A friend of mine did 240whp on a 100% stock D16Y8 with that same kit, you should be able to go a lot higher in hp with rods/pistons

Anybody tuck an engine harness before? What did you do with these?(from the butt connectors (obd2a harness)

I've looked through the wire tuck thread, as well as several other threads but could not find a good answer.

TIA.

I retraced a lot of those wires and they all ended up being grounds for a few important sensors and plugs. I dont think im going to get rid of them.

I've made a lot of progress on the engine harness, because, well, it's actually starting to look like a harness again.. Haha

More pics coming up..

Thats niiice, where did he get it tuned? I dont think i would feel TOO comfortable beating on a stock bottom end Y8 While boosted everyday. This is what i plan on doing with with this build, gotta beat those soccer moms in there minivans while merging lanes..
