Where did you bolt the seats to the rails at? On the bottom?
That was to just show how the thing is going to look. I'll take pics of that soon and also other things that were done that I didnt post yet. FYI It bolted perfectly and very pleased/surprised how comfortable I am in the seat.
Car is home and now its time, looking to get tuned by the end of this month if my tuner is in town
Went to the dyno on Wednesday in hopes of getting the car done once and for all andddddddd ran into harness problems with the map sensor. Instead of bypassing it just took the car off the dyno. Who knows what other problems the harness might have and like to do everything right. With that said looking into CJs wiring or Rywire non milspec. Also got a pretty cool pic out of it.
Nice car, really likin' the green......Seen the last pic on Derf Tuned IG.
Were you able to get any pulls/numbers or was it a complete bust?
Complete $220 bust. $60 tow there, $100 for dyno time since Derf wasnt able to tune it, and $60 tow back. It's no one fault other then myself and only myself can fix it so I will. Just frustrating but when has this build ever been anything else?
Picked up a walbro 450. Ordered the harness officially yesterday after back and forth with CJs wiring
Just out of curiosity is the factory wiring sufficient to run these or do people run relay's on the 450 Some people say not to do it and I have seen reputable people say they are fine without a relay.. Yet I have seen relays installed with these pumps
Ok.... So pump got installed 7/27/16 ran bigger wire and individual relay (everything worked out perfect). With that being said it's been 2 months since ordering the harness from CJs wiring and finally got it in yesterday 7/28/16 being excited went straight to Label One to get everything switched with hopes of being tuned again within the next few days... Looking over the harness the wrong injector clips were on the harness (no big deal, we used a temp fix after contacting CJing with a more perm solution) Now the harness is installed we got to start it up and now misfiring from 2 cylinders. Left the car at Label One for further review (COP harness, COP wiring, ECU board). Car drove perfectly to the shop because found it was the jumper harness causing that MAP issue in the past.
So loooooong time without updates... I took a step back from the car when no one can give me answers on why my car was misfiring and it happened ever since I changed to CJs Wiring harness. People looked at the harness and said it was perfect. I have other hobbies I prefer to enjoy such as building a really good PC rig and playing competitively on that instead of wasting my time on a car that refuses to work when imo done everything possible to get it working right. Just about a year later I'm here to finally try again and put some money into updating a few parts next step is getting Carlos from Label One and Fred from Derf Tuning to come to my house and check this car out for themselves cause I want it over with.
Updates for your enjoyment, sorry for the lack laziness. (16x7 TE37s, Blox Drag coilovers, Front&Rear Skunk2 camber kits, aftermarket LCAs + Subframe brace)
Might just have to, but dont want money to literally be burnt from someone elses lack of quality (if its actually the wire harness) one thing I noticed in the car industry compared to every other industry is the lack of responsibility. Axles have warrenty but if they break not their fault, harness's, tires, sleeves, turbos etc etc these car companies never want to take responsibility for their products.

I mentioned that ever since switching my harness the car is misfiring but no one can find a problem with the harness. Which imo I'm sure diagnosing a harness is alot harder done than said.

I guess until we have more information and evidence about CJ's Wiring, it's very difficult to justify jumping to that conclusion as a potential cause of a misfire.. So, I wouldn't go so far as saying it's "mickey mouse", unless there's impartial information to say otherwise.

Well, not to detract from your thread build, but there's 2 sides to every coin, when it comes to "warranty". When it comes to these kinds of products, you have to remember that even though their purpose may be for "off-road use", these same companies aren't the same as a repair shop where they're performing the actual installation, service, etc. They're not there overseeing your installation. You may be very competent in doing this without an issue, but they don't know whether or not it was installed optimally. Fewer and fewer shops are performing these installations in which the benefit of the doubt is given by the manufacturer to that shop, and that is a lot of why they have changed their
There is a difference between a workmanship warranty, and a warranty similar to like a refrigerator, T.V. or other appliance you would purchase at a store. The responsibility has to be on the installer first, because unlike a refrigerator or T.V. It has moving parts and it's being incorporated in a number of ways in your engine bay that the manufacturer may not be aware of. A refrigerator sits in ONE space, and has ONE purpose, with the only input being the power source. A turbocharger is completely different than refrigerator.
No one is going to try to innovate make anything available if their continually using their resources on fighting battles for every single person that installs. There are, of course, exceptions, but I'm just pointing this out as a general rule.
That's all, just playing devil's advocate at giving the flip-side of the argument so that you don't believe in the whole "big-industry-is-out-to-get-us" conspiracy theory.
I just say that because I've bought harnesses from places that sell harnesses and have had problems with every one.. Chasebays being the worst. Paid up for a custom harness using all race grade materials and haven't had issues.
From my experience when it comes to wiring either leave the stock harness alone or do it yourself so you know its pinned out right. My college buddy did a "wire tuck", got one of those nice harnesses and all. Nothing but problems. Only part of my harness I've dicked with is injector plugs and the map sensor lol.
