wow man, that turned out incredible..

All this... so you can go say hi to a tree... just.. quickly :cool:

That's a big change from the initial setup to this one. Very cool!

Thanks, Still got some things left to work on but it's coming along decently now.

Wow man, looks like you spent a pretty penny. :)

Looks awsome...

Seriously, you couldn't find blue spark plug wires? jk, everything looks amazing. Very clean, nice work!

So my new update for the day is the following:
AEM EMS Series 2
AEM Boost Solenoid (30-2400)
AEM Digital Gauge - Boost Display Gauge 50psi peak (40-4408)
AEM IAT Intake Air Temp Sensor

So I decided to go with the AEM EMS for the VR4 and move the E-mange to the SL. It made money since over all... So soon I plan to make a road trip to 3SX to pickup all my new toys and say hello to the boys up there.

i like it! thats some coin and dedication there, keep up the good work man :)

Looks Awesome! Real nice
Like where you got the power and distribution blocks. How is it all routed? Never realized there was that much room under the fender.

Well it runs from the back in the wire well on the passenger side. Then it comes out the wiring hole on the side behind the rear part of the fender (as pictured.) I cross the top of the wheel well behind the plastic cover and down around the new location of the fuse box (pictured) and finally to the distribution blocks (the blocks also run 0 gauge wires to the alternator as well.) The real trick is extending all the wires to move the fuse box, that's a time consuming project. The other piece I have to still put under the fuse box is the power steering cooler; I have an Earls cooler for that. There is plenty of space even with the ABS (soon to be removed) for the fuse box. Getting the cooler in there will take the last bit of space up; making the bottom of the cooler close to the bottom of the bumper.

I know other people have moved the fuse box inside, but I got enough other stuff inside that I did not want to clutter it up any more. The only bitch part is if I blow a fuse, then it takes a bit of work to get to the box. Really though how often do you blow one of these fuses if you did everything correctly.

is this the car that just put a tdo5 on the front and left the tdo4 on the back? If I am right he got a good bit of flack for it on 3si, glad to see its turned out this nice.


Coop

It is the same; I will say when it was like that it was a blast to drive. I won't get into my work around for it now, but it's do able with a little thought. I never listen to people BS any ways, to each there own :)

and where do you think you're gonna put that spare wheel?!?! ;)

Great job man! Everything looks awesome. What kind of power goals are you shooting for?

Nice job man. Can't wait for some dyno results. Those billet turbos are pure sex.

Awesome build, can't wait to see the dyno sheet.

Nice! I hope you got rid of the cold weld around the BOV flange/threaded pipe. I couldn't tell if it was still there on the last pic.

I might make a rack where the back seats where at to put two tires, time will tell.

That is an older picture; it was welded and had some quick steel on the top to smooth it out (solid but not a pretty weld.) I now have all aluminum piping now with less couplers.

Looking fantastic, good luck getting your numbers :)

Really looking forward to seeing those Billet Evo3 numbers.

I hope to update this evening with some pictures of the engine harness with the cannon plugs installed (as long as I finish it.)

Wow that is gorgeous. Thats dedication, Im a little jealous.

Thanks, ya I have been working on this for a while; would have been done sooner, but been busy working on everyone's cars. I was also hopping to go to NG with our crew, but that has seem to fallen apart; some have a weeding to go too, my graduation party is that week end (even though I walk this weekend), some cars are just being complete A-Holes with problems, and there are two more in the line to be done. Working on 5 cars is a pain when its not your day to day job.

Also, I did not get to finish the wiring yesterday, it is going to take a bit longer then I though LOL

Sweet project! What all did you delete from the harness wiring and accy's?

Active suspension, ABS, Air bad, Active Exhaust, Rear wiper, radio wires (ran new ones going to the amps), seat belt, power chair wires, and some other stuff. The passenger side goes from like 30+ wires down to 4 and the driver side is cut at least in half. I could save some more if I dumped active aero as well.

I have added some wires back for my car pc, audio system, gauges/sensors. I have taken out probably 40-60 pounds worth of stuff, but added back in 10-20 back in. I plan to weigh everything here shortly, but I assume it will be a wash once the role cage is in, which I am ok with.

So how did you remove the wires? Actually pull them from each plug end? Or did you cut them and cap them or something?

I removed all the wiring and pulled from the plugs; the only part that is capped off are a few wires in the engine bay since the motor is all ready in and a few of them would be hard to get too. The main harness to the motor though is cleared of anything I don't need. I am also half way through putting in the cannon plugs, that stuff is not quick for those who may decide to do it.

Some Eye candy for those who are watching the thread.
