Only AMATEURS Overlook This | Motorsport Wiring Planning 3 of 5 [WIRING]

Do you document your wiring projects? It's not as complicated as you might think.

Wiring documentation is often overlooked, but it is as important as the physical work we undertake on our wiring harnesses. From the immediate benefits of being organised and less likely to overlook anything in your project to the future use for any troubleshooting component issues or damage, it is worth your time.

In this lesson, we will look at a basic documentation process using simple drawings and a spreadsheet. While there are many software packages out there used for this ranging from free to. cheap subscriptions up to thousands of dollars a year, we believe in keeping it simple for our one-off custom harness documentation and highly recommend you do the same first time around for simplicity. Note, the likes of Google Sheets is free.

We're using a V8 engine swap project for this example, running a MoTeC M170 ECU, which is just 1 of over 40 modules in the Professional Practical Harness Construction Course offered by the High Performance Academy.

In lesson 4, we're going to take a look at concentric twisting to help you decide if it is something you want to do on your own project and where to start if that's the case.
