Thanks Corey.

 

No prob.
Better safe than sorry.

I know it's an optima so gases won't leak but are you planning on passing a tech inspection for racing? Some like NHTSA require a externally vented plastic or metal box even if it is a sealed battery. It would be up to the tech guy if they allowed you through.

 

Actually, I'm also curious what the painless kit will be for?

Th E-fan plus anything else?

 

I have a battery box on the way. As far ad the curcuit isolator it is going to be used for the Haltek, boost controller, efan, and my wideband for right now. It has four constants and three switched power supplies. All of them are run through 20amp fuses.

 

I got through tech two weekends ago after relocating the battery. The guy did not even ask where it was or to see it. I was very surprised about his lack of thouroughness.

 

A breaker is not for regular issues, but in the case something bad happens...Like your starter wire rubbing through on the firewall, or the wire from the storage bin to the engine bay being cut on the sharp edges of the body...It's also nice to be able to kill all electrical power in the car with the flip of a switch.

I buy most of my breakers from Waytek at http://www.waytekwire.com

 

I ordered one last night just in case. I have never run one before, but for $11 shipped why not.

 

Tomorrow will be an eventful day fo the car. There is going to be a day full of soldering and heat shrinking! Oh joy!! Plenty of pics to come.

 

Ew, enjoy. I hate... HATE soldering and sorting wires. What are you gonan be soldering? Good luck

 

 

looks good man. I think I will see just about everything if I see a 60-1 get an rx7 into the low 11 to 10 sec area. As for soldering what are you soldering? I rarely solder anything. I've found those splices with the heat shrink tubing already on them are some of the best things to get and are very durable! Hope that clutch isn't too bad cause it's the same setup I'm using with my hbp t70 setup.

 

Give it a few months and you will hopefully get to say that you've seen it all then.

 

Here are some more of the brand new parts. RX8 E-shaft, water pump, oil pump, rotor housings, oil pan, and chain set. The rotor housings are currently at the machinist getting ported(cnc ported that is)

 

nice! do I spy new housings

 

Yes you do!

 

Well, today I pulled out the power cables. Then cut it and soldered new lugs on for the 200amp breaker and then I wrapped the whole thing with looming and electrical tape. Steve worked on the jacked up Haltek harness today getting all of the half-assed stuff fixed. He got it all in order and looking great!
I also hacked on my front bumper to allow clearance and better flow for my intercooler. There is still a lot of fine sanding and shaping on the bumper to get it to where I am happy, but it is moving forward though.
I am going to install the cucuit isolator tomorrow.

 

Us Arizona guys are really starting to pop up.

We've got AZ rotary rockets

Then I'm daily driving a TII while you and Rat are using the BIG turbos

And to add we're in one of the hottest parts of the US.

Short responce.
We Kick ***!!

 

I am not quite kicking *** yet, but give it a few months for the break in and tune. Mwahahaha

 

I have begun the install of the curcuit isolator today. Here are some pics of the progress I have made. I decided to mount it in the center console for ease of access.

 

Well. after a weekend of working on my car I am proud to say that I am going to be installing the Haltek this week.
I got it all back together last night and it was not turning the fuel pump on. I messed with it a little last night. I swapped the AFM out, but still no dice. I jumpered the set coupler and the fuel pump came on, so that takes the pump and the afm out of the picture. Then today Steve reminded me that i have a Haltek E6K sitting on the floor in my parts room. So, today when I got home I took out a little frustration on the brittle harness!














E6k here I come! lol

P.S. I need a base map for my current setup. oops

 

What injectors are you running? I've got 550/550 and 1680s maps, believe I've lost my 550/720cc maps..

 

I am running 550/720 injectors. With BNR stage 1 turbo.

 

You shoud try and get an FD alternator. The S4 one is like night and day vs the FD.

With bass hits from songs I would see my volt needle dropping towards 12-13 but the FD just sits pretty at 13.5+ even with hard hitting songs.

Soooo. Watcha doin with that hacked harness

 

I am going to run a S5 alternator.

So Corey, what are you gonna do with that exhaust?

 

Ive got him covered for maps/
