Cerberus Part II!

[WE3RX7]

Looks good.... got a finished shot of that armrest?

[vex]

It's still under construction. I'll probably have one by the end of the day (wrapping always seems to take forever to me).

[vex]

So I finished up the center console and the arm rest. Here's the pictures. A keen eye will note that I no longer have the AAS switch, and I do have plans for that area; but for right now it's just black acrylic.

[vex]

Oh Hai Pictures:

[vex]

so... I did a test run

Everything works. That's a good sign right?

Looks Good! The dash indication for all that information must be nice.

[vex]

It's pretty cool... I've only setup two pages on the dash, but it is awesome so far. I have to setup the warning lights to function how I want (I'm thinking oil pressure, coolant temp, Fuel pressure, EGT's, and AFR's), but that will come in time. I'm just chomping at the bit to get the car up and running now.

[vex]

Hey! Look! I did something that doesn't involve wiring:

[vex]

Working on the engine harness. Have wired up EGT's WBO2, MAP, TPS, CTS, and the ATS. I will be wiring a little more tonight, but it's getting pretty tiring... and I still need to crimp the cabin side of things.

[vex]

So I thought I was half way done with the harness... Only to see the vehicle speed sensor not wired in. Do'h!

[vex]

Almost done with the cannon plug crimping. Just need to crimp in 13 more wires on the cabin side and I'll be ready to start arranging the leads and crimping them to the sensors. Get excite.

Just out of curiosity what's the best thing to wrap the engine harness in?

[vex]

Cannon plug is crimped (as much as I'm going to do for now). New radio holder/bracket is installed... Broke my center vents; which means I'll have to order some new ones later on. Boxes are wired up and installed. Ordered some silicon and couplers to better handle the BAC valve and what not. Still have a few odds and ends to button up, but should be good... I think? Hopefully tuning by the end of the week (just have to make sure I get all the parts in).

[vex]

My car has decided to nickel and dime me on the engine harness. I'm now waiting on:
the raychem
Deutsch connectors
EV1 Injector Crimps

I'm also waiting on a silicon elbow which should have been delivered today... but has yet to show up.

I've been hunting some of those things locally in an attempt to get it all without shipping or waiting. The long and short of it is... I've stalled on the project a week before crunch time. If I get lucky and get those things before the end of the week I should be tuning it on Friday. In the mean time here are some pictures of the intake I sort of re-did to make due until I make a completely new intake.

[vex]

Update: The things came in that week, but so did a butt load of tests. Needless to say I didn't finish in time.

In other news I've drilled and tapped the intake manifold for the new ATS, I've also trouble shot an issue with my WB. Note: when you work with shielded wire make sure to peel back and remove enough of the shielding as not to accidentally crimp the shielding to the connector and prematurely ground out the signal.

I'm also trying to figure out how to display the EGT's on the IQ3. I'll be posting hopefully good news later this week about the car being up and running and beginning the tuning process.

[vex]

Okay, update time:

I had to put the project on hold while I did finals, which paid off rather well. It looks like I passed all my classes which means I'm down to 3 classes I need to take for an entire year next year. As it stands that means my car got relegated to the back burner during those two weeks. I'm now in the process of double checking everything and getting it ready to tune.

I've begun the preliminary cranking and have built up oil pressure so I know that the oil pressure sensor and scavenge pump are working correctly (I've wired in the scavenge pump to turn on when I turn the car on). I also know that both the home and trigger signals are getting to the ECU without issue and watched the counter increase as I built up oil pressure.

I still need to check timing, but that is rather difficult when you're doing this by yourself. Will be posting throughout the day to update the forum as it goes.
