Ao1FTW Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 Do you absolutely need heat shrink tubing when doing the big 3? If its highly recommended on using it I will purchase some. Thanks, Justin 2012 Civic Si Coupe - Nada lol Youtube
alphasig293 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 Are you talking about around the end terminals? If so, I didn't use any on mine but I did tape it up good after I had connected them using my vise.

Ao1FTW Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Posted January 2, 2010 Well I was told you should put heat shrink tubing on the whole wire because it would be near high heat, but I didnt know if it would really matter. Thanks Justin 2012 Civic Si Coupe - Nada lol Youtube

It's used on the ring treminals where the cable goes in. My Feedback Thread http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/103868-official-rmzsuzuki89-feedback-thread/page__pid__1441542#entry1441542

If you route your wiring properly, there is no need for this; however, there are some high temp resistant techflex oprtions out there that you can use if you are one who likes to "over-do" things.... then again, there are some really nice looking options out there too that frinds have used on all wire looms and such to make their engine bays looks nice, tidy, and uniform.... EDIT: w00t for post #69
joni13 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 ya if your worried about your wire melting just make sure u tac it by cooler engine components and get wire that can stand high heat RIP The 03 prix!
