What throttle cable is that that you are using there? It looks nice and perfectly short!! Also, sick build man. Good stinking work. Any updates?

I will be in tomorrow for this screaming deal!! I need a 2g non-cruise cable also.

Here's a semi visual of how my alternator setup goes:[Alternator (4 White Wires)]-->[Fusebox through stock 100AMP fuse]-->[white wires that originally connected directly to the battery]-->[200AMP ANL Fuse]-->4ga wire to the trunk to [140AMP Circuit Breaker]-->4ga wire to batterySo, I am...

I have my OEM 96-98 Galant alternator on my 2g wired stock to the fusebox through the stock alternator fuse then to a 200amp ANL fuse to 4ga wire to 140amp circuit breaker then to the battery which is in the trunk. Tonight, while out on a cruise, I started tripping the circuit breaker every few...

I've been using the stock lug nuts on my 98 GSX with EVO8 wheels for years now with no issues.

Thank you for the very well informed reply. I will use the pro classic hose and some of that heat protecting stuff that you linked to. I only have maybe 2ft max that would be in close proximity to the turbo and exhaust.

I am just wondering that if use Russell ProClassic hose (black nylon braided stuff) for my water supply and return on my turbo, will it be strong enough to withstand the heat created by the turbo? I know the inside of the hose can handle up to 300* but I'm referring to the outside as the hose...

How about a plug for where the engine harness comes through?

I am getting some final build details worked out on my 2g and I am wondering where to source rubber grommets to plug a few holes that are in the engine bay. Mainly, I am looking to plug the original big engine harness hole, wiper hole, AC box drain hole, and maybe one more that I can't think of...

Where are you ordering your GCs and Konis from? Also, are you going with the DG style upper mounts or, if not, what are you doing for upper mounts in the front?

2gb Eclipse, 2gb Talon, 1ga Talon. In that order.

Knowing that circuit breakers degrade over time, would there be any safe way of running my main line and my alternator line without circuit breakers?I did end up wiring a 200amp fuse in my alternator to battery line and left the stock alternator fuse as well. I figure the higher amp the...

Thanks for the great info! I figure I have to have some sort of circuit protection on the main line so I may toss just a 200amp cb in there and call it a day. My main line is essentially the same as the famous turbosax2 style.I'm thinking of adding a few ground from engine to chassis and...

There will be one 0/1 gauge wire as the main going from the battery to the distribution block in the engine bay. From that distribution block I will be powering everything in the fusebox, my 3 prosport gauges, 2 fans, and the starter. The alternator line will be completely separate from the main...

I found that my fans pull 7amps a piece. I'm not sure on the accuracy of that but its as close to a real number as I can get. I also have 3 gauges powered from the battery, the fusebox with everything minus ac, abs, and cruise, and stock 2g starter. Any rough estimates on how many amperes that...

Awesome man! Thank you for the educated reply indeed. So, if I leave the stock 100a Alternator fuse and drop the additional inline fuse and add a Circuit breaker close to the battery, that would work just fine?Lastly, on my main battery line, I will have only the fusebox, starter, fans, and...

I will be relocating my battery to the trunk in my 2g and just have a quick question on my Alternator wiring plans. I am running the 96amp Alternator from the Galant and will be running the alternator wires from the fusebox through a 4ga wire directly to the battery. In that line, I plan on...

I am to the point now that I can put the fusebox back in the car. I have deleted everything that I needed to and now I've been struggling to design a system of getting it back in the car. So, with this post, I'm trying to gather ideas as to how you've gotten it back into the car. I have yet...

Thank you for the clarification sir. You and your brother are a true gift to the DSM community we have here.Last question I have here before I get blasting on this battery relocation. I plan on powering my Autometer gauges, slim fans, and HID ballasts each with their own, dedicated relay and...

I am in the process of putting together a battery relocation kit very similar to your brothers and I am having trouble making a decision on the main power wires from battery to alternator and from battery to distribution block. We are indeed running the Saturn 200amp alternator and, in the...

Thanks man, I have been using your brothers post like gold to work through my 2 cars. Where though, inside the car, did he mount the distribution block? My fusebox will be in the glove box and I have 3 other accessories that will be powered directly off the battery as well.

I am relocating the fusebox to the glovebox in my 2g and I have my battery in the trunk. How are you guys getting power from the battery to the fusebox and starter and keeping all of the power distribution efforts inside of the car?

I am in the process of doing a major wire tuck and delete on both my 2g fusebox harness and my engine harness. So, I want it to be cleanest possible set up there is and what I would like to do is put a big plug on the firewall where the stock engine harness traveled through so I can basically...

I have removed everything AC related on all of my 2g's except the big box inside the car. Is it possible to remove this without interfering with the HVAC controls and heater blower? WHat I am trying to do is remove that big firewall AC connection that sticks out into the engine bag on my 2g...

Thanks for all of the replies everyone. I just hate pounding on anything in my car with a hammer. I will look into that tool too!!

