Yes, please tell, where'd you get the quick-disconnects?

The E6X doesn't control the OMP, correct? What are you doing to get around that, premix? I remember a thread a while back about trying to reverse-engineer the oil injecting system, was that you also?

-s-

 

Thanks! All my Diagrams are hand drawn...maybe when I'm finished I'll release them

which gauges are you talking about...the only one I forgot about was the coolant temp sender, which I believe is on the X-14 connector (Y/W???) I assumed it was on the starter harness...wrong <--last time I assume

www.digikey.com will sell these parts. E6X doesn't control OMP, I'll be premixing. No, that wasn't me reverse engineering the OMP.

I wouldn't put these on an aircraft

But yes, the design is from the aerospace industry.

 

well you have the Speedo sensor wire, the tach wire, the water temp sensor wire, the oil pressure wire....

 

speedo wire, tranny harness...separate
tach wire...I believe it's pulled from the ign, eh? starter harness also...
water temp...already mentioned
oil pressure wire, starter harness...separate

the connector I made was for engine sensors to the ECU only. So I can pull the engine and not have to pull apart the interior and feed the harness thru the firewall <--not that, that was hard. I need a better hobby.

On a side note, I was working with my fuel system the other day...and to have full run at it, I disconnected the plug and sensors and removed the electrical system off the block, voila.

On a side note from the side note...I like the 'similar threads' this thread pulls, Time Travel! funny, I referenced Doctor Emit Brown earlier...I'm an idiot.

 

Is there a reason why you didn't just run the tranny harness along side the engine harness and through your quick-disconnect? It's only a few wires...

I have a simplified haltech harness as well, but have my tranny connects wrapped up with it all. I want to re-wrap it all soon - that's why I ask.

 

I guess the answer is...if the tranny harness went throught the QD...I'd have to unplug the (4) sensors on the tranny to demate.

I'll take a pic of the harness routes. The tranny and ignition harnesses say in the car when the engine comes out, like the starter harness.

 

True, didn't consider that.

So you have your tranny wiring routed along the firewall then? I used to always pull my tranny when I pulled my engine; I guess that's why it worked conveniently for me. I pull my engine sererately now, so it's just 4 more things to unplug.

Question answered, thanks.

 

I'm an aircraft mechanic, those plugs are on every plane in the air force

 

not the one I work on.

 

been a while but figured I'd post, the harness routes...the harnesses in the yellow p-clamp are the tranny (X-14 and X-05), and ignition harnesses.

 

what is this thing?

 

quick disconnect

 

WTF? Did you read any of the thread? It's an engine harness.

 

Dubulup,

Looks good!!

 

Thanks PHIL! Here a more recent photo with my "dropped too many times" camera

Work in progress...does anyone own an FD they consider finished???

(downpipe is getting ceramic coated satin black as you read!)

 

I was thinking about going black on the engine also. I think yours is the first I have seen like that. I am still on the fence - you like it? Seems like it would be very easy to keep clean (looking anyway).

Oh and nice job on the harness.

 

I'm lovin' the black! Has a very nice contrast to my SSM FD and extremely unique! People definitely don't expect it when I pop the hood. Powdercoated parts are extremely easy to wipe clean. IMO, black looks way better than dirty corroded bare aluminum. Also, if I had polished parts, I'd really be **** about pulling my car apart or people putting their ****-sticks in my engine bay, "what's that". If something got scratched, I'm **** enough to pull it and re-polish it. <---too much work.

Thanks for the props on the harness.

 

finally, someone decides to do something other than polished engine parts, keep everything dark, flying under the radar, looking stock. If someone who knows nothing about RX-7's looks under your hood, it'll look stock to them, rather than all shiney and aftermarket. congrats on a kick *** lookin setup, on the clean engine harness, and being different

 

looking stock

it does look goog, but definately not stock....

 

Thanks bro!

I appreciate that! It's funny you say that (above), because when I was building her, the goal was make it look like it belongs there!

*I posted these on another forum, but I'll post again...

 

you're right...but it's fun to say...ALL STOCK! try it

at least I can say it's a sleeper...everything under the hood.

 

whos car in the background.

lol so dubulup what you do for a living :P? i bet i can guess lol
joel

 

Not my car...you can still guess if you like

 

coming from someone that has a thousand hours of labor into their car I'll say that I'm very impressed.

not sure that makes sense to anyone else

I'd also remove the 2 brackets for pulling the engine once you get it in there
