Swifty's never-ending project thread!

[Pushit2.0]

The #3 engine bay ground is an important thing to have hooked up. This is a ground for the CAS, Coils, Transistor, and another ECU ground.

Goddamn I love wire tucks.

Swifty I'm so glad I made you make this thread; its almost like it's given you motivation to get you shit in gear and get this thing rockin! Good deal that you found that extra ground, hopefully that helps with some of the issues you'd been having. My only complaint is the QTP cutout; I hate those things, maybe you will to after owning one for a while? We'll see :)

Actually another one too: how do you keep moisture/condensation out of that upside down fuse box in the fender? Does it get sealed up at all or just x fingers and hope it doesn't break?

[Swifty1638]

the QTP is not on the car yet, still gotta figure that schtuff out. There isn't much room that it will fit well, and have ground clearance. I won't drive everywhere with it off, but I am gonna test how it effects spool-up. If it's not a HUGE difference I may just take it off and sell it. Afterall, this is still a street car, so I have my ipod, heat, wipers, etc.

Fuse box is getting a metal plate that will seal off the bottom (now top) part of it. it will also have the stock lid covering things on the bottom. There shouldn't be too much moisture in there, as I don't think i'd be driving it on rainy days, but then again, we all can get caught out in this MN weather.

I still need to find a filter, and we can get crackin on a 4" upper intake setup. Then, swap gas, and tune dis bish! Donations to get THAT done before dyno day are gladly accepted ;)

Ok, just don't set it up so water can run in there and pool and just sit on open wires/fuses. I hope you saw what happened to my evo, and that's in a stock location :(

[Swifty1638]

Yea, i was the one saying i'd crimp those for ya? lol The metal cover should fit firther around the fuse box, and then John is gonna figure out how to hold it in place.

Later this week, I may start to tackle the driver's side wiring, and move the ALT relocate wires, wideband and etc through the inner fender, and have it come out where that little rubber grommet is for the stock ac stuff.

I didn't noticed you moved the fuse box. Did you put it in the stock sidemount location? That's where mine is and it's upside down. All I did was wrap the bottom (now top) with electrical tape. I should probably make a plate for it like you.

[Swifty1638]

yea pretty much stock side mount location. then ran new wires and made new grounds for stuff too. i may tackle some more wiring tpnight but we will see.

Looking good Swifty!

[Swifty1638]

well, I've decided to sell the QTP setup, as it won't really yield me THAT much, and I could use the money towards something better like...tuning.

I'm waiting on TiAl to get the other spring for my wastegate (dual spring setup) then they can ship it out, and I'll have it next week.
