Im currious what kind of methods we can think up for protecting our aftermarket wiring projects from heat uderthe hood and around the exuast.

I use 2000 degree pyro sleeves for protecting my 4g power cable but at 20+ dollars per 3ft chunk it is a bit excesive for smaller wires.

so i was thinking about running wires through hoses? or pipes? what kinda suggestion does everyone have?

what kinda hose/tubing would work? my headers burn all my wires, lol. :-(

 

Reroute your wiring.

 

Thats really helpfull productive advice, THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PROTECTING WIRES!

Also... I been looking at using rubberish fuel line hose, Its cheap and suppose to be rated for high heat.

 

Well, the question (title) is "protecting wires from heat". I think what Monkeyman was getting at was, instead of going through costly means of protecting them in their current location, to try and route them differently as to not be affected by the heat.

In terms of what to put them in, there is some higher temp wire loom that can protect to some pretty good temperatures. You could also fab up an aluminum heat shield for the bundle.

In my opinion, if it is more than an inch or two that is going to be affected, a better solution is to move them to where they are not affected. Since this is custom wiring, routing them away from heat is quite easy on initial installation if though of. If this is an after thought, then it can be more complicated...

 

yep! i agree.

 

Re-routing is not the issues, sorry if I was rude in my earlyer post.

These are wires that go across hot places. mostly single wires or pairs used for senders.
