More updates as so had a good week off and 7 days off for some work.
Let me tell you working on your car in a 10x30 storage facility in summer on the MS Gulf Coast it gets 🔥. 120 degrees in the storage but I trudge on. 😂😜🤕
Finally got to see the Quaife lsd and so ready to install this and drive it but need a motor too. 😂😉
I also had the battery out and ecu for doing some wiring of the various gauges and fans I need and figured as I put it all back together It take the 2014 Turbo Spec-R ecu and plug it in to see what she does In the Accent.
Cranked the car and it started right up and idled fine for the most part. Blipped the throttle and I was doing the happy dance as I now knew the immobilizer would not be a problem and everything functions with the Turbo ECU.
I swapped the Accent ECU back of course.
Got a couple of Velociraptor stickers and front grill ornament installed and really like the looks of it. These will tell of what lurks under the hood when the car is done. 😈🤫
I finally wired in the fan for the Setrab oil cooler and installed a lighted led switch into the switch box and it integrated nicely. 👍
The switch box is now wired as well so I can use it for the gauges being installed.
I also mounted two more of the gauge pods to the a-pillar and there's plenty of room for wires and even has a channel going straight down under the dash.
I didn't want to go with the 'me too' gauge pods you see on so many cars and kept it simple and low profile.
It may not seem like a lot of work but you've got to remember that properly done wiring is soldered and heat shrunk and where needed split loom throughout the under hood compartment. It also takes forever to figure where you're going to run you're wires too.
I also went through the trouble of using multi-pin quick connects for under the dash so it makes it easy to tear down the dash when needed. All connections wired and heat shrunk.
Last picture of my bae's. 😍🔥😉
