Sidehatch,

It doesn't have to be perfect.

I've got one running daily with a cobbled-up harness. Has a bunch of splices, several with crimp fittings, all well-taped, though. Will build another harness with the right parts later. And, BTW, its just wire. No way, no how, worth $1000.

What does have to be perfect is the removal of all grains of sand from that intake. Even if you have to use 65 different brushes in a bathtub full of soapy water, it needs to be sand-free.

 

hey, who let you back in? Good to see ya.

 

Rog, the wine I can understand, but importing a turkey is abit far fetched

I am guessing it is yellowtail.

George,
if you arent good with soldering you CAN take a butt crimp connector remove the plastic on it, crimp it on and put heatshrink over that. It will work as well, it just will not last near as long as a soldered connection.

 

That point can't be stressed enough. There has been at least one instance where a 928 engine was ruined when a sandblasted intake was installed without having had all of the sand cleaned out from inside of it.

 

When you splice these in do you have to watch for polarity, or does it matter which wire connects to which?

 

George, what part of the harness do you need? I have a a spare one.

 

I gota tell ya you guys are the best when it comes to this stuff ,i have really come to understand from removing this intake and all the different things that go with it from the write up from dave chamberlaind,that im humbled about the wealth of information about this wonderfull car. And i finnally get it,in so many words, i can now see why people go to the extant that they do to make these cars run the best that they can,i have the bug now and i hope i can achieve the performance that so many of us seek to have,thank you

 

As far as this car goes im thinking of flying that dude down from canada to get this thing straight,these mechs from here can fix it but they dont care like you guys do,i think this car has a chance so im not giving up yet,i have to figure this out,to me its a huge problem,to some of you its piddley nothing so im gona see what to do.

 

Hey George...how many of those connectors do you need? We might have a few from a spare parts harness we can throw you.

 

ms leslie thanks let me see what can be done with this and ill give ya a buzz thanks

 

Hey George,

I would not recommend getting used sections of harnesses for the injectors for your car.

A couple of points to this, #1, they are old and brittle, #2 they could have frayed wires which may not show up right away, but will cause you to want to tear your hair out later, #3 is the design, the newer ones have a MUCH better design which makes them easy to remove without struggling and possibly breaking them.

You have a PM on the way as well.

 

Hello George,
Got your question about the order of washers. I have mine apart now and took a look and snaped a few pics. I don't know how to post pics to PMs so I responded on this post to get you the pics.

You mentioned 2 plastic washers, 2 metal flat washers, and a wavy (spring type washer). When I looked closely at mine, I have one additional metal flat washer.

Here's the pic before removal from the intake....

The flat metal washers are placed on the inside (the smaller diameter end) of the plastic washers, like so....

The spring metal washer (wavy one) goes between them, like so...

I believe this is the order and orientation of the washers. First the plastic, then one flat metal washer, then the spring washer, then the spring, followed by another flat metal washer, followed by the other plastic washer. Mine had one additional flat metal washer that I believe went on the very end (last washer). However, I'm not certain of this and will have to look at the intake to confirm how the assembly rests on the intake. My intakes are still getting powder coated. If I'm mistaken, then the 3rd washer came from between the two plastic washers (the plastic washer closest to the throttle plate). If you do not have a 3rd metal flat washer, then you should have both of yours on the inside between the two plastic washers as shown.

Here's what it should look like with the spring/washers assembled and under tension....

This is the order I believe mine was put together. Hope this helps - let me know if you need anything else.

 

Dwayne this is great information,thank you so much,your the best,you can make an entire website with how too's like this, the photos are perfect dude,thanks

 

Thanks Dwayne, I couldn't remember for sure but that is the order I thougth they went in but could not find any pictures. Thanks for that.

 

This has got to be the funniest contraption i ever seen,its like if this spring doesnt work the whole car is shot lol,it looks like a moustrap or something,what were they thinking.Sean did you ever save that donkey out of the well lol
