Umm no, texas being cold is not global warming, it's the roation of the earth, called seasons.

Maybe that could be a good reason for me to go ahead and pull my A/C... I never thought of all the secondary benefits of no air!

 

[T is for TURBO]

i wish i was but it gets insanley cold down here in Texas during winter, we even get snow/ice storms

BAH! come up here for a couple of days this winter... You'll find out what cold really is
And while your up here, you could relocate my fuse box for me!

 

[mattsGSTeclipse]

Never again will i touch another fuse box ...

Ill definetly do a write up however, i took enough pics for it so if everything goes well ill start on it

 

[mattsGSTeclipse]

nice, I'm thinking about doing the relocation this winter and a write-up would help out a lot.

Screw that, I never use my A/C.... but I sure as hell did when I was stationed there.

On topic though, I've been thinking about doing this for a long time. I'm still gonna have my engine out for a couple months, at least till I get my srb installment. If I ever get my garage cleaned up, I might have to take this project on.

Then i started thinking, i have a 1g CAS laying around, why not just use it? I did some research and it seems as though all thats necessary is the Harness that uses the Crank sensor and CAS to power up the 1g CAS (THanks to flash for pointing this out but NO didnt wire this, it was given to me like this)

Either way i was ALWAYS careful to never scratch the block and layer the floor where it layed

 

[gsxAWDdsm692]

Damn man your puttin' in some WORK

 

[Detective Coating]

Did you just use some good old JB weld for the fitting on the sending unit? How has it held up if you put any pressure through? I am doing the same thing but only want to do it once =P

 

[DSM_PWR]

Havent put any pressure to it yet, but my friend did it in his car and its held up great for months

Redo the wiring on that please. Solder it the right way (many people actually suck at this and really don't know how to solder, amazing eh?) and then get some heat shrink.

If you want to take it a step further, then do fully sheathed, military spec Raychem DR-25 heat shrink. Then it would be absolutely gorgeous!!!

Raychem DR-25 heat shrink: Diesel Resistant Heat Shrink : BuyHeatShrink.com : Adhesive Heat Shrink

 

[gsxAWDdsm692]

Yea, good point flash.

I didn't catch that earlier, looks a bit sloppy.
