I had an idea while brainstorming on how to run wires to the 14 pin connector on my suby swap.

My intercooler occupies the space where my battery tray once was before I replaced the suspension console. Why shouldn't I mount my optima where the relay board is on the other side?

It should fit, right? Anyone ever done this? I don't have the motor in the car at the moment. Can a suby guy give me your take on this?

I have the male 14-pin connector to bypass the relay board anyway (still trying to figure that one out). It's probably incredibly simple and I'll figure it out, but the only thing that is confusing me right now is the backup lights.

I removed the relay board.
14 pin connector? Best I can recall, there was only two wires, if that, that needed to pass through.

I was also wondering where the three coolant lines out of the cap connect. I mean, which one goes to to overflow, and such

Silver pipe is the hot air blower from hell.
From 944 blower to heater core into both longs.
Some people think you don't need a heater in California but winter drives home at night, with out the Targa top, are just not the same with out a good heater.

Coolant line are from bottom clockwise: Overflow, radiator burp and (best I recall) turbo.
