Quick glance at the schematics says it powers all the turbo solenoids, the BAC, and the OMP. I may have missed something though.

That switched 12V is a great source for power when you install a wideband... Quick easy, and right there... (edit)


I don't *mind* wiring... Just really time consuming... I just went in a hacked mine all to pieces, with just the photo of which plugs were which..

I just don't like redoing a harness (de-pinning entirely) and using shitty quality supplies to wrap it back up... But I'm not baller enough for 4:1 raychem wrap yet, so tiawan crap it is... (for now)


One off question...

Would silicone wire rated for 200*C be high enough temp to use for a harness?

Friend has a hobby connection that can get high qaility, high strand wire (looks like hairs it's so fine) silicone covered wire...

I want to build/redo my whole harness with it soon-ish... Any thoughts?

I really need to start wearing my glasses... I thought that was a reflection from the flash :icon_no2:

Ah! Good call Jon. Glad I didn't de pin it yet. I'll trim the wire down but I'll leave enough that it's easy to get t to use for all my aftermarket key on ignition sources


And what I've heard is good for harnesses is that friction tape. Supposed to insulate the wires well. I haven't tried to ind any locally but like everything else, it is available online

Actually, the first tell for me was his talking about grounding the BAC. :suspect:

TitaniumTT 09-24-2012 10:02 PM

I stopped really paying attention to the details after he was talking about removing it :suspect::rofl:

No, just no.

Do you remember what you did with the ISC ground at all? because it is the same one. Worst case I just do whatever you've done but bypassing the ISC plug. I assume you've soldered it somewhere?

I'd tell you I didn't have to solder it or do anything else with it because I didn't remove it, but it looks like things are already sorted out lol.

Care to suggest an alternative?

I'm not Brian but I know what he's going to say and I agree completely: Raychem DR-25.

Or Raceline 150. It has most of the same mil spec ratings, 2:1, it is a bit thicker and doesn't really look as nice as DR-25 but needing quality and price conscious, it's the way to go.
