Swifty's never-ending project thread!

Thanks buddy..I hope all my issues will be fixed this year, and it will go good too!

[scheides]

yea, but higher boost will raise crankcase pressure..look what happened to the RX7.

What RX7? What happened to it?

[Swifty1638]

MAP's fdsm. When we where in ohio, they kept blowing oil out the filter like no other..crankcase pressure was going way high. So, they did that new setup with 4 -10 lines.

Usually you want -10 lines and 2 to 6 of them when making some power. Not that I have/had anything like that. The high HP Honda guys have to do some pretty crazt catch can setups. We just let our dipsticks blow out to relieve pressure. :)

yep. i saw dustin's honda..wow.

I got their setup and new lines cuz the price was right..i don't think i'll be needing -10 yet, but we will see how tuning goes.

More pics. Upper pipe is done, and made. Got the 90 TPS to mod for the q45 tb (thanks Mark!) lower ic pipe is mocked and getting welded up, fuse box is relocated to the inner fender, and wiring has begun. Tomorrow, we are tackling the firewall and those wires. I'm still looking at maybe filling in unused holes, and spraying black again to make it look a bit better..

As the title states, we found more shit wrong..something rather major actually. Turns out the revving issue I had, COULD be very well attributed to a BAD GROUND-more-so, one that was NEVER BOLTED DOWN!! I dunno if it was whom I baught the car from, or when I had it apart before( I forget ever even seeing this tab) but this is what it looked like :

In the spare harness we used, and cut it out (relocating the MSD to the inside, and etc) this shows what all that ground is for, amongst other things:

Now that that issue has been sorted out, it will FOR SURE be grounded now. The upper and lower pipes are done, BOV and AIT is on, TB is modified for the 90 dsm TPS (thanks Mark for the sensor!) injectors are in (thanks Andrew!) timing belt is done, FJO is moved over to the back far corner, intake on for mock up, and figuring out vac lines, etc.

Progress pics as of now..

Done for the week. I have a Sparco seat sitting in my bedroom, while the passenger side compartment is torn apart to mount/move hte MSD box, work on more grounds/wiring for the AEM. Still to do:
AEM grounds
MSD finish relocation/wiring
FJO wiring
Wire wideband O2 to AEM for monitoring/tuning
Finish other assorted wiring
install JMF intake/piping permenantly now that mock up is done (get t-bolt clamps
Mock/make air intake pipe/get filter
Degree cams
Reinstall VC and COP setup
Install the catch can/breather lines
Install QTP 3" cutout/wiring
Swap out gases
Change AEM tables
Start?


That's roughly it! BIG THANKS to John (pushurshitin2.0) for helping me out with wiring. I HATE doing that crap, but he makes it look easy!

That's all for now folks!

Grounding things is good.

Whenever I see that picture it makes me think of Transformers...anyways, the car does look A LOT cleaner with all the wiring gone.
