Street Build Project 1g (NBA DSM)

Great so know i know what sensors i need to get sorta of, i was wondering how we are going to monitor speed. I thought about gps with halech but the montero is available too. Really like the mounting of the carbon. Cant wait for you to get it all dialed in.

So I finally got the Haltech / engine harness complete. Next on the list is to tap into the dash/gauge cluster harness and get that terminated for a digital dash.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Is coming along quite nicely love the decorations in the background.

 

[Moonlight GSX]

Opted for the Haltech eh? You might also look into the Bosch DBW TB, assuming your Haltech provides DBW.

 

[jamel16]

Yeah, Haltech had a couple more features I wanted. DBW is already wired in ready to go.

 

[Moonlight GSX]

Once it is all said and done you'll have essentially a new car, literally.

What features where you looking for, if you don't mind me asking?

Honestly it was the WiFi capabilities and the integrated wideband control.

Mic drop.

Fair enough, well looking forward to seeing the end results.

 

[92AWDHX40]

The wideband maps sensor and wifi is one of the many reasons I purchased mine.

Update: So I finally got the Evo 2 manifold and Bosch 68mm throttle body installed with AO-Customs gaskets. I also got the Bosch knock sensor installed. I would have done more but the cold garage was unbearable. Instead I decided to help a friend out with his Haltech harness. I will say the Haltech terminated harness is well built and should be pretty simple to wire up.

This is the start of Vic’s harness and fuse box.

 

[Moonlight GSX]

Not many can say they take pride in their electrical work as many try to avoid it at all cost... looking good sir, looking good.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Thanks man your set looks good with the evo im.

 

[jamel16]

Update: So I have religiously been working on Vic’s Haltech harness and it is finally complete. I just need to do some more testing and it will be shipped off. Working with the terminated harness was pretty straight forward , biggest pain was routing.

 

[Jacob5se]

That's a beautiful harness, I have tremendous respect for people who can do them this nice. I attempted this once (although it was mainly reloom, not harness building) and it's really hard to do this good.

 

[jamel16]

Update: So due to my boredom and this Virginia ice storm, I decided to work on the car . Only thing is the garage was unbearable and I wasn’t going in there. I have always wanted to try out ohm racing heat shrink that’s an alternative to ray-chem dr-25. So yes I built another harness. I will say the heat shrink is thick and does take some heat to form, but remains very flexible. I am pleased with the outcome and will use again in the future.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Another one from scratch or just wrapped it up with new shrink. Is the shrink lined with glue . It looks thicker. Perhaps more durable for the engine bay

It’s from scratch, yeah I tried out a transition heat shrink boot. That part of the harness is thicker, but it also cuts down on the flexibility. The ohm-racing shrink is not lined in glue, but fuel resistant.

Im boxing up your Haltech items, will most likely get them out next week. I will let you know the shipping rate.

 

[92AWDHX40]

I forgot you are building your from scratch. How was the different from mine from yours as you building two now. Any pros or cons

No worries it's freezing here haven't done anything with the dsm. Just ordered a hood . I couldn't miss out solved my latch issues and I have several hoods just not worth painting do you need to test it out with the ecu. Or ic7

The terminated harness is well worth it. If I was to do it again , I would buy the terminated harness, cut it in half and then add the quick disconnect.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Sweet I was curious im glad you had the opportunity to do both.

 

[jamel16]

I need to finish ohm testing the harness. You should be good to go with the IC-7 since it’s wired for can bus. You will have to wire in the indicator lights etc.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Yeah its definitely doable I've come this far. Never thought about stand alone or dbw or ic7

 

[jamel16]

Finally got the FP DSM82 turbo back from Ian @Turbo lab of America. The turbo was smoking excessively , so I had a full rebuild done with some upgrades. The smoking was caused by the rear seal area of the turbine shaft being worn out too much. I also had Ian upgrade to a billet GTX compressor wheel and a D5 5+5 turbine shaft assembly. This should definitely improve the turbo efficiency. Time to put it all back together.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Whats the story on that turbo i dont know anything about it specs and performance.
