Easiest way to braid wires that I have found is to secure one end in a Vice and tape the other end to a drill, then its a simple as squeezing the trigger. It'll save your thumbs. I remember helping out with the wiring on a M&W ignition and using my Thumbs at the beginning really munged Buttox.
Good Stuff build wise man, massive undertaking. Hope it meets your expectations. Quote:

Just about got all of the relays and fuses done. Just need to hook up a few more wires, and then the rear of the car is all set. Once I'm sure its good then I can put the dash back in.
This panel fits in the passenger side rear bin. I'm not sure if I'm going to put the battery in the drivers bin or in the trunk yet. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1201.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1203.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1202.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1204.jpg One question on the fuse box for the experts out there. Should the buss for the Ground be hooked to the battery negative terminal, or should I go to the chassis ground? |
A few small updates. Just about done with the engine harness:
Completely sealed: http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1209.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1208.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1210.jpg Raychem boots: http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1207.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1205.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1206.jpg I'm waiting on some new injector clips, then I can finish it up. |
Getting closer, I need to get a few more clips and then pop them on. Everything is all cut to length now, pretty much done.
Notice how everything is labeled, and on the parts that already have the clip installed, they are completely sealed, you can't see any of the wire sticking out of the back of the clip/connector. I also doubled up with some heavy duty adhesive lined heat shrink on the raychem boots. I couldn't tell if they were really sealing, but with the extra adhesive heat shrink over the ends, you can see out the adhesive has seeped out, its sealed for sure now. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1215.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1216.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1217.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1218.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1219.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1220.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1225.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1224.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1223.jpg This connector is for 4 extra injectors. It will remain capped off until i need them. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...g/IMG_1221.jpg |
Damn. You should make one for me too lol. That is just sexy, and I HATE wiring.

Killer job on the harness.... looks BADASS.... and I know your pain all to well with respect to ordering those Raychem boots..... but damn they do look good don't they ;)

Apologies in advance for the quality of the pics, I really need a new camera, and decent lighting would help too haha.

What are those new calipers? Was that a custom job to make them wider for a larger disk? 32mm wide rotor? What Pads do you plan on running? Is that lettering a sticker or painted on? Looks like a cool setup. Any plans for the rear?
FYI. I had borrowed your idea of printing wiring labels on paper and using it under clear heat shrink. I used adhesive heat shrink for the wire connections, but not on the clear label heat shrink... Mistake. Oil leaked on one of the label areas and it got under the heat shrink and the paper sucked it right up. Rookie mistake. It looks like you did use the adhesive stuff for yours? |
Calipers are Outlaw calipers, an upgraded version of the ones offered with the older Pettit BBK. The rotor is 1.25" thick, and a hair under 13" diameter. It's the absolute biggest that the caliper would allow.
The caliper was sent back to Outlaw and they enlarged one of the piston bores, so now they are slightly offset, helping to even out the brake pressure and pad ware. To do the lettering I painted the calipers black, put stickers on, painted them blue, and then peeled the stickers off. I should have wet sanded them down a bit, as now there is a bit of a lip between the black base coat and the 3 coats of blue. The wiring labels were on plastic, adhesive backed labeling. I haven't had any problems yet, but then again i haven't driven my car haha. |
Nicest wiring I've seen.

Any updates?

Not really, just sent the ecu to electromotive to see if it's working correctly. Car is not getting fuel, but all wires are testing out to the right pins. Once I hear back from them I'll know what to do next.
