Wire tucking is the sex: part 5

[Legend_master]

It's freaking alive, everything works except the drivers side headlight will not pop up. I'm sure it's a loose wire or something. I got he car to crank up no problem, runs smooth! All I need now is body work, And to finish up the turbo setup.

[Tdurr]

[labeledsk8r]

[Legend_master]

Thanks!

woot your not dead lol, lets see some updated pics of the turbo

yes, yes I'm still alive lol. Turbo still looks identical to what it did in the first pic. I might pull the car out when it's sunny and clean it up a bit and take pics.

True time took a year, but actual work time was about 6-7 hours.

[MessyHonda]

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Glad to hear you got it up and running... Must be nice to finally have the tuck done. Should be awesome once you get the turbo setup running.

nice work man! i know what u mean when u say the actual working time is like 24 1/2 times shorter than the actual first start up!

for a/c box, i used the empty space to mount the brake prop. valve and lines.







the first test fit!

[Rendon LX-i]

DAMN ....love that

ware did u put te battery?
trunk?

or did u put it someware else?

i put mine in the trunk only because i have a 100 fared cap. for my amp and i figured the draw would be less if it was charged instantly with the amp only 9 inches away
this was a pic before i hid the wires

[LX-incredible]

Damn dude, prop valve under the dash? Crazy!

How did you route the brake lines for the front?

Bay looks simple and clean as hell, just need to touch up that rust spot where the battery was.

the brake lines were a lil pain in the ass but i routed them behind the dash against the firewall and then out through the lower corner of the kick panels. they come out mid way through the wheel well. httnever mind the leak u see on the fitting, that was a test fit. the wells are rubberized and cleared now!

as far as the rust spot, i am just waitin to save up some cash to get her painted

The turbo is a bit from finished, need piping, new bov, new waist gate, and a better down pipe. I still need to hook up the e-manage to.

Thats a lot of tucking, i don't think i'm gonna take it to that level LOL. Nice swap tho, once it's painted it will look great.

I put mine in the trunk, I just wanted it out of the engine bay.

Well, that's definitely a first. Looks like you did it right, with the lower part of the condenser housing to catch the fluid if it ever leaks.

[MessyHonda]

you need to put that battery in a proper box bolted to the trunk floor, in a wreck that plastic box will tear loose and you'll have a battery come through the back seats. it's happened to a lot of people and a lot of people have died from boxes like that. think how much force a 40 pound battery has traveling at even 40 mph in a sudden stop, it's thousands of pounds of force, will rip through that back seat like paper.

it looks like the battery is not even in the box but in the side pocket ^ unless he has 2

well lets not whore up the thread too much, I wish i could find the video where they crash tested a car with a battery box like that, the damage was unreal inside of the car, bent up the drivers seat and everything.

[b20a86lude]

dude that is super awsome please be more detailed where did u put those wires

[JFern]

It's like deja vu! (remembers what lost said about my own battery setup...) but Lost is very much correct, (though i have the same battery box, i modified it heavily with metal plates and screws threw the bottom to prevent such a projectile during a crash), that battery box is a pos and not suitable for a crash (im saving for a metal one currently, or i might just make one).

Legend: Thanks for the time frame ^_^ that tuck job is fucking sick, prop valve in the dash? hell yea im gonna!! im definitely going to do this down the line because that looks CLEAN

sorry for the late reply, my computer took a shit on me. as far as the battery, yeah i know. but that strap you see goes under the box and through the board and then through 2 metal brackets i welding to the steel body itslef. i am planning to move it soon though. that second battery you see a 100 fared capacitor.
