      Can you just repin the cooling fan off the ecu and splice the connector for this? Or is there more to it?

        blablabla i think i found the wire for that connector.

        Relocating battery has begun. Bought an amp wiring kit, crimp pos wires to a eye connector, crimp another to the wire going to the battery, sandwich them between a 10mm bolt and nut (cover with tape) run and tuck wire to the back. Run ground off of one of the seatbelt holes. I just lost my electrical tape so actually showing finished product isnt going to happen today.

          Make sure you put a nice fuse holder with the proper fuse as close to the battery as possible. I see lots of people that do not do that.

              In all my 12 volt electronics schools I have been to over the years they said 1/2 the cca's of the battery.

                    Lol, I believe that. It was just crappy because of so many dumb mistakes I made. I had another grinding disk blow and I dropped my grinder right on its cord and severed it.

                          Started!

                          Trying to figure out why it would only crank for the last two days, turns out I had the fuel lines upside down. Right side up on a B3. Rofl.

                          Scared the crap out of me, open header and not expecting it to actually start...rad wasnt hooked up so i had to shut her down

                                Raceland coils for the front with tein springs in the mix, just needed to clean up the strut bodies they were very rusty. Pretty much restored the threads to new condition, best 30$ I spent on this project so far lol
