Well, with the car out of commision, Ive decided to do something Ive been wanting to do for a very long time now. I got down and dirty, and started tucking all the wires around the intake manifold.

Im rerouting the MAFS and CAS wiring, as well as the signal line for the BOV around the back side of the engine. That way they wont be hanging right off the front of the valve cover looking all ghetto.

Im also going to run the injector, ECT, and IAC wiring under the intake runners. This way they wont be laying on top. This should give my bay a cleaner look.

I started by cutting all the ties holding the wires everywhere. Then I stripped the old tape off the injector wires, and I seperated the CAS wiring from the ECT/IAC.

If I have time tomorrow, I will loom and tape everything back up. Then I will route, and attach it. Hopefully I can finish up before my radiator shows up on Wednesday.

That needed for a higher volume wp or the sr in general.Watter wetter shouldn't harm coolant levels whatsoever but my understanding is it's main purpose is for peolpe running straight water to get better cooling. I don't think it benefits antifreeze any.

Well, everything showed up a day early, but I worked all day, and had no time for install. I will have to wrap up the wiring tomorrow, as well as install everything.

All the parts are in. Everything looks good except my jury rigged coolant reservoir no longer fits. It looks especially ghetto right now. Guess its time for something custom, and metal.
