Stock exhaust we're replacing...
AngryMike fitting up the new stainless steel custom 3" mandrel bent tig-welded exhaust.... Custom tig-welded aluminum intercooler piping with welded-in flange for the Blitz BOV... Working my magic with what that shop left of his wiring harness.... More to come soon!!!

Um.. I said that the saturn manifold is a piece of artwork.. Not worth more than good looks.
I don't make exhaust manifolds.. -------------------- 87 4runner DLX 22re, 5spd, 4.30gr, 4" lift, 30" tires, HID w/ Projectors, 6spkr + sub, custom exhaust, 94 celica leather seats, SR5 gauge cluster and clinometer. Future engine swap... possibly a 2jzge.

A few posts ago, during a discussion about the manifolds, you claimed that you can do much better work with much better results for much cheaper. Since you now say that you don't make exhaust manifolds, I guess we're all a little confused. QUOTE(WannabeGT4 @ Mar 29, 2007 - 2:01 AM) [snapback]540850[/snapback] I thought you routed the harness between the manifold and head like a stock harness? Any reason you stopped doing it that way? That's the way I did mine and it seemed like it was easier than extending all the wires plus it looks just like Toyota did it. That is the way I was doing them for a while, but I discovered when doing a swap in a 5th gen that the JDM harness can actually reach the ECU just fine if you make some slight changes to the harness, and then extend the coil, ignitor, AFM, noise filter, temp sensor, oil sending unit, cold start injector switch, and maybe one or two other things. This ended up being much easier and simpler than taking the whole harness apart and redoing it, but of course, on the 5th gen, the plugs at the fusebox and the interior actually work. On this car, the fusebox and interior connectors had be hacked off the 6th gen harness, and the rest of the harness was MIA. Unable to use parts of it that I normally would, I opted to do the wiring "5th gen style" and wire the 6th gen fusebox and interior connectors directly to the harness. This proved to work quite well and may become my method of choice for doing harnesses in the future. Though, these days, I don't do many 3SGTE harnesses, mostly I do 4AGEs, 2JZGTEs, 1JZGTEs, etc. -Doc This post has been edited by Dr_Tweak: Mar 29, 2007 - 6:19 AM -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
