Awesome hatch man. :D :goodjob: :yes: :bump:

damn good write up, and a damn sexy car. i know it looks better in person

nice, i love the color! it turned out great... awesome car dude

Thanks again for the props guys.

Hybrid Racing has everything working nicely now and it's on the way back to me. I will reinstall everything and have her towed for exhaust install. Once that is complete I will enjoy her for a few days and maybe get some vdieo footage and posted as well.

I also went through and resized the build pics for posting before she was completed. I will begin to post pictures later this evening to get you guys up to speed on what went down the week before the completion.

Thanks again for all the props :goodjob: :cheers:

Session 047 Part 1:

K series shifter cable routing and mounting:

Start with removing "A" and "C" from the shifter cables and discard:

Remove bracket "B" to modify since this is the best bracket to use:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6447_rs35.jpg

Take the hammer and hit the bracket to flatten it out like so:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6449_rs35.jpg

I don't know what the bolt is for. It's a 10mm bolt that was holding nothing in place. Maybe before I took the car apart it had a purpose. But, it's in the perfect spot:

Nice clearance:

Closer look at the cable routing at the crossmember:

Another clearance shot. I don't have a pic with the header installed, but the clearance is really good on my SSR header :yes:

Inside the bay:

Closer look at the tranny connection (my father shortened the cotter pins for weight reduction :boobies: j/k....he said the length was not correct)

Hope that helps anyone with questions about routing and mounting K series shifter cables :cheers:

Thanks for looking and more to come :bannana:

You must of misread something because I still have the car. Just sent the wiring and kpro out to resolve the O2 problem..... I'm awaiting the return of the wiring and kpro and then I can drive her :goodjob:

Oh my bad :doh:

Yeah, the 93 was white w/ a GSR swap. Sold it back in 2003. The VX is a 95 which is why I'm ready to change my name :yes:

Session 047 Part 2 of 2:

Modifying the K20a2 engine harness:

There is a lot of clips to remove from the harness:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6396_rs27.jpg

First remove the large white one:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6397_rs35.jpg

Just unclip it:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6398_rs35.jpg

Slit the rubber grommet:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6399_rs35.jpg

Comes off like so:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6400_rs35.jpg

There are 3 of the little green plastic clips that you can remove:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6401_rs25.jpg

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6402_rs35.jpg

Pry using a flat tip screwdriver to open each one up to remove:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6405_rs35.jpg

Removed:

How I routed the engine harness to the cabin. That is the heater coolant opening at the firewall. The hole has NOT been modified:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6408_rs35.jpg

Looking at the same hole from the cabin:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6409_rs35.jpg

D series harness:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6430_rs35.jpg

Wire #1 -- Plug "B" (green/yellow wire) - A7

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6432_rs35.jpg

Cut the wires like so &
Wire #2 -- Plug "B" (green/orange wire) - A13

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6435_rs35.jpg

Wire #3 -- Plug "D" (green/red) - D10

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6436_rs35.jpg

If you unwrapped the engine harness you have this fuster_cluck:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6438_rs35.jpg

Pull the wires you just cut back through so you have length to work with:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6439_rs35.jpg

Oxygen Sensor wiring......

The 4 wires on the conversion harness:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6440_rs35.jpg

Strip the plastic to expose some wire:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6441_rs35.jpg

I don't have the opposite plug to mate with the O2 so I cut the harness off the new sensor. I screwed up by cutting all the four wires even. It's been said the 2 black wires are both grounds so not a big deal to get them mixed up. But, if you have to cut the wires......cut them at different lengths :2cents:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6442_rs35.jpg

Hybrid Racing Harness --------- Primary Oxygen Sensor
Green ------------------------- White
Red --------------------------- Light Green or Blue if you have the Denso sensor
White ------------------------- Black
Black -------------------------- Black

Cosmetic caps that really make a difference:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6446_rs35.jpg

Put them just about everywhere including the studs of the roll bar:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6445_rs35.jpg

Everything was torqued down and torque stripe added for easy visual check ups:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6459_rs35.jpg

Clutch line install. Not sure if the teflon tape was needed or not :crazy:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._6462_rs35.jpg
