ok i've extended the harness where the plugs are, but i left about a good amount of space so i can twist and solder the wires together and well i was wondering if that was a good move or not...
1jz harness extention... good or bad???

I'm lost too, if you lengthened it already, why do you need to twist and solder anything else? You mean like so if you install an AFC or SCD or something later on?
nooo.. ok i lengthen it at the end where the plugs are and i was wondering if that was a good move or not? meaning is there any specific type of way your suppose to extend the harness.... because i did it that way....
Tissimo extends it kinda in the middle of where it goes along the firewall. that way the plug for the VSV is still in its stock location
Just don't "twist" the wires in a spiral or anything when packing them up with tape.. It adds more resistance and can hinder performance.
Best thing to do is when extending a harness, get an ohm meter, and check before and after on each extended wire from ecu plug to sensor plug. Its the only way to ensure no electrical problems. Doesn't take much longer to do and is worth its effort in gold.

damn..... well what i did was where the plugs where i cutted the wires and matched it up to its corresponding wire and soldered it.... is that fine too or no.... cuz if not i think ima need another harness.... really need to know... thanks guys

will the ohm meter work even if i dont have it connected to the battery??? bc i still have the engine out... and all...

ok i'll see but that wont be in till a few more weeks tho...just want to make sure it works and all that way...
thanks

NEVER test resistance when there is current flowing through the wire. you'll likely blow a fuse in your meter. best time to test is now, since the harness is out of the car and there is no chance of battery voltage to flow through any wires.
the resistance of each wire should be around 0.1-0.3 ohms. it shouldn't surpass 1.0 ohm. personally, anything over .5 ohm and I'd start to worry.
