I'll be wrapping the whole deal in the split mesh stuff. I am designing the harness to run to various strain relief points too. It took me so long to get the fuse block going that I have had a lot of time to think about the little things.
ETA: Thanks for mentioning Red Green. I was actually thinking about him narrating over the guys doing stuff while he is explaining what's going on.
I've got the majority of the harness cut, spliced and in place now. I just need to finish off the wiring for the J2 and Z1 circuits for the most part. That and finishing off some relays will have it ready for some fuel to be delivered somehow.
Time for a little update. There is not much left to do wiring wise. I need to get the headlights wired up along with the MAP, AIS and TPS. I need a fuel pump and lines too. That should not be bad though. Here is a video showing the most recent progress. I'll have another one showing the turbo that will be installed next.
I decided to document the physical installation of the turbo separately since it's going to be such a pain.
Any updates?
Please don't give us excuses about babies.....

progress?
It's very close to done. I have a slight turbo clearance issue and then the sensors need to be mounted. nothing too big at this point except for the IC and alt mounting.
With no heat in the garage it has been much too cold to work on it. There is also a serious baby delay right now.
three hours north of you and we are having a heat wave at -9 degreesOriginally Posted by cordes
Yeah, from what I recall, making babies is often more fun than building cars...
Indeed... And cost about the same hehe

priorities.. use it now one day it will be useless LOL
Got out in the garage for a few hours over the last couple of weeks. Turbo is on and so is the top half of the two piece now. I started cutting out a spot for the IC tonight. I hope to have that in tomorrow.
Love the build. I wish I had your motivation.
Thanks for the compliment. I'm trying to work on it as much as possible now that the weather has broken. As an added bonus I don't have to change diapers if I'm out there.
Here is a shot of the car as I left it tonight. The IC is pretty much in. I need to finish that off and then get the alternator installed. After that it will be time to fit a full size rad and some ducting. With the IC pipes in place I'll do the last of the wiring to make sure that it won't need to be moved after I terminate everything.
This is a big project, but there is a hint of light at the end of the tunnel.
Valve cover looks good.
Thanks. I've got a little bit of time into polishing that to say the least.
Hey Cordes, can you snap me a pic of how you mounted your solenoids?
This is the car you put them on the left side, right?
They aren't mounted permanently yet. They will go on the left side of the car where the relays were. Since I'm going with a PDC it fees up all the space on the strut tower. For some reason I think I zip tied two of them together, but I'll have to look again. I want to get all of the IC piping etc. in place before I finalize all of the wiring in case I need to run them over or under a pipe.
I was going to put the PDC there. where were you going to put it?
