So here's why my engine harness is specieal. It plugs into the firewall

Never again will I have to drop a motor in, run a harness, and then put the engine back together. I've gotten spoiled.

Chassis harness run.... top secret, I should even be showing this off.

Oil Coolers installed

Bulkhead fitting for the oil coolers

And the oil coolers plumbed

Tight fitting fitting. 120* I believe. Yes they are run in series and yes I have my reasons for it

Mocal Oil T-Stat

And finally in its new home

Intake piping

I'd say, "look what arrived from the powdercoater," but I am the powdercoater. I leave you all with this teaser pic of a frame I built to mount some "stuff." The stuff will be mounted later today.....

I can stand on the end closest to the motor and only get ~1/2" of deflection out of it. Shit is STRONG. All 6061 AL

I can't wait to see this thing finished. Freaking awesome. That firewall harness connector is genius!

Do you know how much I hate you right now? Just kidding.. I love you, but I hate how poor I am so I can't get my cannon plugs yet

Gank... Actually, I may not do that yet since I don't have the cannon plugs and the hassle of trying to modify that harness to work would piss me off... But some day.

LOL, I just realized we went the same route with the fittings. Even though my car is red, something just irked me about having red and blue (contrasting colors) AN fittings in, and around, my bay and I got a shit-ton of black fittings. I've gone the braided nylon hose route though.

Lets see if Mazda lets me link directly to their jazz.

NoDOHC, how about beating Mazda to the punch with their injector setup on the 16x instead?

+1! I greatly dislike the red/blue combo as well. When I start building my car, it will be all black fittings.

How is it working out? I thought about using that too (for it's sleeper-ness), but I don't have any info on how it would hold up compared to SS braided lines to pressure and temperature.

Its rated for up to 350psi and 300 degrees. I've seen an MR-2 in person that seemed to have no problems running all nylon lines. It's not a rotary but I'd be worried about other things if any of my hoses had to deal with 300 degree fluids, LOL.

I took a pic of it, lemme find it....

EJayCe996 · 10-18-2009, 03:56 PM

Hmmm guess I should have used flash, lol. Sorry you can maybe see but TWO of the lines in that pic.

I HATE those fricken red and blue ones. I have one left on the intake mani for the vac line to the brake booster and I painted that one. They drive me insane. I am so far liking the black nylon braided ones. More flexible, easier to assemble, and cheaper too I believe.

Ahhhh, direct injection. That's the first thing I thought of when he mentioned his new placement for the injectors. but then the rechroming machining etc etc involved would really suck so I guess the next best thing would be the plates. I think it'll be difficult but doable non-the-less. Then again anything is with enough $$$$ tossed at it. Like a 40B for example

I love em. Using them for fuel, coolant, and oil. No complaints whatsoever thus far. The fittings themselves though, I bought the Jegs ones, and have had to replace one already, and one is starting to piss me off.... the one on top of the fuel filter too so it's always getting undone. The retaining wire gets hung-up making it very difficult to thread it on by hand.

That is sexy. I agree, if you're looking at 300* temps, there are other things to be worried about. Under the hood shouldn't get that hot either.
