Rywire Honda K24 Tucked Engine Harness with 02-04 Crank and Knock Sensors (Front VSS Position)
Discover the Rywire dedicated tucked engine harness engineered for Honda K24 engines featuring 2002-2004 crank and knock sensor configurations in the front vehicle speed sensor (VSS) position. This Version 2 design delivers straightforward integration into K-series swaps, supporting clean firewall routing through the center or to the right side ideal for right-hand-drive (RHD) setups while fitting left-hand-drive (LHD) chassis without compromise. It clears aggressive headers easily, ensuring a tidy engine bay that maintains full electrical functionality for daily driving or track demands.
Crafted with new OEM-style connectors crimped using pneumatic tools for consistent, secure contacts, every circuit undergoes pin-to-pin testing and resistance verification to eliminate voltage drops. Protected shielding covers high-interference lines, and white ID tags simplify plug-in during installs. Paired with Rywire's installation support and troubleshooting, this harness stands as the dependable pick for builders seeking hassle-free K24 performance in swapped vehicles.
