D_Tuned's z6 vitara build,57 trim,with spray

[Tw34k]

So while i wait.. staring at my motor on the stand, only knowing that once my manifold finally arrives from greg ill be able to get it in the car.

so i have been keeping busy with the final things that i have been putting off for a little bit like wiring. I have my harness in sort of a rough draft where its able to run the car but not quite done being wrapped up in case of needed modification in the future. I just finished running and hooking up the wires for the hi/low boost per gear switch, nitrous activation switch, also ran a wire from the wideband to the ecu. Everything in my car is done to be extreamly clean but also very functional and easy to work on. Every connection is soldered and shrink wrapped as well as a way to easily disconnect harness sections wherever most convenient.

I snapped a few shots of the little switch's i have for the boost and nitrous

may just be the pictures but it looks like those lights are a little too distracting.

they are not to bright but i wanted them to catch my eye in case they were on when they should not be

Very nice I like how you are doing it for sure Im doing some stuff close to this with mine as well

[cooolman1989]

very good im not sure most people realize that the arrow on the vitara pistons dont point to the t belt like honda pistons glad to see you new that

[Tw34k]

no ghetto in my ride

[cooolman1989]

i can tell well done

[Tw34k]

thx man

[Tw34k]

had a good idea tonight for my harness and put it to work. sooo so clean and makes workin on this beast a breeze.. ill post up some pics tomorrow

[Tw34k]

ok so since im running my injector wires through the middle of the 2nd and 3rd intake runners this might make things take a little bit longer to disassemble so i took a plug from a obd1 dizzy and added a 8th pin and used it as a disconnect for the injectors.





like ive stated before clean but also functionality is a big must.

[Tw34k]

supposedly my turbo mani will be here before the weekend and if so i will be putting this motor in as early as friday evening

[dfanatic]

looks dope D!!!!! rep!

[sabes]

likin the smooth thinking with the injector harness.

[Tw34k]

thanks guys ill post more pics when its all cleaned up.

My injectors do not require a resistor box right now but when i upgrade to something bigger in the future i may need one so im working on a way to wire in one that can be enabled/disabled with a switch or jumper somewhere in the harness so i can easily switch between low and high impedance.

[Boosted-EH-804]

No need just rock out with the bosch high impedance injectors but very nice work

i still cant believe you didnt wear safety glasses when you notched the block and girdle....

and what mani did you order from greg? and why didnt you get it made locally! i work with mase now, and have all the supplies needed for manifolds....

Looks really good man.

Tucking always looks wonderful, but I sometimes have to wonder about the functionality of it.
This seems to be a nice little innovation to add more function to the tuck!!

at some points i was wearing my sunglasses, mostly with the block since it shot more aggressive shrapnel than the girdle. but you are totally correct ( ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION ) i leaned my lesson that day by getting a lil piece of metal in my eye that drove me crazy for a week, about like the i have sand in my eyes feeling from welding with no helmet. the ole blink and turn trick for lots of tedious tack welds doesn't always work so well.

as for the mani i snagged a cast piece from greg like my old ebay one but hopefully this one wont have flange issues like the ebay one. I plan on running something tubular in the future but that time will most likely come when i upgrade the turbo which i do plan on doing once i find one for a steal

Im finishing up the modifications on my vc and imma pick up some fittings and most likely have you weld em for me tho here soon

you have a point but the idea is still up in the air, i wont have the harness 100% done when the car starts up but its easy to pull so ill finish it up once i verify no issues or modifications needed.

thanks this is exactly what im going for.. i cant see a reason for putting all this time into your car and not making it a lil easier to work on in the future while ur at it.
