Default New ZPIracing Product*****

We are proud to announce our new Plug and play harness. These are great for the adding of Emanage, AFC-II or a camcon controller.

We have been using these for awhile and did not want to sell them until we got the mass producing of these down. We obviously did not want a turbo kit debacle so we did not offer these for individual sale until now.

These harness are 295 free shipping and can be pre wired with any piggy back that we sell.

Yes!, Thank you, thank you, I wish I had one of these prior to adding my Camcon to the TC.

So this will make the camcon plug and play, no splicing or wiring?

No splicing into the OEM harness. You can splice it into the extension at your leisure while sipping on your favorite beverage at the workbench instead of being all twisted up and digging around under the dash for the right wires, then trying to make solid, reliable connections to those tiny factory ECM wires.

Plus, if you have a problem with your piggyback, you just unplug the harness, reconnect to the ECM, and you're all set to go in for warranty work. If you show up with spliced wires running to the ECM, you might get a LOT of hassle about aftermarket mods and they could claim the wiring harness is at fault and you are to blame so they won't cover it under warranty.

These things would be cheap at twice the price for the headaches they prevent!

What do you think it costs to buy a complete harness for the ECM from Toyco? $295 is a small bet, and if it prevents a warranty claim denial, it could be worth a LOT more.

From which company and for which Honda?

The cheapest PnP we sell is for an OBD1 honda and it's $139 (without extra harnesses)

It's not just competition though it's the supplier. Toyota OEM harnesses cost a pretyt penny no matter what. The only diff you pay is the labor and R&D. There's only so much they can go down, but I assure you that both ZPI and myself pay a lot more than $85 for just the harnesses themselves. We're both not here to screw people over, business wouldn't last if that were the case.

Sorry ZPI, don't mean to jack your thread, just backing both of us up why prices are the way they are. I'm sure you understand.

Toyco uses expensive connectors and pins. Honda uses Sumitomo, Toyco typically uses AMP. They cost a LOT more, and are very difficult to get in small quantities.

Harness extensions for Supras have always been close to $300, even when Fields made them in Japan (and they were not nearly as good as what you can get now).

Try to get the parts to fab one yourself. Then actually do it. $300 is CHEAP.
