With the motor in and the wiring diagrams complete I could start wiring the engine harness. A good crimping tool and a lot of patience is essential for this job. There is a lot of test fit, remove, test fit again, repeat over and over. I started with a bundle of wires from DIYautotune which is intended for use with a Megasquirt but was the best quality wire I could find and it's a cost effective $45 for the 10' bundle. I crimped the in car connectors on and measured for length on my stock harness and this is where I began.
Dropped the loom in the car and began the long tedious process.
Many hours and test fits later and I was nearly done.
And here's the final product(minus finished grounds). I designed the harness so the coils and injectors had sub harnesses so I can remove the harness more easily if I have to take it out of the car or I swap injectors in the future. In hindsight I should've made a sub harness for the transmission but I can get a connector for that and do it in the future. It really is a shame that something so time consuming and beautiful is essentially hidden once its installed.
