More progress made while home on the car and I'll try to keep it short. 😜
After much trying to find a way to go through the firewall without going through the main wiring harness gasket I could not find 1 place to drill a hole.
So I'm relinquished to go old school and run the wires through the gasket. Not what I wanted but it works.
I finally got my main power wire through and hooked up my BlueSea marine distribution block in a great location. Now I'm ready for gauges to be wired and switches. 🙌
I mounted a second fire extinguisher in the car and was inspired by Rennline products and their front seat mounts for Porsche's.
Midd Town Company makes a nice mount which I bought similar to the Rennline and worked perfectly. They're universal so pretty much guaranteed to fit and even though you'd think my feet would be hitting the extinguisher or in the way, it's not.
Git my ECU in but didn't have time to hook it up to see if the engine runs with it in place of the Accent ECU. I'll do that next time as I'm rewriting my main power system for the engine kill switch.
Speaking of kill switch the Flaming River kill switch fit perfectly and works great.
I used a stainless Fender washer and modified it to work in supporting the switch to the bumper nice and snug.
I also had to install a Bussman high current fuse bock for the main power wire to make the NHRA/ IHRA and SCCA techs happy. 😂
I did the same for the alternator cabling but didn't have the time to rework the wiring and get the alternator worked into the switch.
I had to figure out the unusual wiring of the Hyundai way of doing things but it worked out great. All wires crimped, soldered, and heat shrunk with dual wall heat shrink.
For now the switch kills all power when off as long as the engine isn't running.
Now I don't have to constantly pull a battery cable when I leave for a month to drive.
It also offers a nice anti-theft setup since nobody can drive the car without power or a steering wheel. 😂🤷🏼♂️
I will do the alternator side next time I'm home so when the engine is running the kill switch kills ALL power to the car as needed by the sanctioning bodies to be legal.
So little time and so much to do but the final product will be worth it. 😁
