I'm sure I'll find a home for them at some point.

Black and dark green 2 wire could be the AC compressor clutch.

The neon green connector is the ambient temp sensor, not sure about the other.

 

[Traé]

I have a similar colored connector in the top of my transmission right behind the mount but the wire colors are different. I do have a different car than you. I think it might be what tells the car it’s in reverse. Is that connector attached to the main or engine harness?

 

[comegetjoe]

These two guys are already plugged in. The white one is tagged "speed sensor" and the other I'm pretty sure is the reverse lights.

Only other blue connectors I have are for the evap solenoid but mine has a blue tab and a red body. My other is for the boost solinoid but I’m not sure if your would have that or not with a turbo. My AC compressor connector was cut out when I gutted the compressor but it didn’t look like that at all.

Wham bam efffin plan

Done list today
-plate installed, measurements taken for standoff for fusebox, almost permanently temporarily mounted, y'all know how that goes, on-off-on-off
-clutch line installed, had to go fishin' for one of those little clips to hold the line in. Did you know there is at least 3 different sizes/lengths?
-radiator video completed, is the radiator support bolt acceptable as a ground or is it necessary to drill into the frame again for another ground?
-Heat exchanger wired in
-coolant hose at the T put on
-fusebox trimmed
-final coolant connection on the passenger side at the head completed

And what may those last two connectors be? I have the coolant tank tagged, so that's not it.View attachment 47525

I think the green one is F35 speed sensor. The colors of the wires leading to them would help! Speed sensor is a purple wire and a yellow wire. There is a red connector on the fuel purge valve that may have gotten plugged in elsewhere. It would hide a connector!

 

[Robinjo]

Those look like Ambient Air sensor plug (green) and Coolant Level in the overflow bottle (black)

I second that. I took a look at mine and those plugs look identical to those two locations.

You were all correct. Coolant tank ftw.

Good progress today.

Connected some things to see where I was at and then Bam! Power. Just tapped the key to see, but its a No crank situation, but relays click when the key is turned to start. Tried swapping the brake and clutch switch, but nothing. Fuel pump turns on. I'll have to borrow my buddy Scott again. For another day. Still need to install the turbo... which happens to be next on the list. Pissssshhhhhhh Stututututu

Fusebox, standoff. I'm sure I'll have to move it to bleed the clutch. Heat exchanger fan comes on, clearly I'm low on coolant. Last picture shows how pinched the hard brake line is under the ground and inbetween the frame and F40.

Keywords - coolant tank bottle reservoir spring

Ill need to trim, reroute some things, but what's the goal kids? Progress.

 

[comegetjoe]

Not all no-crank situations are bad ones to diagnose, sometimes you just have a bad crank relay.

Stoked!

Now to continue assembly and get it fired up. Pic for attention.

*edit - clarification, it turned over after replacing the relay, which means it's ready to start as soon as I can get it assembled! Motor seems to be in time with the cams/head etc, hell yeah!

 

[comegetjoe]

Someone woke up early today to get started.
I think I'll be posting the z54/z57 for sale soon if someone's got interest.

Spent most of the day outside today. Got up around 7am and jumped outside after coffee, started on the turbo, moved to the oil change, intercooler pump wiring and plumbing down low, then moved to the cold side and some cold air parts. I'll tell you, the hard piping is a jungle, but here's what I've got.

Probably going to be some concern on the clear lines. Seems like pretty stout material, I'm not worried. Pink coolant will look cool.

*edit - and don't mind the mount on the transmission, It was sitting next to me and was wondering where it mightve fit.

 

[Rttoys]

Gotta route that one under the frame. Looks out of place just sticking out Like that.

Talk to me. Whatchu mean?
1st pic, clear line, drivers side, over the cross bar? That gets cut short and goes to the drivers side of the intercooler.

Yes that one. Aesthetically speaking, it would look better under the crossbar. Maybe route it straight and next to the fuse box. Then turn it to the intercooler area

sorry. iPad markup sucks, but here you go

Lol, that gets cut back like 2 ft. That line gets pushed onto the 90* barbed fitting that enters the side of the A2W intercooler. See in picture #2 how there is a blue plug on the side of the A2W intercooler, that side also gets cut short and enters there (there is a vertical T in there somewhere for filling)

*processing.....*
Oh chit mang, now I see what you're seeing. No! It's not connected to the heater core loop lol

 

[Rttoys]

Ah. Gotcha

carry on

 

[comegetjoe]

I think I need an adapter lol. The kit intercooler piping coming off of the turbo doesn't quite match up to the larger intercooler. A 2" to 3" coupler should do it.
I also have to unbolt the 3rd coil pack and rotate it out of the way of the 45* coupler off of the turbo or risk breaking the connector off. Now I have to fab up a quick Z bracket to hold the coil pack down.

I emailed the tuner last night looking for a startup tune file. (Yeah, I know it was Saturday night) I feel like I could've started this thing a week ago and had a " yay, it starts" but I wanted it to be able to sit and idle and be able to check all systems and listen to it, check for leaks etc and get it ready for remote tuning.
