^^^^ haha yeah I'm just worried about hitting a wall when it comes to the wiring. Sean at Titan has me almost talked into a AEM EMS so I can get rid of any unnecessary systems but I've never built my own harness before. Its a pretty daunting task now that I'm in it but no guts no glory I guess!

well to be honest I've always just been a bolt on guy. I could trouble shoot things here and there but I don't know really anything substantial. I've been dreaming about taken a car down to the bitter end and bring it back to life. This won't be all the way down to just frame but will be close enough. the wiring is scarring the crap out of me but I'll work through it. Am I in over my head? Sure I am but the only way to get better I to push yourself to try and do new things. After this car I'm sure I'll have the knowledge to help people out on this board. I would like to be a go to answer guy on the forums but I'm far from that. As far as time... any hour that would be wasted watching tv is used to work on the car.

I feel for you on the wiring. On my 1G I went so fanatical on the wiring removal that I actually de-pinned the un-needed accessories wires out of the harness plugs. On the engine harness too.. Came up with over 25lbs..
Keep at it man, keep the faith.

here is a link in the "drift" section of the forums. The reason I'm throwing it in here is b/c there is some good conversation about wiring between Epik and Myself.

^^^^ haha I thought so... A little update I should have pics tomorrow. I finally have everything on order that is needed to finish the tranny swap. I'll hopefully have the Auto out by sunday. Also I have decided to commit to a single turbo conversion. The twins will have enough to push this big boat around the track but when i think of a high hp 2jz first thing i think is big single turbo. I'm going to keep it small maybe a high boost hp of whp 600 on E85 but keep it around 500 for the track. I have most of the harness ready to be pulled out of the car. the HVAC system is gone and out of the way. still lots and lots of work to be done.
