Hey gang,

Do any of you guys have good soldering skills? I have a little bit i just lack confidence to solder my own stuff..

My vortech ESM is currently crimped into my ECU now but i think a solder would be more solid and prevent any dreaded CEL lights.

So if any of you guys did this before or would like to help me especially those who moded ps3 before by soldering "great skills required!!!"

I would provide any beverages including alcholic or whatnot

regards,

TOm

 

I Can Help. Pm Me

 

For low current connections, like an ECU, good crimping can work just fine. Did you crimp with real crimp connectors (the barrel type, called a "butt splice") and a crimping tool, or are you talking about the snap-closure connectors (called a "tap splice) sold at AutoZone?

If you used a real crimp connection, no need to solder it. Soldering just stiffens the wires and can lead to fatigue failures. All your factory connectors are crimped.

My $0.02.

 

i had to use two type of connection. One is the barrel type that your talking about for 12 wires and t-taps which were also sold at autozone for 3 wires.

 

Maybe this Y Connector could replace the wire taps? These are for 14-16 ga wire. Would need some heat shrink on the junction area.

 

Hey otherhalf i pmed you on friday let me know if were still on for Sunday.

thx ahead of time.
