When you guys tapped into the other wires, how did u guys do it? I bought a wire tapping kit from autozone, but not sure if this it the way to go. I know i have to solder one wire. I looked this up in the search also, but no one said how they tapped into the other wires. Not an electrician, so need a little help here. Thanks in advance

 

i soldered all mine together much better connexion

 

All the wires need to be soldered

Only one needs to be cut

strip a little of the wire casing back and solder there

 

As Johnny said,

Use your crimpers to use the plastic covering from the wire, then wrap the SRT wire around the ECU wire and solder it together.

I personally don't like tap kits. Can't beat a good old soldering!

Definitely solder it. I believe the instructions "require" you to solder them anyway.

 

Just as the others have posted, solder them all and wrap with quality electrical tape or better yet shrink tubling. patience is key and forming solid connections is critical.

 

Just to further expand since I don't think your first soldering experience should be on your ECU, go get an old walkman, CD player, or even a pair of headphones, cut a wire and practice soldering it back together for experience. After you get comfortable with the gun, then hit your ECU.

 

I agree with practicing and experimenting with the solder. I just installed my SRT this past Saturday. I practiced for a couple of hours Friday stripping and soldering wire. I ran some searches here and found way more info than I needed on the whole installation. Regardless, let me know if you have any questions, I might be able to help.

 

Thanks go out to all u guys, and if i have any problems, i'll yell, real loud

 

read the instructions
then re-read it
do it about 2 more times to make sure

then look at the wires
double check you have the right wires
check it one more time

then solder those $h.!tZ!!! lol but make sure you SOLDER them.. good luck!

 

I'm in Centreville, and the first time I ever soldered anything was the SRT on my GS430. Hit me on the PM if you want any assistance.

 

Soldering is fun, at least to me. People look at me and say "OMGzer you are doing some heavy work! You know a lot about ___________ .

 

Next person to buy an SRT intake does a writeup

 

Well I got my SRT intake last week and plan on doing the install this weekend with the help of JeffTsai. I had planned on taking a bunch of pictures and doing a step by step DIY on the install. Hopefully I can make it very detailed with a bunch of pictures.
