Shortest route is drilling through the firewall and installing a grommet for saftey.

I think I fed mine with the harness grommet.

I did more work. Evo5 radiator installed. Had to test my welding skills to make the bottom work. Also installed the timing belt. Just need to install the auto tensioner and pull the pin. Still need to wire in the resistor pack since I switched from STI injectors to evo fic 1050cc

Coming along beautifully.. Loving it!!

Had to buy a 2001 Dodge neon upper radiator hose to make the evo5 radiator work #MoparPower

Bottom hose I used the stock one and just cut it shorter.

Nice progress.

Wellyes, I just had a hard time finding a good spot to go through with the thick cable I'm running. On a second thought, I have a parts car and the interior is pulled already... time to get the drill out.

Spent the last 3 days finishing it. Cut out a plate for the COP from acrylic using the router at work.

Unlike many people who did the swap and said that the cam sensor needs to be extended and so does few other sensors, I unwrapped the harness and got enough slack for all the sensors to route them to their new location. I used an evo crank position sensor and it's so long that it goes over the valve cover and sits next to the fuel rail so that helped me about extending the plug for it.

I will do another session for the full harness clean up.

First start up I had a fuel leak from the feed line. Found out the o-ring was pinched. Replaced it and it ran fine.

Coolant temp sensor connector was broken so I had to fix it since I didn't have a spare

My gf bought me a stage 4 6puck disc for the car as a birthday gift

Working on wiring the injectors and the resistor pack and then the ignition coils

Here an idle video

Looks good, when will it be ready for the track?

**spdracr** · 05-31-2015, 11:04 PM

Still lots of tuning to do. I'm having an issue with the map sensor. I also don't wanna run it down the strip until I get two slicks and an LSD for it. I really really wanna run it but I'll just spin tires through the gears lol

**gtx** · 06-01-2015, 10:56 PM

Time to pull out this one from the bag...

**8thLS6** · 06-07-2015, 03:11 PM

^^lol. Idle sounds good. Like how that neon hose lined up like it was meant to be

**spdracr** · 06-17-2015, 09:03 PM

I'm having idle issues. Car is running super rich. No matter how much fuel we pulled it is still rich.

Checked the crank and cam sensors. As well as swapped the map sensor and all functioning. Gonna check voltage at the injectors and if that checks out then I need to swap back to sti injectors to see if that works. Compression test is also on the list.

**spdracr** · 06-22-2015, 06:13 AM

Swapped back to sti injectors and no luck. I'm gonna borrow a spare evo fpr and test.

**kylecanthurdle** · 07-02-2015, 07:29 PM

how long are the injectors staying open?

**spdracr** · 07-02-2015, 07:38 PM

Not sure. Injectors aren't faulty. There was a suspicion that the ecu is fried cuz the resistor pack is bad. Well confirmed that my resistor pack is fine. Gonna swap ecu anyway and test both ecus against each other.

the reason i ask is because on most cars in current/live data you can watch the injector pulse time. usually its around 700miliseconds. obviously if theyre staying open too long then that could be a reason. just a long shot but it could be causing it

I didn't mean to reply short. I was just in a rush and couldn't sit and write an essay. The car at this point won't even start and idle. If I open the throttle all the way while cranking then I manage to get it to run but it's dumping fuel like crazy.
