Just aggravating you. Carry on with your spectacular work.internet degenerate spelling of more
It's mostly obsession, the inability to prioritize what I should (i.e. work or the completely torn apart guest bathroom), and a little bit of skill. Not as hard as you think if you break it down into steps and work through. Very intimidating, though. I procrastinated on wiring for over a year.I wish I had 10% of the skill to do this and 100% of the time. I have been following along but I had to comment because I think you need to switch careers. Can't wait to see it done.
Impressive work, my dude. Top notch for sure!Made more progress - but as has been the process so far, waiting on more parts
Once everything is final, I'll post details how things are actually done. But for now, more fragmented shots of partial harnesses!
I finally got my bulkheads in for the rear harness. Downside is I forgot or already used the boots - so they're full ready to go - just need boots. I've tested and made sure the contacts are in the right spots. The top photo is the section that runs from the PDM to the trunk area. It terminates in a bulkhead.
This section goes under the car - powering the diff fan/pump, trans fan/pump, rain light and diff temp sensor.
I used my first raychem tri transition boot (about 8in below the bulkhead). These things are awesome and provide a really clean look with a great water tight seal (which is critical since its under the car).
I used another Raychem transition boot on the main engine harness. Due to where my bulkheads are mounted on the firewall, I am working in some pretty awkward spaces behind the Bank 1 cylinder head. So I need to take a hard right out of the bulkhead and then split to run down Bank 1 and 2. This requires the Bank 1 trunk to double back. Obviously this is a huge opportunity for failure due to fatigue. So a Raychem boot will provide a rigid transition with excellent strain relief.
Here's how its routed under the boot
And with the boot recovered
Full harness is looking good - just needs terminations now - waiting on bulkhead before I terminate to fine tune sensor lengths
Labels on everything
My intake sub harness is also done. Just waiting to recover the boot until I can get the ECU powered and everything tested. Similarly to the main engine harness, I had another tight split, so another Raychem boot was used. Super sleek and tightly tucked away.
I've also made progress on the ECU and PDM harnesses. Just waiting on two large boots to cover the intersections. Then I can terminate everything and pin the bulkheads. These two photos might look fairly inconspicuous, but there's probably 8 hours work just in these two sets of connectors. Super tedious work and a ton of integration between the two.
Hopefully finished harnesses to come in a couple days
Everything is looking great! Loving the reels on Instagram too, Frank is hilariousSuccessful weekend making some work in-between watching the Rolex. On Friday, I got a chance to setup a new toy *cough cough* I mean tool. I'm late to the 3D printing party, but diving in head first now.
A couple months back, I reached out to @5.2 liters of democracy for some help re-creating some GT4 secret sauce. With the sequential setup, I was worried about cracking the block since Ford had some issues with that and I've already had my block repaired for a crack. These reinforce the ears on the block by tying into the bottom of the bellhousing and the oil pan. MMR makes their own version, but it doesn't fit the Dailey Drysump pan I have
Here's a pic of the GT4 braces for reference
Test fit the 3d printed ones - took us a few tries. But they fit now. Now I just need to clean up the design a bit and then will send off for CNCing.
Also - I finally got my first harness completely finished. This one goes from the PDM to control the diff cooler pump/fan, trans cooler pump/fan, rain light, and diff temp sensor. Split into two parts - one going through the cabin and terminating in a bulkhead - and the other under the car.

Luckily the printed material is fireproof. No worries about the nozzle aiming off into space if a real fire happens...This printer is cheating. Needed a way to aim my fire suppression nozzles at the headers. Whipped up a quick model in Fusion 360 and went out in the garage for a bit while the printer produced a model. Model took about 10 mins to make in CAD and printer kicks it out in about 25 mins.
Next up is some bracing to support my carbon footwell / pedal box cover
