I'm glad I said something, thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.

 

I was talking to geoff at Full race and he used to run it the same way off the manifold on his r14. He kept going through diaphrams. After talking with tial they found the issue he had was the vaccuum from the manifold was wearing out the diaphrams. They switched the vaccuum source to the compressor and he said he hasnt had a problem since, and thats how he recommends the wastegates be set up now.

Interesting, I've never heard that before. Geoff knows his stuff, so I feel weird about saying this, but that really doesn't make sense to me.

 

Finished up my quick connect fittings for the boost solenoid. After a lot of thought and looking at placement I decided rather than make new holes to cover up an existing hole by using a custom plate with two bulkhead fittings. I think it came out pretty nicely but your comments are welcome

 

Looks good.

 

looks good,

quick question.

what have people done with the windshield washer fluid bottle?

just lose it all together?

 

what did you end up doing with the power line that comes from the main harness and goes to the fuse box?

 

I only drive my car in the summer when the roads are clean. I also wash my car regularly. So I have never really needed to "clean" my windshield but rather just use the wipers if I get caught in the rain. So to say the least I didn't need the windshield washer bottle...

The main power line from the harness (Alternator wire) I swung across to the drivers side and under the brake booster. I was opting to connect it to the power source for the drivers fusebox but after doing a bit of testing the alternator has its own circuit in the main fusebox. I brought this wire into my drivers side fender where i cut the end off and extended the wire. It loops back through the windshield wiper compartment and to the passenger main fusebox.

You can see from this picture that the wire has plenty of slack to reach inside the drivers fender. How you decide to extend it back to the passenger fusebox is up to you. I just wanted everything hidden as much as possible. Next winter I may tackle hiding the main engine harness a little better but this is plenty for now.



Here is the alternator wire with the end cut off and the red wire is the wire which is going through the wiper compartment over to the pass fusebox. I havnt decided how I want to connect them but I want something I can disconnect in the event I have to pull the motor it isnt a PITA.



Here you can see the red wire on the pass side as it comes out of the wiper compartment and feeds into the fusebox.

 

Hey what spring is best to use for the Tial BOV? I just ripped mine apart and its got a black color coding on it. I heard somewhere 11psi?

 

Thats what I think is in mine.
