m definitely looking at imitating your wiring setup. I do have one question: why run a 2nd circuit breaker going to the distributor? And what is the AMP on that unit? Thanks and best
Hey man. Excellent videos. I just attempted this exact same setup on my EJ1 (with much help from your video). I apparently have a wire crossed. Where does the alternator kill switch wire go out to? You have it starting at the "IN" post on the kill switch ... going to the FRONT circuit breaker (mounted on the passenger front interior near your junction post.... but then to what? Where does that wire go? I have something backwards. My battery is not charging... Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
@@bvspeed Do you "stack" the new connector (from the killswitch) on top of the white wire on the alternator bolt post? I was "replacing it" with the new wire from the switch...
Well it depends on how close you mirrored my setup. Did you remove the fuse box entirely like I did? I assume you’re still running the stock fuse box in the engine bay if you still have the thick white wire at the alternator. I no longer have the stock fuse box and that’s why I have that circuit breaker between the kill switch and the alternator. That thick white wire is no longer there and is REPLACED by the new wire from the kill switch>circuit breaker>alternator. Hope that makes sense!
I ordered a rywire obd2 harness for a f20b for my ef ,I thought it would all be plug and play for my car if I used original f20b distributor injectors etc ,hope I didn’t order the wrong thing $$$☠️
The setup from Rywire is designed to only run the engine. I believe everything on the shock towers is ran through the chassis connector on the engine harness.
The passenger side is mostly engine harness. The driver side will consist of a mix of engine harness (common ground), power steering and other accessories. I believe parts of the starting/ignition circuits are also on the driver side.

Heck yeah, man! It’s something that’s always on my mind. Too many people want that instant gratification and could care less about the process.

Thank you! I’ll definitely be doing some electrical related videos in the future!
This is the video I needed. I have the exact same rywire kit and haven’t installed it yet. Thank you!
Feel free to DM me on IG if you have any questions!

That’s great to hear! Yes, this setup saves so much time!
Whats supposed to connect to that green plug on the vtec solenoid? I plugged everything in but theirs none for that plug?
It’s for the VTEC oil pressure switch. You don’t actually need it to operate VTEC.
Great job on the wiring work & nice words of wisdom at the end bro, nail on head. Hope these type of videos encourage others 🙏🏽
Thank you 🙏🏼
Congratulations 🎉
Thank you!
Lmao I hear some Toby Love playing in the background 😎💪🏼
😆 haha, I like all kinds of music!

Good stuff bro!! Such a simple and clean build I dig it keep it up! I didn’t know you were a bachata type of guy 😂
Eyy man I fux with it lol
I’m assuming you didn’t run a wire for turn signals? Love this walk through!
That’s correct. I don’t have working turn signals.
Great video helped a lot thanks, keep up the good work
Thank you, glad I could help!

I’m using the rywire switch panel which has all that wiring to the ECU to power it up. For ECU schematics, check out

How did you wire up the fuel pump and light up to the 4 pin deutch connector
The switch panel has a 4 wire connector that’s pre-built into it. The mating connector is left un-built so that you can wire in whatever accessories you need.
Yeah I know but did you splice the smaller wires on to a 10 gauge wire?
Where did you get the bracket from? For the accelerator cable on the intake manifold
Amazon of all places, lol
What did you do for the vtec oil pressure sensor? Did you bypass it? If so how?
You can choose to bypass it within the S Manager software.
Awesome video series I’ve been following and I don’t even own an eg 😂 I have a mr2 spyder any chance of doing a car review on branden’s spyder ?
Thank you! Haha maybe one of these days I’ll do a non-Honda build with Honda power plants.
the 2 ground wires that came with the harness where do they go?
DM me on IG with photos. There should be one for the normal thermostat housing, but I’m not sure about the second one you’re talking about.
Is this all I need to do a whole wire tuck? Please let me know my gsr rays are through all my wires and car won’t start ty
This is complete bare bones wiring specific for track use only. If you still daily or use your car on the streets often, then I don’t really recommend doing this.
Hey how exactly did you wire the headlight and tail lights I have this and don’t know how to go with it
I wired one of the auxiliary power wires from the Rywire switch panel to the existing exterior lighting.
Hey Brother, been following your build, great work. Keep it going. I’m definitely looking at imitating your wiring setup.
I do have one question: why run a 2nd circuit breaker going to the distributor? And what is the AMP on that unit?
Thanks and best
Thanks for the support brother! The second circuit breaker is for the alternator, not the distributor. It’s an 80A breaker.
@@bvspeed oops…meant to say Alternator. Thanks

From there the cable goes to the battery + on the alternator itself.
@@bvspeed The white thick wire on top of the alternator? under the rubber bulb/boot? That's where i had it...the battery is dying. argh.
@@bvspeed Do you "stack" the new connector (from the killswitch) on top of the white wire on the alternator bolt post? I was "replacing it" with the new wire from the switch...
By the way...thank you for replying a year after your video posted! Didn't expect anything...haha

Why didn’t u just keep it obd 2 rywire? Would of been plug and play ,or am I missing something
I just wanted everything back to OBD1 rather than having a mix of components.
I ordered a rywire obd2 harness for a f20b for my ef ,I thought it would all be plug and play for my car if I used original f20b distributor injectors etc ,hope I didn’t order the wrong thing $$$☠️
@@arcadeatticdid you end up needing a jumper harness for ecu?
What about the shock tower wire on both sides of the chassis does the harness use those ?
The setup from Rywire is designed to only run the engine. I believe everything on the shock towers is ran through the chassis connector on the engine harness.
bvspeed what does the shock tower wires connect to ? What’s their purpose really
The passenger side is mostly engine harness. The driver side will consist of a mix of engine harness (common ground), power steering and other accessories. I believe parts of the starting/ignition circuits are also on the driver side.
Nice!
Thank you!
