Last steps are getting the headlights and front end on, fixing a fuel leak on these PTFE lines, figuring out why the drivers taillamp isn't lighting up (reverse and signal works), and uploading Fahran's basemap tune - then I can finally start the engine after a year of having no life lol. Also...

Finally starting to look like a car again. Thought I'd drop some progress pics to put down in the books. Before:

Thanks for the info! Late reply, but I'm finally up to this phase. Is this done by just shoving a hose into the bottom port of the EGR and T'ing that into the catch can line? Both EGR ports T'ed in? Can the EGR just be ziptied somewhere on the side of the engine bay like the VTCS box? I tried...

I was planning on Versatune for that reason, but the issue I only discovered a couple days ago is that it removes the CEL from the dash, but the monitor is still on. In NYC we do OBD2 inspections (no smog). The EGR monitor will still show 'not ready' when they plug in. I believe we're allowed 1...

I'm reading it's M18 x 1.5 thread. @Erebus that helped shed some anxiety, thanks for that lol Having a hard time finding any online. Seems even Amazon and Ebay outlawed selling them there (for obvious reasons) and overseas won't ship to the US. It's something like this that you used, right...

Awesome news! And thanks for the info. Can confirm I see no O2 sensors, bungs, or disconnected connectors on/near the downpipe. Makes sense how it wouldn't effect anything. That's funny, I had to run a set of Casper electronics sensor extenders on my 05 6s to keep the CEL off after installing...

So after speaking with Eric, the plan will be to clip the VTCS pigtail from my old harness (probably crimp new terminals onto new wires) and splice them back into the black 12-way plug on the harness he sent out. Should be easy enough. Now, to source that black box... The EGR, I'll probably...

Good to know, thanks for saving me the money and more importantly, time! I had the harness done by the main man himself, Eric. I'll check with him how to tap the old connector into his new harness. Thank God I didn't throw the old harnesses out..

Thanks for the tip, I'll try to source one somewhere. I'm sure I already know the answer to this, but if my Mazdaspeed Wire Tuck set was requested with a VTCS delete, that would leave me with nowhere to plug the box into, right? If that's the case, would the diode/relay trick be a...

Finally figured out the clutch wire splice dilemma. I found a cut W/L wire that was tucked under the fusebox, so that whole portion is resoldered back to stock. Doesn't matter though as I don't know if I'll ever get to drive this car. On FB, I came across a thread talking about the Versatuner...

Didn't forget about you. Still going at it. I will say I found a lot of potential vac leaks and bad or damaged gaskets. My issues could be due to that. Hoping to be up in about a month so I'll post back. You have any luck? Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Haven't posted an update in a long time - a lot has happened lol. The clutch wire BS will be reverted back to stock. High up, under the dashboard, I found the original W/G wire that one of the 3 previous owners cut from the clutch sensor. Since I installed a WOTbox yesterday, this clutch wiring...

I wish, still replacing and upgrading parts lol. My current situation: Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Small update: got a replacement SSC on the way so I'm planning to start unsplicing this one from my harness. When tracing all the open/loose wires under the hood, I noticed this blue wire coming out the side of my fuse box. It was spliced to a white wire with blue stripe under the fuse box which...

This just keeps getting better... Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

After a little research, I see that's a common failing point across many 6s so that's legit. I took more of the intake apart to see what was hiding down there and make space for Rey's shift cables which should be shipping by Friday. Probably going to install an eBay short shifter kit since the...

Never heard of anyone else having to run something like this, although it makes sense. I take it, that's the normal way to handle that? Maybe it wasn't bullshit after all lol Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

The order's placed! I went with a fuel rail kit add-on to the CS IM to go PI. I'm sure I'll be posting up when I hit wiring issues lol. The current controller and wiring is a bit messy right now to the 6th port installed. Lucky, I just discovered Harnessed/MS Wiretucks. Unlucky, they have LONG...

I may have to use additional fittings and lengths to create a bit of a straight run for the piping as it gets closer to the TB. I also may not even need to, as the plan was to cut & couple (with silicone couplers) a CS MAF housing w/ built-in air straightener right into the straight pipe above...

Thanks for the info - after inspecting the car for a while now, I'm starting to understand how this build was put together. Corksport said the same thing when reviewing those pics. After speaking with them about the fitment of their FMIC setup on my build, I'll need to replace/upgrade a few...
