Default Non-Honda Fab

This is the first turbo exhaust manifold i have ever made, it's for my mitsubishi evo... I have both a GT30 and GT35 with TiAl exhaust housings, so I set the manifold up so that i can swap between them with no issues... I used .065 321 stainless tubing, all welds are backpurged... the runners are within 1/8" of each other...

still have to make the wastegate pieces and downpipe...

I've been making a lot of other parts for this car, if there is interest i can post pictures of them...

Hi Franz,
I have searched all over for the yellow heat shrink labeling for say coil or coolant temp etc but I have been unable to find it.
Can you point me in the right direction for all the components you used?

I only was able to find this site

http://www.cambridge-technologies.com/products.shtml

Looks amazing by the way!

Dymo Rhino Pro hand thermal printers are the best low cost solution for heat shrink tubing markers... the downside is that they only offer up to 1/2" shrink tubing...

KROY makes a good low cost thermal printer also, but it is desktop and spools of shrink tubing are expensive if you are only go to use it a few times a year...

those are actually Deutsch Autosport connectors...

as for the wire...

smaller diameter, lighter weight, exceptional chemical and abrasion resistance, -65 to 200c continuous temperature rating, silver plated copper conductor..

also can be ordered dual wall (i use this for non sheathed wire so that abrasion wear can be spotted easier...

also, this meets all of material standards for Boeing to use in the 777 airframe... this and 44 (thicker insulation) are standard for both Aerospace and Motorsport use.

And the KROY is what I would use to make the yellow labels?

from my understanding you use the dymo or kroy to make those labels and then you "fix" them to the harness with clear heatshrink.

Best choice for low cost handheld printer would be Dymo RhinoPro3000.... you can pick these up for ~$100, heatshrink label cartridges are ~$25ea... this is a pretty cheap way to get into being able to do heatshrink labels...

I use RT375 for the clear heatshrink tubing...

so basically, you would print the heatshrink label... slide it over the loom... shrink it... then slide the RT375 over and then shrink that... easy.

is-motorsport in indy is a good source for most wiring harness needs... no issues with small quantities either...

ecu is now m800, was pectel sq6... but also had motec mdc, 2xpdm16 and sdl, so i decided to do the m800 to make the canbus integration straight forward.

Anything else you can contribute it would be greatly appreciated.

did you source anything from raychem or they are just overpriced?
