Default Just an update to the DELTEQ setup.. PICS

Well,
I finally got the DELTEQ setup wired completely. The wiring job coming off the DIS coils looks as good as any factory OEM process. It took forever to cut length, solder, heat-shrink and loom the setup to look factory, but I am more than pleased with the final results! I also made a custom black powdercoat aluminum plate to mount the MSD DIS 4 and both MSD tach inter-rupters. Alot of thought went into this setup to make it look as if everything is a factory location. If anyone else is doing a similar DELTEQ setup you need to look at this in person, it will save you a bunch of time and really clean up the install. I even went to the trouble of looming the DIS 4 wiring down front fender. You can actually stand over the drivers side fender and make all the adjustment to the top of the MSD DIS 4 box

Here's some pics:

Did you cut the spark plug wires to length of did you buy them that way?

I was thinking about putting my delteq by the radiator because I have my wires running over the intake, but I would not mind having them run behind the intake as you have them.

The coils look like they belong too which is nice. It flows well with such a clean and neat bay!

I hate you for having a sick a** silver WS6

Thanks for all the compliments guys,

ScrminWS6, ( I actually have the ELITE OVC's 9mm that are custom lengths. Actually it took 3 trys to get the wires to the correct length. You could do any number of manufacturers wires and cut them to length, but I preferred someone to do it for me.)

All the hardware and vavlecovers can still be purchased, but the LT4 valvecovers are going for ridiculous amounts of money new. I believe shoebox has a complete brakedown on his site.
