This was great, had no idea what this process entailed but this was insightful. Would be great to see more other aspects of the motor industry like this
I work for ECUmaster U.K. and Matt honestly makes some absolutely lovely looms, they are well worth the money and he’s quite clued up on the technical side of the Engine management too. If you want the real deal, this guy is the stuff!
I was LITERALLY just teaching a student of mine electronics a few days ago and I used the exact same water analogy to help him understand voltage and current.
Very nice work. Where do you source your components? I haven't found a suitable place yet. Automotive wiring is only intimidating as you let it be. Take care, and never stop learning.
It should be more widely known that you can learn literally all of this wonderfully at high performance academy. Like no disrespect because I did the same thing but I'm pretty sure this guy just took their classes and actually spent the time and effort to learn and understand the material because this is textbook. It would be also neat to show the massive amount of documentation that goes into making a harness like this.
@@ryancawley3235 Actually he's nothing of the sort. As I said he's a technician performing tasks that he's been taught to perform. His boss at Level Motorsport Wiring will decide how much he gets paid, in line with the technician market.

Does anybody know where to find the mini guillotine that can be seen at 6:50. I can't make out the name. Looks like a very nice tool. Would love one for my workshop.
Its depressing no one makes a transparent outer wrap to showcase the beautifully twisted colored wires inside this harness. Liken to putting a black tarp over a Monet painting.
I Wish I Could Give Him much more Like ❤️As i can in UA-cam like button ❤️ ..... He's an complete Artist and his passion dedication and With Such Patience he Does all Work Is Fantabulous ❤️ Love From India 🇮🇳🙏🏻
While I can see myself making these high end wiring runs and harnesses I can also see this being a job that I couldn't do every day....simply not enough alcohol on the planet to sooth my nerves.
From the first 20 seconds you can tell that he's probably not an expert. "Water flows from point A to point B, kind of like voltage does". That doesn't sound correct to me? Correct me if I'm wrong
It’s just a simple analogy to explain to someone that doesn’t know anything about electronics, easier way to think of how a circuit works is to visualise how the current flows through a circuit by replacing current with water. Just misspoke using voltage instead of current.
Great video! But I just have to point out how in the first few seconds it's obvious this bloke hasn't much formal electronic education.. votlage doesn't travel, like water does - great analogy but wrong comparison. Electrons flow, and flow of electrons is current. Voltage is the difference in potential between two points - so a more appropriate metaphor would be the edge of a cliff or something altitude related even. Sorry, the nerd in me just had to leave this out there! Education is very important..
I'm sure if doesn't know the difference between voltage and current. Then he wouldn't be doing wiring for a car. I thought it was weird that he said voltage flows like water too but it's just for entertainment purpose. Not a educational one.
I’ve heard that amperage is like the size of a water pipe, and voltage is like the pressure of water in that pipe. Obviously it’s not a perfect analogy, but it does seem to be a pretty functional way to think of it. I think that is what he was talking about.
@Thor Odin son motorsport harnesses have a few advantages over OEM wiring. The sheathing makes it much tougher and can handle more abrasion that an OEM wire. The connectors are generally made to be connected and disconnected many many times without loss of sealing, connection quality and since they have knurled barrels, it can be done with greasy hands easily and reliably. Additionally the connectors are generally placed in a more convenient location for service instead of lower cost. Yes it is marginally better than the OEM in objective measurements, but much of motorsport is about winning ng in the margins. The ability to swap a component and it's associated loom in seconds may win you the race.

Stunning, absolute work of art.
Thanks for coming guys, was a pleasure to work with you on this! 🙌🏻
This is craftsmanship at the God-tier level. Absolute top-notch artistry on display here.
Love the way you are branching out of the normal motorsport video.
Kudos
Functional art at it's finest. Amazing attention to detail. I want this in my car!!

Beautiful! I could watch this all day!

love it! Matt is a true craftsman! Take notes kids, this is how a proper harness is made. Lots of planning, patience and attention to detail.
I just love to see people working that are actually great at what they do, it´s becoming a disturbingly rare sight from my personal experience...
this show is great content! thanks for producing it! this kind of content is great!
Wow. A man who settles for perfection. Great job 👍
Absolutely fascinating. Amazing work.
I manufacture/repair cables similar to these for the military, I'm a technician but this guy is an artist! Such impressive attention to detail.
I was LITERALLY just teaching a student of mine electronics a few days ago and I used the exact same water analogy to help him understand voltage and current.
Really enjoyed that. A work of art that you normally don't get to see.
Amazing job. Very interesting video.
So satisfying looking at these works of the art process
Loved his craftsmanship........Great video Top Gear !!
brilliant Elise-Exige are superbe!
Very nice work. Where do you source your components? I haven't found a suitable place yet. Automotive wiring is only intimidating as you let it be. Take care, and never stop learning.
Check Rob Dahm's video.
That was pretty cool
amazing OCD level to the max! I want that in my lotus
Nice
Amazing work. Beautifully put together video. Thank You!

Wow, give that man a pay rise.
He's a technician performing a regular technician's task. He will be getting paid regular technician's rates.
@@procatprocat9647 He's a small business owner working his ass off to make a decent living. He gets to decide what he gets paid 😉

Good to know I'm not the only one with ocd on wiring
Good job.
This videos are top notch keep them up
Loved it....brilliant piece of work
Nice Lotus

Nice one Mr Level
simple & beautiful ！！
I love it
Might not be the fastest or most expensive but her curves says it all. Hennessey Venom is my favorite.
Fascinating....far more interesting than watching two average geezers wash a Tank....
Its depressing no one makes a transparent outer wrap to showcase the beautifully twisted colored wires inside this harness. Liken to putting a black tarp over a Monet painting.
I did this once as an experiment, the transparent heat shrink can be quite rigid but it did look cool! Wouldn’t do it again though. :)
Im interested in his brz build too

Good luck 👍
are all car wirings this complicated? or is it particular to this car?
mmmesmerising...
DAMN

Скажите пожалуйста что за трек играет в конце и в начале, благодарю, Благословения 🙌🙏🇺🇦
Nice! - Lotus seems to improve production quality lately…
What is going on with that engine? That valve cover is not a normal 2zz valve cover. I'm guessing the transmission is a setrab...
Not sure about the filler wire. I'd prefer a lightweight wiring loom rather than a smooth one.
I think this guy misplaced the letter "T" somewhere. Don' you hink so, Op Gear?
miss the old videos 😭
I would rather see that Lotus racing
Doesn't filler tape add extra unnecessary weight?
so jealous....

He was nervous 😓 😬 😅 😳 😫 💀 😓 😬 😅
I think that’s not an explanation of electricity but more the wire itself has to make the physical trip from point A to point B
Massive over Simplification but it's a video about wiring not a science lesson
I agree with you all. The thing that I noticed was indeed that he used voltage instead of current 😉
Moisturise those hands.
War'a

must be why he built a waterproof harness to stop the water from getting out :)
