Got to fartin around today and fabbed a little alternator mount. In these pics, it wasn't quite finished. I didn't take pictures of it all braced up and the adjustment tab.


Oh well..... still waiting on the coolant lines and fittings to get here.

Sorry, I moved my pictures around in my album so the links got messed up.

This is what it looked like when I got it last fall.

-16 aluminum bugs that I'm having welded onto my radiator, and the -16 Kevlar/XRP Hose. I still have two more hoses on the way

After I get the coolant system finished this weekend, the only thing left is wiring........... then I can drive it finally !

I hate wiring, probably going to end up burning myself up.

Hi Eric,

I will happily re-wire your whole car free of charge. Just let me do the first burnouts

We may get a little logistics problem...

This cooling system is getting the best of me. The Kevlar hose isn't as flexible as I thought so none of my fittings are going to work. That, and the engine seems a lot smaller when trying to run -16 hose through it

Ripped my dash out last night, to make sure the Haltech Harness was in good condition and do some straightening up................................oh and some WEIGHT REDUCTION. What a mess.

Anyhow, can someone tell me what these connectors are for. I pulled it from the engine bay, but forgot what they were hooked to.

I'm running an aftermarket intake and throttlebody so I'm even sure if I need them.

Yeah, a mess like I said. I hate trying to figure out other peoples wiring. And yes, these pictures are after I did lots of straightening.

Ok, this picture. I know the top connector go's to my 3 bar map sensor, middle is AIT sensor........ but I'm not sure what the last one go's to. It's NOT for the alternator.



Another one:

The connector on the left, with the greem rubber and one wire cut. What does that plug into ?




Okay, last one:

These two little connectors, what do they go to ?














what a mess

If this is going to be a drag car why don't you just rip all that spaghetti mess out of there and go with a painless wiring kit?

Well, I was hoping to get more done this weekend but unexpected circumstances had me out of town yestersay. So, that's that

This is what I got done this weekend.

Re-mounted the radiator
Mounted the electric waterpump
Mounted the overflow under the front end
Finished the side mount alternator
Installed a new throttle cable, waiting on my mazdatrix bracket though
Ripped the dash out
Did lots of wire sorting and simplifying
Ran a wire port on the firewal in back of the throttlebody for a cleaner look
Ran the AIT, MAP, Injectors, Coolant Temp Sensor and TPS wires through that hole.
Then, wire up the injectors and Map Sensor.

I'm fricken beat.......
