run1206's turbo build: Parts complete

[Stewi]

3/8" extension FTW!

[run1206]

exactly. i still can't believe it works too.

ok, sorry i haven't posted in this section for a while.
I got the car back from the shop, the internals for the first tranny were all messed up; had to get a second transmission from SC installed.
After $1100 and waiting til my birthday in Dec, i finally got my car back and she shifts great! I can get to all gears including reverse. Currently I have the 5 CEL codes as expected (4 for the shift solenoids and the torque converter codes).
My speed sensor doesn't work too, so i'm using my GPS for mph lol. Trying to look for another speed sensor and reverse solenoids at local junkyards (if anybody might have one or know someone that has one, please let me know. thanks).
Now i'm wondering about the boomslang harness and EVO ECU. Since i'm manual now, do i really need to connect the original ECU to the harness, or go with what I was gonna do and use both ECUs? Before I install the EVO ECU, i'm definitely gonna go over each and every connection before powering up the ECUs (probably will label all wires with the diagram papers i have from underrated and johnathansgalant). I have to fix my 90degree intake hose too, gonna get a new silicone coupler for that tomorrow.

Update on the EVO ECU and Boomslang Harness:
Minor problem with the harness and the ECU, i don't think many of the connections that are needed are made. Here's some of the pics i took yesterday of it connected to the ECU.



I started labeling the pins and wires for the ecu and harness, so that i make sure i have all connections made. will try to finalize it sometime this week.


Here is what i was talking about. EVO ECU has 2 rows. That 2nd connector to the ecu must have more than only 3 connections, i'll double check this tomorrow morning with the ECU sheets johnathansgalant made.


Top: EVO ECU connections have two (2) rows
Bottom:Stock harness for Galant has three (3) rows

Big thanks to Cali for selling me the speed sensor :) :)

few more pics :)
(Thanks for selling me the speed sensor Cali :D )


wires (black_blue, black, and black_yellow)


the same diagram from Figure 3. (Black_Yellow is for pin 3, Black_Blue is for pin 4, & ground is pin 2)


i plan on installing the speed sensor sometime this week

[run1206]

worked on the speed sensor today, car lost all power (i forgot to secure the negative part of the battery terminal *oops* )
wired it up and still doesn't work. maybe i'm wiring to pin 1&2 instead of 3&4 on C-17 :?

can't tell if from the diagrams i should determine 3 & 4 from looking INTO the harness or looking from BEHIND the harness.

any help is appreciated, thanks :)

Any updates Drew?

Any updates Drew?

wow i haven't been on here in a year

i'm in the process of doing the wires on the Boomslang harness and fitting it into the car sometime this month or next month (inspection is in August, that's my deadline). I'm waiting on word from SPD_FRK if his company makes the 4cyl conversion harness, if they do, i'll use that instead of the Boomslang for the Evo ecu.

Turbo wise, started cleaning out dirt and grime from the 14B. Might contact Chris to see about rebuilding the turbo, sometime this month.

Working again so at least i have an income to build up the project on.

That's where I'm at currently; still need gaskets, someone to weld the DP (with AC hopefully) and fitment of the ecu into the car.

edit: thanks to jonathansgalant I will start working on getting the speedo to work again, wiring for that is next week.

Did you do anything else with it over a years time!? o.O

[Galanttuner10]

hey drew you know you can hit me up whenever to rebuild it if the play is pretty bad. a rebuild kit is 45 bucks and you know i wont charge you anything and we can go to the bar before you head home

[run1206]

not really, most of last year's work was getting a new clutch and the transmission, not to mention getting a new job (the drive to manhattan is ridiculous :( )

K, forgot the cost of the rebuild kit was that low. Depending on your schedule, i can bring the turbo up to CT and work on it for a bit. (Bar sounds good too )

The only thing I've been working on lately was the speedometer and the ecu, CEL is freaking me out. I'm close to the point of probably mocking up the stock harness just to get the evo ecu in and pass inspections :/

[Galanttuner10]

im busy this weekend but maybe before corona i can get a free weekend or night. def text me whenever.

[Galanttuner10]

same here, i'll text you later in the week

i'll buy the kit soon as well, i think it's about 6 years since I bought the turbo; should probably get back to getting this done

[Galanttuner10]

its best not to rush it and it will all work out. i may even have a surprise for you....

damnit, now you got me wondering....

8G downpipe maybe? (complete guess lol)

[Galanttuner10]

haha i wish i could make a downpipe for you. it involves the turbo itself.

[beam514]

I'm pretty sure SPD_FRK has completed a conversion harness to run dual ECU's, OEM and Evo.

Hope he doesn't mind me posting the picture here.

[mrg7243]

Yeah he just did that one for a eclipse here in colorado

[run1206]

No problem beam. I'm actually hoping he made one for just a direct conversion; I'm manual so I don't need the galant ecu anymore. Would be great if one is made for the autos as well.

@chris: oooh, ok
