While I was making the engine harness I kept taking breaks and jumping over to another project that somewhat had to be done at the same time. This was wiring my gauges. It also took some of the monotony out of wiring the engine harness. I went with Speed Hut water temp and boost gauges and an innovate MTX-L wideband.
Water temp sensor mounted in the thermostat housing
Wiring always has to look terrible before it gets done
Fuse block all wired up. This will power my three gauges and my MAC solenoid valve. Only downfall is the location of this panel. It's behind the ECU so if I ever do pop a fuse Ill have to unbolt the ECU to change it.
Gauges all mounted up. I'm not sure if this was taken before or after they were wired but the mounting is obviously the same.

Long time no update. Progress has been slow on finishing the car but that seems to be the case with all projects. The wiring was finished a while ago but I could;t attempt to fire the car because I had no radiator at the time. I had a plan in the works but everything takes much longer than expected.
I knew I wanted a VMIC but didn't want to ditch my Greddy FMIC core because I really wouldn't get enough for it to cover the cost of a suitable IC core. So I set my friend on the task to modify the core for VMIC use. We mocked things up a little on the car first to see what needed to be done and then set off on modding the core. I also bought a new Koyo rad to modify for VMIC use.

Finished modified Koyo for the VMIC. Welded a new upper end tank in, divider between the two, and closed off the bottom rad outlet. I took a whole lot of measurements and made some rough sketches of the mounting brackets and ducting, leaving plenty of extra to be able to trim the panels to fit as needed. From these trimmed panels I may make panels exactly to size for a slightly cleaner look.
