smoothing & painting the engine bay

Well, before re-installing the new wiring harness, we wanted to smooth out the engine bay, so we cut out all the extra unused brackets, and smoothed out any imperfections in the metal with some bondo. We taped up the engine and fenders, prepped for paint, and painted the engine bay army green...this might give you a hint of what our car might look like in the very near future. Jimmy also painted the valve cover bronze. Our intake manifold and turbo were off at the time. I think it looks very nice.

MegaSquirt

In order to squeeze more power out of our motor we decided to buy and build a DIY ECU. We chose MegaSquirt because of its low cost and large online support. I began with a box of resistors capacitors and diodes. After what seemed like 100s of hours i completed it and this is what it looks like.
So after performing the wire tuck with the body harness, I pulled out the engine harness and re wired and taped it in its new layout in order to tuck these wires as well. We hope to have a visually wire free engine bay.
