I really enjoy your build! Great looking car and hood to know about the Vamos rear DS loop possibly interfering with the new sub. I am going that route soon and have the loop already.
I have one for sale that's never been installed. Opted to go with Bobby's front subframe instead so this won't work for my application. DM me if interested.
Bobby,
The 4 point brace is a complete redesign from the one I got from you a while back that will only work on the stock subframe correct? If so...anybody not interested in the front subframe but wants a 4 point, lemme know! Lol. I guess I'll be ordering your front subframe to go along with...
I am definitely following your build. As an engineer, I always appreciate when people think outside the box and push the envelope. Really interested to see what you guys do with the front end though as I completely agree with Bobby. Keep the updates coming!
Welcome to the group and can't thank you enough for offering this!
Few questions. I run a 98 GSX for reference and have been running a standard yellow Koni with Eibach spring.
1) What kind if a price range are these sitting at? I know this can be a loaded question as options and customizations...
Has anyone been able to get in contact with Sheridan Engineering lately? I needed to order some engine harness plugs and have sent some emails with no response? All that's listed on his website is the company email so not sure what route to take.
Thank in advance
I'll +1 on the stock replacement pieces if you make those! my originals broke and even the new-ish ones I bought are broken, just not as bad. If you make a 3D printed part out of ADA I'd be down to buy!
I'm trying to figure out a few things. I've converted to a Haltech Sport 1000, custom engine bay harness, using the 2gb TPS on a S90 TB. I want to keep my cruise control but haven't had the ability to test everything together. My main question is: the built in IPS in the TPS sensor ties into the...
There seem to be a good amount of people here that have installed these and I was hoping to get some insight on how the routing of the wiring was done with the V3. Does it come out of the backside of the timing area like the 2g's or does the wiring come out of the front where the oil filter is...
I had done this a few years back and was also worried about the weight. So I added a 90* 1in x 1in aluminum angle and riveted it in place. It has seemed to support my fuel sump setup, battery (located in the center), and woofer box when I have it in lol. Just an idea if anyone was needing it!
Odd question, and since I am not in front of the car I cannot check myself, but would someone be able to report back with how think the front bumper is (specifically the lower lip area) in mm.
Thanks in advance!

These things will be a life saver once I get them installed! So awesome that you did an upfront buy to help people out and I hope more see the benefits from this! Such a small thing that can have a large impact.
I'm surprised no one mentioned this yet but with high oil pressure, make sure you're not running the pan low until you figure out what's going on. These engines notoriously hold a lot of oil high up in the head and don't drain properly. I've done the Kiggly HLA on the head as well as the oil...
Depending on budget, there are a lot of great options that have already been mentioned. I have 5 gauges (3 pillar , 2 frog eye) that I use:
Defi D'link w/controller - boost, oil pressure, fuel pressure
AEM wideband
Stewart Warner shift guage
Good thing about the Defi guages is you can daisy...
I opted for the 1 wire 200 Amp as well. Made it extremely easy to do considering my wire tuck. This is by far the best alternator I've had in the Eclipse. My main concern was the swap to EHPS (Electro-Hydro Power Steering) system was going to draw too much in a lower amperage setup near idle and...
Corey, the washing part is a pain; as expected. I have a thick mat I lay over the engine so water doesn't pool on the VC or sit on the mani. The waxing is a bit different. They angle of the louvers aren't so extreme of an angle you cant get the pad in there, but you do have to do it backwards if...
Just wanted to give you some motivation on the hood louvers. I have never seen another hood like mine and also never had any heating issues with it. I run a pretty big DVDT FMIC, A/C condenser and aluminum radiator. I will say that the cost to have it done is pricey. I've asked a few companies...
I don't have a picture of it but since I have my battery relocated to the trunk, I rewired from the alternator back. I used (I think) 1/0 welding wire. Probably a bit overkill but the outer protective coating in the engine bay is what I was considering. When you run any kind of wire next to a...
Ripper,
After years of fabbing and modifying, I can tell you a sharpie is your best friend! So that I knew where to clearance, I literally colored the area's I thought were hitting and got it mounted as best as possible then moved it up and down a bit to "etch" the sharpie area. This told me...
I'm glad I was able to help you guys out with this!
DJ,
Yes, the stock power steering pump should fit without an issue as the turnbuckle sits in the same position as the stock one. Obviously I haven't fit it with it due to my electronic power steering setup, but I don't see a problem with it...
I wanted to keep my A/C. I live in Arizona and having A/C is a big deal! As for heat, the mani will be coated and I can always build a shield if I need to. This was just an alternative for those wanting stock location.
Hey guys,
Just wanted to put an update in here for those that are doing this swap. I converted my system to the 200 AMP 1 wire self exciting alt from motorcityreman. I'm running a high amp EHPS system with a few other things so wanted the high amp output. I also didn't like the idea or look of...
Hey guys,
Got another wiring question. Been a while since I pulled all the wiring and car isn't at the house but all the wiring is. My question s on the main fuse box with specifically headlight wiring. I've rewired the box to supply the main 40 amp headlamp fuse for the headlamp relay (+12V...
I was hoping you'd be the one to chime in. I've seen a few of your post and liked your explanations. I knew the stock fans were 3 speeds and the mt and auto use different settings etc.
So for what I'm wanting to do:
I'm using the stock 4 pin relays to control 2 spal fans. (Took out the 5 fan...
I have a defi-link system that reads fuel pressure but also need my haltech to read the same fuel pressure. I know there are 3 wires for these sensors (power, ground, signal). Could I just tap the signal wire from the defi sensor into the AVI input on my haltech? I don't want to run a T for 2...
Hey guys, so I've got a question related to the wiring itself. I've deleted most of the stock wiring for the fans and am wiring my Spal fans to turn on with my haltech at different degrees. Problem is, the harness was pulled while the car wasn't running so I can't test for ground/switched...
My venting on my hood is so extreme that there are 5 rows of louvers. I don't have a single large hole like the vent here, but a large amount of smaller ones. I figured while driving, a coated mani shouldn't be effected but if I ever stop and it's raining I'll have to use a waterproof "blanket"...
No I ditched the boxes and made my own grounds. I actually made a total of 3 harnesses in the front. I made an engine harness and right/left fender harnesses. Knock sensor you don't need using E85 and I don't really plan on running regular fuel. O2 sensors are gone since I'm using an AEM WB. The...
Didn't know if you had received or how much farther you've gotten on your harness 303_2G. You can ditch the noise thing attached to your stock IM as you don't really need it. I believe it was to help cancel engine noise being heard in the radio but I've never heard anything come out of mine...
