It’s been a little while and I just forgot to post

Since the last post I’ve managed to finish painting up the bay and the sub frame pieces so lets get that out of the way.

Since that got done I started working on the wiring harness.
I’ve got a few goals of this harness and most of which should be fairly simple
1: minimal
2: hidden as best I can
3: long lasting

So I did what any one would do and went overboard.
Mil spec firewall connector, TXL wire, 20g for sensors and 12g for power/ground, brand new oem connectors where required, adhesive lined shrink tubing and a whole bunch of planning.

I drew out the wiring diagram first using draw.io and then once i got that mapped out started on the engine side of the harness.

I’m still not quite done, but i’m about 60% of the way there. I still have the o2 sensor leads, boost control solenoid leads and power transistor connector. I have no intentions on sealing up the entire harness until the engine runs the first time. I have a feeling that I will probably end up missing something and end up needing to take a little extra time to get every thing working properly. However once it’s all done i’ll be wrapping the harness in kapton tape then again in tesa tape.
