I also like that all my mod stuff will just plug into the harness.

You must have been a boy scout !! That harness looks like a knot board.

Nice. Shiny clean.

Shawn do you have access to a TDR to check you harness ?

Thanks Eddie. It certainly is not a quick project. My wife is happy to get the dining room table back.

TDR? A time-domain reflectometer? If so then no . I did a lot of basic connectivity testing using an ohm meter.

I have been seriously considering this.. But i dont think i can get a AWIC fitted in the car, there just not enough room..

Is it wrong that I'm more excited about your wiring harness than the motor build?

I am hoping once you see what this motor can do, you will completely forget about the harness. The harness is really just a bunch of wires.

Hit a snag. My 3" down pipe was hitting the brake master cylinder shield and it was pretty snug against it. I looked at it as I was bolting in the motor and it looked like it was going to clear but last night I noticed it was hitting.

I lowered the motor a bit and pulled out the shield but it is hitting in the one place there is no room behind the shield, right at the corner of the master cylinder. So I am re-doing the down pipe I think it is a bit tighter with this setup because the ATP adapter raises the turbo a bit higher.

I think trying to layout the down pipe with the motor OUT is very difficult to say the least. I am almost done with the new down pipe but it is a time consuming process.

take the intake manifold off and do the down pipe while the engine is in the car.
