Yeah, I need to do the tuning in one shot. I would rather work out the problems all at once. Its not the best way to do my break in but I dont feel like flying kane in twice and dont want to drag my build out any longer then i have to.

Well Today I picked up my DD. A 1990 Honda CRX HF with 211k on the od. It needs a break job bad but otherwise works very well.

I've seen how this sort of thing generally goes and if you don't want two trips or more you really need to get any issues sorted before he gets there .....

Not a word on the seats, At this point I am assuming they are hunting down a Himalayan mountain Yeti to make the fabric from.

I have started getting turbo parts in! Pics to fallow soon.

We have the stuff but haven't gotten around to it. My plan is to tackle all that this weekend if I can.

I did the calculations and although I would be ok with doing 4awg I decided on 2awg. I ordered welding cable from Welcome to Cable Yard - Welding Cable and Accessories I used all high-end tsunami terminals and fuse holders.

Both the negative and positive will be run all the way to the front. I may pick up a few trigger diodes and ground the negative cable in a few places along the way. I am currently looking for a slick way to mount the stock terminals and the new wire up. Like maybe some kind of dummy terminals.

A lot of people mentioned the CableYard, but I wasn't sure how their TwinRadaflex stacked up (you need to order like 250' minimum if you want them to custom make you a red Radaflex).

I like the Tsunami terminals since you wont have to worry about crimping on connectors.

the radflex is so nice! we went with the double insulated 4awg welding cable. ordered 65ft for the two of us. it is my plan to use red heat shrink ever few feet to identify the cable as hot.
