Thanks, FRPP hook-up! 34pph injectors (good for 305-325rwhp)



Test fitting...



No shit it doesn't fit. YET.



BERNIE MOSFET for EE pres!

The Amphenol looks just like the Deutsch stuff.....but that 18 position (3 row of 6) plug (AT16-18SB-K004) looks like I need a few to replace two 12s I run and one is not full.

Anyone looking to buy this kind of stuff, I would recommend buying 2 to 3 times the pins that you have ports for in the shells. I can't tell you how many I wasted when I redid stuff. My entire EFI harness and aftermarket gauges are sectioned for ease of use, removal, and diagnosis.

Also the shells like what you have posted above are also sold through MSD but are quite expensive to do the entire car in.

Got the connectors for Don's instrument panel today. Amphenol has some good quality inexpensive sealed, latching, keyed connectors. A set of connectors is about $11 each with all the parts.

These are AT series connectors. Some assembly required.




This is a pdf from digikey that goes into detail about them.

Coming along...



We're about to get serious now. T3 flange arrived, the old BP is going for manifold/turbo/downpipe mock-up this weekend.



Re-welded the seat so I can drive the Lemons car. Seriously.

Things are snowballing finally and it's coming together FAST.

WRX fully adjustable strut mounts start here:



Paint the mount using the old strut mount for a template:



... and get this.





Oh, and the LADD connectors. THIS is why y'all need them!

[KBScobravert]

She sent me the cutting tool and the crimping tool

Well there ya go!

[DON SVO]

Thought I would show you how they will look. Do you have the lock washers and nuts? I have extras. Also here is the tool to cut the sheet metal.
New connectors for the firewall




I took a lot of research to find the right tool to cut the D-Shaped holes in the sheet metal. Then it took a dozen phone calls to get the damn thing to me. This is a loaner from Deutsch. New in the box will cost you $530 but the loaner is free as long as you only have it for 30 days. A month wait for a tool that I was finished with in 10 muntes.

The gear from LADD arrived today. AMAZING quality. The. Bulkhead connector will be mounted to the firewall and allow for nano-second harness removal:

Properly built turbo street car.

Too bad you will have it all done by October when I get my first real break from Afg. I would love to help you wire that thing up. I have a bunch of material left over from my build.

Don't forget expandable nylon wire sleeve and heat shrink from www.cabletiesandmore.com cheap to buy in bulk and makes a difference in rat nests of wiring harnesses.

What race do you plan on going to?
