I'll run that by the creator. He actually has a business doing this, so its his intellectual property - don't really want to **** him off by handing it out.
Meeee too. Work has been crazy lately with very little time left to work on it.
You act like I don't have a whole box of that stuff waiting to go on!!!
Learned my lesson about wrapping a harness before you have it running. I keep finding wires to add lol.
Thanks! I can't wait!

Whew. Labor intensive weekend.
PIcked up some Hushmat and started laying it on the firewall. I'll be doing the whole car once the cage is in to minimize the amount of damage. I then laid a layer of "be cool" insulation on top of this. Should really improve the feel and more importantly, the temperature inside the car.
Next I went to town on the body harness. Pulling spare / dead wires and fixing shoddy work done by previous owners.
This is my pile of excess when I was about 3/4 of the way done.
Here I'm just checking the length of the harness, and adding wires for switches ( line lock, 2 step, etc.)
That's all for tonight. Hoping to get the wiring wrapped up, the cooling system installed, and be driving it sometime this week. Seems like my timeline just keeps getting pushed, but I keep finding things that need attention. In due time, I suppose.

Got the car to warm up to temp and verify all the wiring and fan is working correctly. Crazy how much the FG wrap smokes!
Blew a hole in my floor for the battery box. I'm using a Duralast 8AMU1R battery. Friend of mine made the box - Thanks Steve!
And from the bottom. There's plenty of clearance for everything, but the box still needs mounted and finished.

Nice work! Glad to see you do the build right not hacked up and halfassed. Maybe a couple guys will take notice the majority won't. Keep it up! It's going to be a great ride.

I did drive it yesterday, about 60 miles. Everything worked flawlessly, and the gate controlled boost right at 6#. I have a strange sync issue I can't figure out, so my real-time logging wasn't working, and I didn't beat on it that much.

That being said, I need to finish the onboard air system and start playing with the boost control. Might throw it on the rollers the weekend after this coming one.
