Nice Build, how bad was the original steering wheel? I am in the market for a decent leather one...
thanks

pm sent^

For the front SS brake lines, they look installed wrong. You are supposed to retain the OEM metal section that connects the lines together. And they should have a bracket that connects and wraps them around to the rear of the shock. That is probably why you have so much slack in your lines.

 

[ade]

i did it all wrong on purpose and got rid of the oem metal section to run one ss line from the hard line to the caliper, unfortunately the front line was a bit long, rears are perfect. fortunately i ordered a shorter length, bye bye slack.

so i get to cleaning ina the trunk last night when i run into this. Hwaaaaaaa, could this be a source of a future melt down? not on my watch!

Great looking car man. When u think u well have it running

 

[ade]

thanks. i get it running next weekend, i get it to perfection in a few months.

 

[EROCK970]

Nice man. I'm in NY too maybe we can meet up 1 day

 

[ade]

meeting up someday sounds like a plan.

the turbo oil dump tube flange isnt getting shipped till the 23 so start up gets pushed back, more time to prepare imo.

 

[EROCK970]

Ya I need a new clutch set up. Can buy it'd for the Nextel 3 weeks. So I feel ur pain

 

[ade]

well im at this resurrection's final stages, it started up on an evo8 base tune last weekend but wouldn't idle long. log showed a bad o2(wiring). new o2 ordered, wiring is getting sorted. i also got a knock sensor dtc, replaced the sensor and cleared the code. and lastly i unpluged the evo8 maf and it ran fine!! for a few secs then it starts idle surging.

there's a way to lock the car in closed loop, but im not familiar with v3. i got an sd kit and p&p harness from ecmlink i picked up a while back and decided, i don't need no stinking maf, so a good buddy will be here sunday to tune in speed density. till then i'll sort out all its issues.

Looks good! I wouldn't run that crank pulley though. Will end up doing more harm than good. Also I would invest in some exhaust wrap for the downpipe and exhaust mani. As well as some reflective material for that upper cold side output next to the exhaust mani.

 

[ade]

crank pulley came with the car, are there horror stories to running it?

yeah i picked up some reflective material for the piping but wrapping the manifold and downpipe... taking it off.... then putting it back on.... sigh

 

[ade]

started the car in sd. but o2 has a mind of its own

do i have this right?

looking into sensor plug with knob tab or guide at 12oclock
top left - blue >to> white -shielded on engine harness
top right - white >to> black -shielded on engine harness (continuity to ecu)
bottom left - black >to> red on engine harness (12volts recorded)
bottom right - black >to> black on engine harness (continuity to chassis ground)


engine harness on the left ------ o2 sensor on the right

hey ade,

I don't know if anybody's said anything about that plug coming off the ecu harness but if it's anything like mine (and it looks exactly the same) a previous owner had tapped into the front o2 wire for one reason or another and the green wire/white male plug was just hanging there. I found mine when wiring an AFR gauge to my ecu and deleted it.

 

[ade]

does it plug in somewhere?


Quoting transparentdsm:

not 100% sure but that should be the o2 voltage output.. you can run a narrowband gauge to it for a reading.



i assumed it just dangled under there like ^ said

 

[transparentdsm]

you can plug it into a aftermarket narrowband gauge, but that is all. its just a o2 voltage output. let it dangle or tuck it into the wires or add yourself a narrowband gauge.

edit: if your still troubled with the o2 wiring and no one helps you by sunday i will take pictures of my o2 and wiring harness, if you did everything right according to a manual the only thing i can think of is the two black wires are backwards..
