Man! That's a lot a work.
Now, that's dedication for excellence:icon_tup:

Looking great man, very impressive.

Thanks Guys, still a lot of work to do but hoping to be done soon.

It's all about the details man. Where are you mounting the boost controller?

Yup it definitely is, that's why this is taking so long.

I'm mounting the Boost Controller Unit under the Dash and the Display on a Proclip

Mazda RX 8 - 2004-2008 - ProClip Angled Mount - ProClip Car Mounts for Mobile Phones, Tablet, and Handheld Devices

wont be long till we start it up... getting excited for you brah

Awesome, I use that same proclip mount for the Cobb. That is a good mount.

Hopefully....Me too I can't wait to drive it again, I miss her :lol2:

Yea it's a nice little mount and angles it towards the driver perfectly. I figured it was a good and somewhat discrete mounting position.

Good work kma!

Thanks Monchie

Looking good! :icon_tup::icon_tup:

Thanks Steve

Fantastic work kma!

would love more details on how you did the battery harness

Thanks

Battery Harness was completely removed from the car, stripped down and all the wires were individually re-sleeved.

Battery is mounted in the trunk with a 150amp Circuit Breaker on the Positive Wire, wires are ran under the car along the fuel/brake lines. There's one extra slot that the Positive wire is run through, Negative is zip tied up.

Positive is 2ga wire and Negative is 4ga wire to run the ground back to the front of the car.

There's a 60amp AGU fuse on the Positive EPS(Electronic Power Steering) wire.

If you have any specific questions just ask.

That's everything I needed, thx!

again awesome build!

No problem, Thanks

I got the Injectors back today and I also received my powder coat so I have to try to make it over to a friends house to get the powder coating done this weekend.

I reinstalled the Injectors tonight, while doing so I managed to lose one of the small e-clips that holds the actuator rod to the VDI so I have to go pick one up from the hardware store.

Finally got the Manifold back from Ceramic Coating last night.

I'm also working on a Custom Canister Setup and Bracket that should turn out really nice.

Things are finally coming together :D:

Just a small update, I got called into work today so I couldn't get done as much as I wanted...

oh god that wiring looks like a nightmare... I did a wire tuck/rewired an FD but the 8 Looks way worse with the huge fuse box up front...

looking good!

It's a LOT of wiring, the main bundle that comes through the firewall has over 100 wires in it, let's just say I'm extremely glad that I didn't have to cut them to accomplish what I wanted.

It has been a lot of work, but hopefully the result is all worth it. I just realized today I've used over 75ft of wire sleeving already! :shocking:

I got bored one night last week and Polished the SSV and VDI actuators
Attachment 228756

Lost one of the damn e-clips that hold on the SSV and VDI Actuators so I had to buy more, of course while putting some things back together I found the one I lost.

Nice man, I'm digging the vacuum lines. How much you want for that tray? :)

Thanks, That one's definitely not for sale I need to get this car done! lol

I can make you one when I'm done though.

Nice updates. I am in the process of figuring out a tray setup also!
