Well, up until the official mother's day events began, I spent the rest of my time this weekend on electronics.

First, I wired in the AEM FIC-6. Thanks rcompart for the excellent spreadsheet! I scoped out pretty much the perfect location. There is a nice, big, grommet hole through the firewall for a vac source from the intake manifold under the battery. I pulled the battery, concealed the aem up under the dash and behind the passenger side floor mat. I then ran the cables through the firewall, greased them up, and slipped them into the ecu box through the rubber sleeve on the battery side. I then soldered it in, cleaned off the wires, and wrapped everything in black friction tape! Pictures coming soon.

The cool thing is that it would take a well trained eye to even notice!

Next, I installed my LC-1 wideband and performed an 02 mod.

Then, I installed a nifty little gadget that converts the factory knock sensor input in a 0-5 volt output for datalogging.

Next on the list was installing my SPD data logger with wired inputs from the lc-1, map sensor, and my knock signal converter!

What a ***** that was snaking the input cable from the passenger side to the upper left dash area. Man they seal up every crack in this thing!

Oh well, it is in there and looks good. I managed to get a chance to start the car and let it idle before I had to stop. Next up is calibrating everything and start data logging.

I also ordered pretty much every single part I need for the rest; both with and without an intercooler. The only thing I think I missed was a larger pulley for the Rotrex to test low boost! I'll have to order that tonight when I get home.
