post #17 is my new background... seriously. I love clean engine bays.

this thread is gonna kill me tomorrow when I go look under my hood

I had the spot welds filled also, they were showing after 18 years. Thanks for the comments buddy-I appreciate that.

 

[polobai]

also had these parts painted-the console will have a 7 inch monitor where the factory radio was, the radio where the ashtray was, and the turbo timer and boost controller where the climate control was.

 

[polobai]

got nawzzzzz? lol-just for the intercooler.

ok onto the goodies for the engine-tial 40 mm wastegate on a ebay mani (fits perfect, and didnt have to rotate the wastegate flange, but did have to drill some holes).

mr. GT4082 with a .82ar (thanks Sean for sourcing the backhousing for me). Had the lines made at a local shop here.

turbo spacer made by Mazworx in Orlando- they are 3 separate 3/8 inch t4 flanges welded together.

ok and thats all folks for a little bit at least. I will post more pics by this weekend-trying to finish the car by the Tampa supra meet (may be kinda tough, but I'm gonna try)

 

[TobyCat]

amazing work man, that's gonna look so good in there with all that extra crap out from under the hood.

Love your car!

Ok back for an update: Here is a mock up of the short runner intake manifold with the Q45 throttle body. (pic was before engine paint job)

That is awesome! I can only aspire to have an engine compartment look like that one day!:aigo:

wiring harness deconstruction-this is about 3/4th of the wires that I removed from the harness.

 

[polobai]

in case your worndering what wires were removed,the harness is an automatic harness, so it has the wires for the auto tranny there. All of those were removed except for the reverse lamp wires, vsv wires (fpr, egr), horn wires, heater wires, etc. here is a pic of the harness beginning to be reconstructed.

 

[polobai]

speaking of harness questions, does anyone know if the yellow wire on the MAF pro hooks up to anything? It doesnt in any of the wiring diagrams, but just want to make sure. Also does any one know the description of the resistor needed and its placement on the afm harness so no CEL is thrown?

 

[polobai]

got my answer to that question already-in speed density, no yellow wire is hooked up for the general install.
