Well I have been away from the car for a few months and figured I could pass some time putting an update together.
When I was home last I worked on the cold side and got it all mocked up. Now it just needs to be welded and have the BOV flange cut in and mounted.
Here is the cold side from the cooler to the front mount T/B.
another angle, all that pipe and only one couple for a joint in the middle. I would love to have made it work without though.
Snaking through
It runs nice and tight to the fan but still clears.
Intercooler is mounted ROCK SOLID. I used little brackets back to back and rivited together for bracing. Came out pretty nice actually
I would actually like to have a same side inlet and outlet cooler to run a shorter length of cold side to the t/b. It would be tight to get the two pipes one on top the other right here though but it could be done.
I pulled the drivers header and ground down the flange to clear the AFR heads. The second bold on the number 5 cylinder is quiet tight, even more so when I switched to 1" header bolts. I figured the easiest way to get that header in and out was to just pull the A/C and powesteering pump completely out. It actually worked in my favor so I could route the other lines away from the header with everything out of the way..
You can see how tight that bolt is
![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
the black cable running down the at the head stud right there in front is the clutch cable. Nice and far away from the rest of the header. It was about the only place to put the damn thing. Otherwise at some point the cable will have to cross around the header and make its way to the tranny. (Maybe I should consider a killer overdrive automatic:shut up voices in my head)
The power steering line is now tucked out of the way but still may need to be covered.
Another angle..........the two black braideds that are running together are the oil filter lines
I installed the main EFI harness to the ECU that I worked on while I was in Afg. I had to make just a few adjustments but all in all it went in like a champ. Luckily I had a few more harness laying around to cut and solder in some longer connectors branching off. I ended up using painless wirring split loom, it works great. Throw in a couple adel (cushion) clamps and everything is nice and secure.
No good pics here though. Parden the steel dust from the dremel cuts
I pulled the dash out once again to redo the Injector harness, I am still not happy with it so I get to buy some more wire and a few more connectors and start over. I hope I can reuse a lot of it, hopefully. I am getting to proficient at pulling the damn dash that is for sure.
