in the bottom of the ecu box or under the battery are 2 huge grommets that run into the passenger footwell. also under the fusebox on the drivers side is another opening. use a small suction cup bracket and stick it in the drivers side corner of the windshield

 

And the nice thing is the grommet on the battery side at least is designed to accept more wires..

Hey just realized.. only 12 days left till BEGi has a completed turbo !

Just wondering too.. at this stage in the game on yours.. where would you think your final tally is going to fall?

It ain't gona happen, I'm convinced that it's a scam that he runs..this has happened too many times. He just runs them out of patience and sends them on their way with their turbo in their trunk and no refund with a big sorry..

 

Geeze.. you won't even let me hang on to that last little glimmer of hope will ya... LOL.

Okay in all honesty .. it's behind me with them.. figure $200 write off.. lesson learned.. I'm not the first in this boat from forum history...

 

I'm not really answering Steve here, but...
I haven't found (cause I haven't gone looking) for the passage on the passenger's side.

But if you take the cover off the fuse box on the driver's side and release the clips and lift (partway) out the fuse assembly, you can use a solid rod or stiff wire to snake thru to the area just above the clutch pedal (or where a clutch pedal would be, if your car came without a clutch).

I've run several wires that way. Also, there are cut-off-able grommets on the side of the fuse box to run the wire out of the fuse box and to where ever you want to go under the hood.

 

Cummulative knowledge.. gotta love it.. since I ran my bass canon amp to full time Hot on the battery.. you can actually do about the same thing there.. I used a clothes hanger from the inside behind the glove box and taped my hot lead to it and pulled back through..But since your mounting a guage to the drivers side area, that is probably your best bet..

 

actually because the easiest place to mount a O2 bung is on the pass side manifold. using the ecu grommet will be the easiest place to route it thru to the interior. then under the console and across to the drivers side.

 

<p>Remove the top to the fuse box under the hood on the drivers side. Then remove the plastic facia piece that surrounds the fuses. Look in the back and you will see a nice hole to run wires right into the cab.</p>

 

Thanks guys I don't know if I would have ever found those spots. Depending on how long the cable is will dictate what route I will take.

Can't tell you because my wife reads this forum.

O.K. I think I'm in line with the list that was posted earlier, the big difference being I paid a lot less for my turbo and oil pump.
Those costs will be offset by my tune and gauge that I just bought, the gauge was about $ 500.00 bucks.
My tune will be $400.00 plus shipping both ways, then after it will be fine tuned on a Dyno remotely.
That should be costly. The tuner should end up with a file that will help anyone down the road.
I'm hoping to keep the cost around the same as the kit would have cost plus the installation. $4000 to $5000
I'll followup with a up to date list when it's complete.
This might work out..when she sees this she will know the money isn't being spent on other women.

 

Not dead in the water, but not moving too quick either. My fabricator is going to start soon,but he has a full time job so is doing this for me on the side. Between his family life and his work, this will take awhile, but I knew that going in. Bought a 1992 BMW
to get around in while the work is on going. Will keep you posted when things develop more.

 

love them E30's

 

I noticed You were still kicking that horse, so I decided to see How Your project was coming along. Its been 5 weeks Bart Did Your fabricator find any time Yet?


LOLOLLLL

 

Not yet Herman, picked this fabricator for the quality of his work, not the time frame. Never promised me 8 to 10 weeks. But who knows what will happen in the next 2 weeks, or two months.

 

Planning stage is over, just started the build. Premier photos in my "Galley"

 

Sad thing is.. your looking further along than "the experts".. You know your going to have to share the final expense and parts list right? LOL

 

Sexy install, it looks really clean. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Good luck!

 

wow looking clean so far

 

Nice work Bart! I'll be back from Hawaii on the 20th, I might have to make a day trip up to check it out soon.



LOLL You should send some pics to BEGI.

 

Fantastic looking build this far. Best of luck, keep us posted
