Slogging through the mundane...
Got most of the engine wiring done (at least under the hood). Structuring the wire is by far the most time consuming part of the deal. Making sure that every wire splice is exactly as long as the other conductor so that the wire will bend uniformly. Couple that to the fact that I do stuff twice (or more) if I don't like something, and seemingly I spend all day to do little of nothing.
It looks all tranquil and peaceful-like now. In that wire bundle is the VR signal from the EDIS, power, and ground for the same. CLT temp, MAT, TPS, FIDLE, TACH, water temp, oil press, and six injectors. Version 1 had the injector harness wrapped in about a mile of black tape. I shoulda reminded myself before hand, that I absolutely HATE wires wrapped in black tape. So I cut it all open, and did it over. (one example of me doing something twice). I still have to add the water pump, and the cooling fans. They require a relay, and are wired back into the MS board in a place I'm not yet certain.
On the passenger side I'll run a separate grommet for the A/C compressor, and the electronic boost control solenoid, on the Driver's side, the wires for the WP, Cooling fans, brake light switch, and all of the chassis related junk will come out there.
Counter to the tranquility under the hood, is the mounting Chaos that is starting under the dash.
I figure I'll bite into it a little at a time, and do each area (i.e. the engine bay) one at a time.
Fortunately, I built the dash to be easy to wire. The relay board actually mounts upside down (when it's mounted) that way a fuse can be seen by removing the lower right panel. But until then, I'm able to wire the thing standing up.
Tomorrow won't be so easy.
