SHE LIVES!!!!!
Finally got her running - I haven't taken her out on a test drive yet, as I don't have the headlights or bumper cover on, but my car is idling beautifully!!
:twisted:
And to think, it was all because of a friggin miswire on the emanage harness :oops:
sweeet we need pics and vids when you have it going.
Back in the Family!!

Damn, hearing the car start and idle for the first time was orgasmic.
I haven't received the instructions from Russ, but I was able to figure it out with the help of the other Eclipse guy that was installing his kit. Actually, there were no instructions ready yet, as the Eclipse guy and I were the first to install the kit outside of the shop. Instructions should be ready by the time anyone else orders their kit. I'd be happy to help out for any other installs.
I'll get more vids and pics hopefully later tonight.
My last problem right now is with the Braille battery - it doesn't seem to be holding a charge, so I'm going to check my alternator, but if the alternator checks out, I'm going to install a trunk relocation kit instead.
ya...why not get an optima in the trunk??? i kno it must put more volts then tha brille

take 40 lbs off the front axle and add 40 lbs to the rear. thats 80 lbx closer to even weight distribution. just get a autozone marine battery box for now so you cna get her running, then order the nhra legal battery box and install it at your leisure.
if you mount the battery passenger side rear, it will help to offset the weight of the driver.
to keep things simpl i just god some heavily sheilded 4 gauge wire from home depot and ran the positive from the stock battery terminal(just used a 4 gauge electric coupler and wrapped it in tape)i ran the wire under the body as close to the frame rails as possible so the frame rail would protect it from abrasion(make sure you run it on side of the frame rail opposite the hard fuel and brake lines.)
then i grounded it in the trunk. part of me wants to run a low resistance cable back to the front so i can ground my engine grounds directly to it.
but when the battery is in the trunk, the fuel pump rewire is a piece of cake. jsut a couple feet of wire each way.

Congrats and Welcome to the V6 Turbo club :twisted:
Yah that braille looked pretty small to start your v6 dailey. I paide $60 locally for my Optima yellow top.
I drained my yellow top once. Between starting my car w/o an alternator hooked up and leaving my lights on one night it got drained, not completely, just wouldnt start. Hooked up a battery charger, set it to the 14v start, started up first crank. Havent have a problem since.
7g for life!

Yeah, I'm thinking that the Braille is more suited to the 4 cylinder cars than our V6s. Haven't been able to find a relocation kit locally, so I've got one on order from Jegs.
hehe listen to that 255 whine! Yours sounds louder then mine, probably just cause the camera is in the back seat
7g for life!
sounds pretty good. you still have some exhaust leaks?
you ready to drop the hammer and become one with the dark side of the force?

Yeah, that pump is friggin loud, but it also helps that I don't have my back seat in yet.

Haven't really checked the exhaust for leaks, but it looks like the underhood smoke has subsided.
Once I get the battery in, I'm going to do some more test drives, this time with my laptop logging the Zeitronix data and my PDA logging the ODBII stuff. It is soooooo tempting to drop the hammer on the throttle, but I want to make sure everything is running smooth.
damn that fuel pump is loud. can't wait for some wot videos :shock:
yeha just listen for popping when you are coasting. if you have leaks you'll hear them. don't forget of course to retoque all your exhaust bolts after your 1st or 2nd heat cycle. they like to come loose when they heat up. especially those tials.
i love my 255 hp
sounds like a harrier when i'm idling at a light
