project 400 wheel hp DA

ASSISTANCE Forced Induction
1

where to start, i bought my car about 3 years ago, stock for the past 2 then the last year i started saving for a custom turbo kit took me a year to get all the right parts when i go get the car tuned n the 2nd run the turbo blew piece of metal went every were in the engine here is a pic of the turbo so now im build ls vtec 400 wheel hp goal but i want to re wire everything get things i dont need out , hide the brake lines basically have the engine just floating on their

engines is out


about half the wiring


talking all the ac wires out
all the work i did today 12/27/05 all the extra wiring

2

i think you just made a mistake removing all the AC wiring.

3

y is that

4

are you sure none of the wiring is needed?
its just a big as mess. good luck, i guess.

5

good luck with the project, but cuttin wire like that is something i would never do… just re route them or put some braided hose over them

i havent posted in a while i just started to work on the car again here are some updates
im trying to do a quick disconnect harness. im hiding all the wiring under the fender for the headlights. i simply went to the junk yard and started cutting connectors off so i can do a quick disconnect. this is very time consuming! here some pics

here are the connectors i got from the junk yard

the wiring

left heaf light harness

left and right headlight harness

1 day of work with the main harness

this is how the originial harness looks like

the trash so far from the main harness

Ha-ha!
So a complete tear down build, caged stripped to hell and race ready?

i did similar on my 00 teg for wiring. i got a 99 gsr wiring harness(floor, doors, and dash) and removed all of the wiring for abs, cruise, air bags, and sunroof. i also regrouped the wires so that i could make a custom engine harness, relocate my ecu, and run bulkhead connectors for the headlight, horn and fan wiring. similar to your headlight harnesses but they look like plastic mil-spec connectors. good luck with the build, can’t wait to see more pix.

LOL, you have way too much time on your hands!

Good work though :slight_smile:

10

hey if you need to start over i got all the wires from the headlights to the taillights back if you need it. i mean everything inside the dash out

11

no way i never had time im always at work, the 2 days i have off i dont feel like doing anything, i work 10 hours a day. i just need to get this car running, been sitting for like 4 months, i just got eagle rods, arp bolt head studs for ls/vtec today i did some more wiring work, my good time consuming! but almost done 2 days into the main wiring but comming out clean next on the to do list are the brake lines run them in back of the firewall. i wont have time to work on the car again till another week on my day off

here some pic of the progress i did today

alot better than yesterday

almost there

12

Well, I would say “almost there” if your rods are still in the box! Repeat when motor is in the car w/ completed harnesses! BTW, nice comeback from that harness-horror!

13

sick

14

Just did the same thing minus the brake line relocation/dash removal in my teg. Just have to connect the wires on the passenger side fender rail and Im all done. I dont reccommend it to the faint of heart, it is quite a project. I love the look of a gutted/tucked bay, good luck with everything man!!!

15

16
