I put the new engine in for not the last time, but the last time before it starts.. i think. For now im using the stock clutch flywheel and trans until im ready to get serious and make real power, not putting around the neighborhood. Im quite pleased with how clean it looks in there along with the firewall and all!

All the thinking, all the decisions, all the work, all the clean up. Then you post pics and get zero response... Welcome to the world of "out there" modifications! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Know that many are watching and all are in awe.

Keep up the great work! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Been working a lot lately on the wiring harness. There are a ton of wires that go into a car, im learning this as i add them all in from scratch. Luckily im using a pdm so i dont have to wire in a ton of relays and everything is computer controlled and communicates through CAN. The other thing ive learned is how god dang expensive wiring stuff is. I’ve probably spent about 1000 on just supplies. Not to mention the ecu and pdm. I must say so far ive been completely impressed with everything ive got from haltech. They have a wealth of information for subaru stuff, their products are good, and their tuning program is easy to use. In fact i already have the base map made for it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
getting this motor started is the priority and its close.

Here you can see i made a mock up harness out of rope and labeled all the connectors so i can simply make up the engine harness outside the car in the comfort of a chair.

I actually found I really enjoyed doing my harness build. Hope you do, too. And I hear you on the "not cheap" part. But best not to scrimp on stuff that can cause reliability issues... and worse.
Looking forward to seeing the finished product! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

It is super enjoyable! Wiring scares most people but i am learning so much its hard to not like it. Its a very mental task… i like those.

I finished my engine harness! This was a huge step i wanted to make. I knew nothing about wiring to start but with enough time research and money i made my dream a reality. I hit all the notes i wanted to: Shrink boots, DR-25 heat shrink, yellow labels, and nice to look at!
I started with the previously stated rope harness, laid out the wires on top and split them up, ran all the grounds and heatshrunk it. Then it was down to installing the connectors with all the wires in the correct position (hope you checked before using $70 in heatshrink), and adding pins and plugs. Does that sound easy? Well it wasn’t but it sure was fun from plan to execution, it was a cool task that keeps you busy!Attached Image

No tape wrap or electrical tape whatsoever just kapton. Its a clear yellowish real thin tape to bundle wires.
