That makes a ton of sense.If I remember correctly, you have to trim down the elbow that goes to the throttle body. The silicone should not be pinched.
ill give it a shot.
thanks!

Yes I had to take about 1” off the intake side and it was no longer pinch. Take small amo off at a timeThat makes a ton of sense.

The switches on the left are easily reached. The ones on the far right are a bit of a stretch, but I can get them with my shoulders all the way back in the seat.Wow, looks great! Like that it can be adjusted. Can you reach all of the switches from the driver's seat when strapped in? That would be my only concern.
Heat exchanger core cubic inch volume greater than the intercooler cubic inch core volume - EXCELLENT! The installation looks great, very clean.I spent a few hours today working on plumbing the Accusump/Oil Cooler and the intercooler Heat Exchanger.
I added a small expansion tank as a high point in the heat exchanger system to help burp the air in the system.
I mounted the HX pump above the fuel tank behind the intake piping.

I've been thinking about your comment since yesterday, and was about to write a post explaining the volume was smaller, then I looked at my photos again and remembered the expansion thank.Heat exchanger core cubic inch volume greater than the intercooler cubic inch core volume - EXCELLENT!

Wow I really like it a lot, YOU ARE THE WIRE KINGI put in a solid 20 hours on the car this weekend. 12 on Saturday and 8 today.
Not a whole lot to show in photos, but I started knocking out tons of electrical.
Over the past couple of months, I've been building my own electrical diagrams for the auxiliary systems I'm putting into the car. This just lets me go to work, and not have to do a whole bunch of figuring out as I went. I showed these diagram to my buddy who is an electrical engineer and he just shook his head in disappointment. But hey, if I can read them, that's all that matters.
Here are my "diagram" for the Dash and Buttons

The primary focus this weekend was getting all the new auxiliary systems powered up which required re-pinning several BCM and fuse box connectors. The thought was to re-use abandoned circuits instead of trying to tie into the ones that are left. When I thinned the harness originally, I cut all the discarded wires flush with the connectors, so the only option was to crimp pins to new wires. It appears that everything has powered up as intended.
Something I didn’t think about until I started the work, was how many electrical connectors I had to add in because the harness needs to be able to be completely removed from the car. On other builds I’ve done in the past you could just splice wires in because it never needed to get pulled out of the car
After getting the power systems squared away, I focused on the Brake Pedal and Clutch Pedal Position wiring. Since I am not re-using the OEM BPPS and CPPS, I had to come up with a way to bypass them. After some testing and playing with voltage dividers, here is what I came up with for the wiring. It all seems to work.

I still need to connect all the exterior lights (except for 1 tail light).
And I still need to wire in all the indicator lights to the dahs.
When the wiring is all done, I'll zip tie it all neatly, then pull the harness to finish wrapping it
Overall, I'm happy with my progress.

Thanks!Wow I really like it a lot, YOU ARE THE WIRE KING
ONLY A FEW OTHER GOBLIN OWNERS HAVE THIS KNOWLEDGE , A lot of us wish we had the knowledge !
Surprisingly there are not a lot of requirement for a kit car registration in CA. CA has a provision for kit cars that only require the basics, lights, seat belts and such.Looks good, lots of work to get all of that accomplished. Will CA require a windshield? Wipers? Bumpers? Emissions equipment (evap cannister, catalytic converter,, etc)? You may want to have a Montana registration as a plan B if CA doesn't allow a Goblin to be street legal.
Wait!!!!!Another weekend soldering and crimping
I wrapped up most of the warning light notifications to the dash.
I got the head light mounts fabricated, installed then wired. Not a huge fan of the lights, but need DOT approval for CA registration.
Mounted and wired the mirrors.
Again, putting electrical connectors on everything so I can pull the harness.
All the exterior lights are done except for the license plate light.
I'm also still waiting on the ABS wiring harness. Once I get it it should be plug an play. (Fingers crossed)
