DeLaSoul Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 I was expecting porn. Looks like you're getting closer. No porn but I've known people get upset when I start cutting up perfectly serviceable parts! It looks a mess now but it's a means to an end Hats off for the hard work you are putting in! Every picture update gets better and better with more quality workmanship!Thanks. Moving forward on the harness and bare minimum heating system next once the heater matrix arrives. I've bought a heatshrink label printer from eBay and a harness, next job is to locate the MIL spec harness connector and start doing this: But hide as much as possible. I want every plug labeled though just in case I have to start fault finding and finding a cheap Dymo heatshrink printer will make it a clean job! Long nights ahead I should be able to match this as this is one job I do like is wiring!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLaSoul Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 s**t, is that a K-series lump sat there that may end up under the bonnet? and wow that some serous work you are putting in to this..No no no - not mine!!!!! Just a picture example of what I'm attempting with the wiring. No K swap for me but I am dropping a B18C6 at a later date Heater has arrived, nice and compact for a 3kW unit!

NIKH25 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Wow tiny heater, wiring though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLaSoul Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Wow tiny heater, wiring though. Wiring easy, 2 wires and it draws 2A on startup, 1A running which is a fraction of the original. Okay it won't be as warm or powerful but it will be enough for what I want. What do you need a heater for? apart from clearing the windscreen in inclement conditions I have the heated screen but I want to be able to move air in the cabin and keep me warm if needs be. Only opening vent in the whole car will be a little sliding vent in the drivers window which I don't believe is enough so the blower will move air both hot and cold. The main casing has 5 outlets, 2 will go to the screen to aid clearing, 1 to my feet and 1 to my face. The final vent can go to the passenger side of I can blank it off. I hope I will never be tempted to break the car out of the garage in bad weather but I want to be prepared if the need occurs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinochips Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 That Harness is beautiful, if only they all came looking like that standard. nice work dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLaSoul Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 I was thinking about this. Once I start I will do a write up of mine. Not hard, just takes a lot of time and patience. The heatshrink printer I bought is pretty awesome and will make a tidy job, damned if I'm paying $1000 for someone else to make something I can make. I can't weld, so I wasn't going to mess around with the chassis or roll cage, but wiring is another matter. Cabin will take x3 longer than the engine as I have to remove so much stuff from the loom, check, check and recheck then build everything into a new bundle.

NIKH25 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 That's fair enough mate I don't blame you saving money, wiring like that scares the bejeezus out of me though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
