Haha chill guys, it's all in hand.
That rats nest gentlemen, is the omex loom.
It's all getting adjusted to the required lengths and routed nicely you just need to be patient

Good point about the terminal block location, completely over looked that! I'll look at addressing the issue today. Cheers!

No problem carl.

I was pulling your leg about the wires being left like that. I know you would not leave it like that!

Quite a bit more wiring done, no longer looks like a rats rest

Only one earth left.
3 omex plugs to splice, already taped and routed. (Crank sensor, intake air temp and coolant temp sensor)
Rpm wire needs routing through bulk head and connecting to relevant wire to display rpm.
Supercharger coolant pump needs wiring to an ignition live.
Rad fans need wiring
Waiting on extra pin for rad fan relay as we had to use existing rad fan relay Ecu pin for the idle motor-stepper motor magic box.
Ecu +12v and ignition live.
Air fuel ratio gauge needs fitting in the dash and wiring.
Don't want to lose audio controls though so they'll be replaced with aftermarket switches with wires soldered onto the control board.

Oil pick up pipe needs shortening
Sump needs modifying, I'll admit I overlooked a couple of details and it fouls in a couple of places.
I'll be nipping into work tomorrow morning to tinker with it and hopefully get it fitted after dinner and get the oil lines done.
Need to make a bracket for the stepper motor magic box and to mod the power steering pump come idler's outlet "cap" sticks out a little bit and I want more space for the oil lines to run past it.

Can safely say I won't be attempting to make a sump from scratch again.

Let's just say I'm having the rear drop one modified now.

Wasted a complete day mechanically, luckily my buddy has been doing a little bit of wiring, so not a complete waste of time.

Good progress tonight!
A/F gauge is nigh on ready to be mounted, all wired up.
Crank sensor is done which means all engine sensors are wired!
Ignition live ready for Ecu and SC pump.
Need a couple of relays but buying he Gf's birthday presents have wiped me out of cash!
Zilcho!

Anyway, finer details on A/F gauge:
As a rule if you stick the gauge where I have you lose the use of audio controls because the gauge requires the circuit board be removed/butchered.
I've come up with the idea of relocating the board, soldering on some wires and taking them to some aftermarket smaller switches which will then control audio!
Also there will be a shift light added to this area which will be a switch in itself, so I can turn off the shift light WITH the shift light button (that was my friend's idea, can't take credit for that) we confirmed with with my 'trician and he says what we've come up with is doable and commended us on our grasping of electrical solutions
Not bad for a couple of spanner monkeys haha

Also I THINK I've identified the wire in the back of the display cluster relating to tachometer display, plug C pin 5 blue.
Gonna chop it off and join the omex one to it and hopefully it should work .. Maybe?

SC coolant system drained of water ready for coolant.

Sump is away being ally welded
'Trician is busy tomorrow night but predicts a Wednesday start up but fans and SCpump will still need doing.

It's the Gf's birthday on Wednesday though so it might be delayed a little, also I start my pattern again on Thursday, we could be looking at a start up next week, best laid plans and all that. Just being a realist.

Confident it will be done in time for the tuner though.

The top 25 for a local show that I've entered is announced tomorrow, hope I've got in! Will post results on here so you can have your input on the top 25.

Anyway, bed time as I've agreed to cover a shift last minute, 12 hours overtime!! Night!
