Thanks everyone for your support, lol when I looked at the first pic I thought to myself what have I done? What am I doing, and how many simultaneous projects is this on the car at one time, so Car2n I can only imagine what your going through. But I know there will be an end. I think being able to see the end result of each mini-project in my mind helps me understand and get to teh big picture.

lol, thank you for the advice but with the DSM's I can cut the fuel on my stock setup by 65% (meaning this is what is in excess and available for F/I) so I will run them and feel that they will be more than adequate, thanks though. I prefer to run what's adequate.
 
Lol cool, you should post more pics of your build in your thread or start a thread dedicated to it. I know people our going this route but everyone is so quiet about what they are doing (Kinda why I am all out with posting every step of my build.

More pics of the wiring mess I made and then cleaned up I pulled each tangled pin from the connector, then untangled it and put it back in its place in the connector; damn did that suck, the pins just didn't wanna come out willingly.

The mess

And a couple hours later. I still need to solder in the 8 or so wires that needed to be extended to make this a go, gut so far so good.

Damn what a mess. Remember to take your time, don't rush. I can't wait to see this beauty run with twin turbos. Keep up the good job Telion. :woot:

Indeed it is lol, but it's not as bad as it looks or I thought it would be. And fortunately I have the assistance of being broke to help force me to take my time :yes:
 
I got a question, slightly off topic, but the people who I think can offer me some info are the ones reading this thread..Telion,Kho,DV8,Buzzard..

In hillbilly land, the answer to any EFI/ECU question is: Put a Holley on it. I have experience with rewiring ECU plugs for different injection setups, but as far as how values are changed on the ECU, that is a mystery to me.

Now im not asking you guys to explain how this is done, but if you know of any good resource materials, that would be sweet.

I also want to know if all Honda ECUs can be chipped. OBD0/OBD1/OBD2 etc, and if any of them are easier to chip than the others.

So again, I realize this is pretty off topic, but Telion is going to have a lot of ECU stuff to do, so I thought it might be ok to ask..

PGMFI.org is where I would point you toward

Now back to the topic at hand (avoiding Engine management for now)

I was able to get the relocation of the fusebox 90% complete. Now I just need to get it mounted into place :)

Thanks for link.

I like how you've managed to tuck the whole harness into the fender.

can you post a pic from the front where we can see the bay with the harness down the side, or are you saving that pic for a bit?

How well do you think that fuse box will work as a clutch:hide:
 
Discussion starter · #529 ·
What do you mean, it makes an excellent clutch if I ever get road rage I can just blow a fuse. No need for a frontal shot it is tucked along the side of the fender nice and tight.
 
Discussion starter · #532 ·
It should, it is a nice tight tuck, I am even thinking a cylinder style windshield washer reservoir in there :)

Now on a side note I have pondered this for a few days well about a week now should I put a piece of flex pipe in the downpipe between the turbos and the Y incase I decide to swap the turbos or for greater flexability? :dunno:

I am still in limbo on this any opinions good bad whatever, talk to me :dunno:
 
sorry guys for my extended absence but im back. i was going over the replies ive missed and i must say that i was a little offende when the muffler design i have was refured to as a rice cannon an that it had no place on a legend. i think i looks pretty good. how bout u?
 
Discussion starter · #537 ·
Well. . .your response didn't address anything in the thread, welcome back though, and I think in your pic the muffler is sitting a little too close to the ground. my goal will be to tuck it a little better and take out a little bit of the bumper area to accomodate a more flush fit. But scrap my previous question I have decided to only use flexpipe after the Y on the downpipe.
 
Discussion starter · #540 ·
Thank you as well :). Clocking the turbos for the moment is the least of my concerns lol. I really need to clean everything up as it looks a little discouraging as is.