On a 2g DSM or pretty much any car in general, what is the proper method of breaking a ball joint loose besides wacking it with a big hammer? I know there has to be a proper tool of some sort. I have always used a pickle fork and have always destroyed the boots so guys and gals, what's the...

Do you have any pics of your install or a parts list? I would greatly appreciate anything you can offer!! Thank You!!

Has anyone rerouted their power steering lines on a 2g to and from the rack to get the lines out of the way a bit and off the strut tower? I hate having the lines going right over the strut tower and badly want to reroute them. I know the easiest way to reroute the lines is to eliminate power...

Just got done installing an AEM Digital Oil Pressure gauge with the sensor getting it's data from the head port on a stock 2g 7bolt. My question is should I expect the same pressure as you get at the OFH? On my car (not the one in question), I get between 85-100psi when bouncing off off the...

I have had a prosport water temp gauge in my car for some time now and figured I would finally ask why it reads lower than my ECU. Basically, the Prosport gauge reads about 20* lower than the ECU. Now, could this be because of where I have the sensor? On my 2g, I have the Prosport sensor in...

Got done installing my new engine/clutch combo and I took it for a spin. The clutch engages a bit too high for my liking and I am wondering how to make it engage at a lower pedal height. I have not adjusted the master cylinder per the Jacks Transmission yet also so maybe that will do the...

I have 2 slim fans, one 14" and one 12" that I want both to come on from the signal from the ECU in my 2g. Can I wire both my radiator side and a/c side slime fan to just the radiator side connector? Will they stock wiring be enough to handle the additional power draw?

Thank you for the response! Where does pin 58 go to in the engine bay?

Quick run down of what I'm doing. I am running a 95-96 CAS and CPS and need to wire it in a 97-99 harness. The 95-96 harness gives power and ground to both CAS and CPS independently I believe. So, can I power both of them from the same source in the 98 harness? The CPS in the 98 harness has a...

Does anyone know where the 2g ECU gets its tach signal for the cluster is? I know that the PIN in the ECU is 73 but where does that pin go to? Is it from the CAS or CPS or combination of the two?

How do you wire it the CAS and CPS into the 97-99 harness? That's the question. How many wires does a stock 97-99 CAS have? 3 or 4?

I am also doing the same exact thing so if anyone could offer thoughts I would greatly appreciate it!!

I didn't replace all of the bulbs in the cluster at all. I can't imagine that all the bulbs in the cluster could have blown at once though. Maybe I will check that out. But everything is out on the whole circuit.

Yes there is. There is power on both sides of the fuse when it's plugged it but not when the fuse is not plugged in. Only one side has power I assume, obviously, that the fuse carries the power across itself and back into the wiring.There is voltage on both sides of the fuse indeed as...

Yes I did. Its basically a blade connection into the fuse slot then you put the fuse in the ampmeter and turn it on to read the amps.Right here: Electronic Specialties 306B - 30 Amp Fuse Buddy Tester - ATC Blade

Using this method, what happens if I get power to the fuse and tested it with a test light but using a multimeter and a AMP tester I get 0 amps? Pulled all of the bulbs and replaced all of the bulbs. The cluster lights never came on with all of the bulbs pulled at all.

Well the dimmer switch wasn't my problem but I like the new black one I picked up today, thanks Hugh! Here is a run down of everything I've got up to this point...-No taillights, gauge cluster lights, front side marker lights, and my prosport gauges are NOT changing color (wired into the...

I have already read through many posts about this standard issue. I am having the no taillights, no cluster lights problem in my car with a few twists. First, My "tail" fuse and all other fuses are good and not blowing. Second, the dimmer switch checks out ok. Third, the low washer fluid...

I recently did a full ABS delete on my 2g AWD and I made all new brake lines all around everywhere. Now, if I slam on the brakes my passengers side caliper sticks so bad that I have to pull over and unstick it. Any thoughts as to why the caliper would be sticking?I thoroughly greased the...

I will second that yes indeed you have an EPROM there. Also, looks like tons of fun!!

What would cause the radiator cap to leak? I just topped off my coolant today and now coolant is leaking out of the radiator cap. My overflow is about half an inch over the max line as well. Should I empty it out a bit? I am afraid to drive my car if the cap is leaking. Also, I know the...

Do you have any pics of how much you ported?

I am looking for pictures of radiator ducting you have made to keep those coolant temps down!! I have a 2ga that I want to make some ducting for and I want to get a few ideas together. Thank You!!

I am using the SBR 16g install kit that came with the SS line to feed from the OFH so what restrictor do I need? I was thinking .080?

I am fairly worried about blowing the seals in my turbo with this high oil pressure. I have a MHI 16g and from what I remember it seemed to have a restrictor in the CHRA of the oil feed. The hole in the CHRA where oil flow into seemed tiny and looks as if it is a restrictor. Any truth to that?
