 Good stuff, I'll be following suit shortly  Once I get this timing situation done (Would have been done tonight if I didn't crank the idler pulley down to hard, and turn the crank skipping the belt and messing up TDC), and the engine button'ed up I'll jump back on those relays. I was going to use a programmable, but there are none out there that can handle the amps going through these relays. So going to buy a pretty box for them, and get the wiring going soon. Less than 2 weeks. This post has been edited by rave2n: Aug 8, 2012 - 6:43 PM |

*UPDATE 08-13-12*
So the mail man is been generous these last couple of days delivering part after part after part. I recieved my heat exchanger, water pump, and cooling fans. Sadly to say the water pump is a lot smaller than I orginally expected, wondering if I in fact got the right? Water Pump    Cooling Fans    Heat Exchanger   I also took time and got the fans mounted on the exchanger. Came out pretty well If I do say so myself      This post has been edited by SexciCelicaChikk: Aug 13, 2012 - 4:28 PM --------------------  |

Test fitted the heat exchanger today, texted the cooling fans. The fittment is spot on, will probably need to use all thread with nuts on each side of the mounting tabs of the heat exchanger. One side to mark placement, and other side to secure the exchanger. Also got the intercooler water pump and cooling fans wired up to my "ACC" wire, so when the vehicle electronics turned on the water pump automaticly starts pumping and cooling fans automaticly starts cooling. Next on the list is to do is connect the water lines from the TMIC to the pump, exchanger, and back to the TMIC.

*UPDATE 08-15-12*
Got my wiring harness in today!!!!!! Thanks again pipes. Spent most of the day cutting and splicing. But got the harness, cooling, fans, and intercooler water pump all wired up. she is about 86% done now. All thats left is purchasing an injector pump relay pack, bolting the 3sfe a/c compressor to the block if i can ever figure out how, attaching my hoses from the exchanger to the TMIC, filling the engine, the radiator, TMIC, and correcting any code 54's I might have. More updates soon to come. As always STAY TUNED!!!!!!!!!!!!! -------------------- From Japan to Texas my st202 follows me.

Hey everyone, I've missed you all so much and figure I'd give you an update from afghanistan. I just purchased the final parts to my suspension so now that aspect is complete. A set of ST Sway Bars front and rear. Now I just gotta get home and install them.
