The bracket thingy is the coil igniters....

I cap them, but is recommended to simulate the heater core circuit by a bypass line and is also recommended to place a vent valve (to leave no air trapped).

I got lucky,..car 2500.00, engine with a 100k miles,trany adapter kit,transmission,and harness = 1500.00,.shipping to me 350.00,.then,.Radiator system and lines installed 1300.00,.finally I had to send the harness out to make sure it was terminated correctly,and fan harness that totaled 650.00 ,..So ,..total so far with some Misc. items about 6650.00. over a 2 year period.And I now need a engine mount that will total 300.00,..then exhaust system yet to be fabbed ,I have a 911 banana style muffler I intend to use also,..so now total is about 7K...FM

And Thank U,... 914pipe

when trying to install the fuel pump for my 3.3 build,..I have only found 1 factory wire in that compartment, Do I simply use a ground wire to the lid or body from the fuel pump it self,..?? TIA Frank

I'll look today Frank. Happen to have my fuel pump cover off. Long story involving me dropping my phone down the space between the tank and the body

Oh...Great Thanks !!! Frank

Hi Frank,

I had to take my tank out today, so here's a nice pic for you.

As you can see there is a ground wire connected to the pump, then connected to a spade attached to the body under the tank. If your spade is missing just ground it well to the body.

OH..Ok,..Damn that blows ya had to pull the tank,..damn phones,..!! Thanks,..

I hate to ask I will be needed how to connect fuel lines to engine advice...Soon...Thanks !!!! so much...Frank

No a problem. Very easy to set up the fuel lines. I actually had to pull the tank to put my fresh air box back in. Was able to fish the phone out through the fuel pump hole but could not see the ground wire through it.

took 5 seconds

r towle....Thanks...Iam just not that computor literiate

Click to view attachment I dont know why this oil filter wont fit..!!

it hits the small car bracket and wont line up ??

before pic

Also, this is way to far forward even tho my 901 trans lines up with the factory trans mount.???Click to view attachment

I thought it would be very close to the cross member not beyond it

these tranny mounts line up..Click to view attachment

Your on the right path, the idea with the small car is that you will need to cut the mount and mount it over an early style bar. I think I have detailed shots of mine in my build thread.

I made two of them

And I suppose that's why the oil filter wont screw on either,..I will ck that out,.I thought it was to short ,..not to long but I do fell better,I would still love a cradle..lol

cradles are over rated

Well I was hoping to just bolt it in and be done,..But I can see now that's not the case ..

BUT,..My oil filter will not screw on either is that the result of the brackets being to long ??

I'am about to start my intake flip,I will be using the subie chip to eliminate the EGR system,and I will be using the spacer kit from X35 design.

1. I DON'T know how much of the EGR system to remove.( i dont have the chip yet )
2. I don't know how to do the ALT bracket
3. Is there a shorter crank pulley I can install on the 3.3..???

4. Thanks to all that can help...!!!! Frank

Is this tiny bracket a safe lift point ,.I need to get engine on the engine stand

yes it works fine.

WOW,..I would have never thought it could handle the weight,..Thank U,..!!

Any thought on my previous post about removing the EGR system..??

You use the rear hook spot, and I use a bolt up front to balance it all out.

You just block the EGR, with a steel plate, and a plug in the manifold if your using the stock exhaust manifolds. Since I did not keep the stock ECU, it might kick codes. Not sure

yes,.Iam using the stk manifolds,..and the stock ECU,..But I will be chipping the ECU to stop those codes,.

are you using 914 trans?

Yes,..On the trans,..jim

Are there any companies that make original color dye's for Porsche interior color's,Plus I cant get rid of the stains on this horn pad,.any Suggestion's Click to view attachment Thanks Frank

Trying to do the intake flip, not sure what stays and what goesClick to view attachment
I am guessing that U open the harness,.( more slack from harness)to reconnect ,connector's,..and then buy new generic hose to then refit them as needed,..Am I any where near correct ?? Thanks Frank

Go to a auto paint store and get a couple of cans of SEM interior spray. They should have it in almost any color. These were black and have held up good for the last 15yrs.

You need to look at ThePaintedMans thread. He did a great job of explaining what he did.

Yea, I could not remember his name/
write up from my home computer, Thanks !!!!

Regarding the steering wheel, you can hit that with some SEM dye too (like the seats).

Thanks for the Dye tips,..Bigkat and AZ914 I will do just that,.!!! WOW 15 yrs that's great,..

would it be safe to mount the Subaru ECU, next the the battery just like the original ECU or should I mount inside the cabin,..I didn't really want to drill a 2 in whole in the fire wall if I didn't need to ?? Thanks ,..Frank

My ecu isn't water tight so I ran it to the trunk thru the targa latch cup and sealed that. Also provides plenty of space for a relay/fuse panel.

yea,..I kinda wanted to hide it a little better if possible,it's better than under the seat that's for sure !!

Subaru ECUs are mounted inside the cabin, not water tight. Drop it in the trunk, easiest. Or extend the harness and move it to the cabin.

I'd put it in the trunk. You need a little protection but no need for it to be sealed water tight. If you extend the wires you have to use high quality stranded shielded wire for many of them. It makes for a very fat harness to pass through the firewall. The shielded wires for the cam and crank sensors are very sensitive. Any significant signal leakage will cause it to run poorly.

I'd think the harness is long enough to put in the cabin, possibly between the seats either on the floor or the back. Easy enough to cover with a shield and some sort of material or pad. That's what I'm planning...

Yea,..I don't really want to pull the interior out,.I will be working on it this weekend,..and I hope its not to hot,if I had 40 straight hours and cooler temps I could be very close to turning the key,barring complications of course

Chris914n6,...why do I need the fuse panel,.Iwas expecting to wire it thru my chassis harness and use my existing fuse panel...??

My Nissan will be a little different, but there will still be more fuses & relays involved.

8 relays total. ecu, ign, fuel pump, starter, ac comp, cruise, fan 1 & 2.
14 new fuses: ecu hot, ecu switched, coils, injectors, fuel pump, fans, etc...
This is beyond the chassis fuses & relays. This panel replaces the stock panel in the engine bay.


This is why I don't have a build thread, can't find a finished pic

40 plus yr. old wiring with those crappy fuses and no room for relays? Nope... not for me. Play with the wiring lengths that you have, see where you can go, and fit it as safely as you can. If you need to have it in an exposed area, install it in a box where it can be accessed quickly and that's fairly waterproof. Preferably up high would be best.

Listen to these 2 guys. There both mechanics. You can't have too many fuses or grounds or relays. My Dakota Fan Controller instructions were quick to point out that the relays (switched & hot) could not share the same circuit or bouncing was likely. I experienced this once when I designed my own neutral safety switch. The computer went wild and so did the idle circuit. I didn't know why then but now I understand. This is what happens when a plumber ventures into the electrical world.

what is the best/easy way to pull the clutch assy. I am thinking about changing out that plastic panel that is on the back of this engine case to the metal one,.?? Thanks FrankClick to view attachment
