Chux's basement swap shop

did some work today in the basement so I could plug my laptop into a phone line at my workbench and go online. so I thought I'd take a couple pics of my setup and share:


that's WagonL's EG33 harness on the left, plugged into his EJ18 harness on the right behind the computer. With an ECU pinout and full engine control diagram taped to the wall, and the chilton's manual propped open to another diagram.


and my helper:



now, I just need to hook up some speakers down there, and then I can crank the tunes.

 

you are a mad scientist

 

its not a basement, its a laboratory of doom.

 

yes!!! hahahaha well..i see my wires! i recognized them!!!! haha...well keep up the good work chux! and cant wait til i fire up my car!

 

yes, spooky organ music is needed along with a jacob's ladder

 

Saw... check
Blowtorch... check
Soldering Gun... check
Tape... check

hmmmmmm sounds like an evil plan right there.

 

DOOM DOOM doom doom

well, I need a good place....this is harness 1 of 3 this summer :yumyum:

 

haha!
Yea, should work out just fine. Hope your assistant doesn't get burnt by the soldering gun.

 

stupid cat...."NO, the hot soldering gun is NOT for snuggling"

 

so hows it going now with the wirings?? hheheh...i feel really bad for messing it up for you...but pretty sure you know what you're doing! and thanks a lot man!

 

Wall is right, only there are actually 2 things needed:

 

haha, nice....I'll see what I can do.

I should also mention that just to the right of the wiring, is the remains of piddster's old tranny, a 3.7 diff case, pinion, and ring gear, and a pair of Teraflex revolver shackles. :yumyum:


Dao....I just finished testing the wires in the second largest ecu plug....I'd say I'm about 2/3 done. just have to test the smaller 2 plugs, and the wrap it up for installation.

 

if you ask me chux is most definately wiring the EG33 harness into this RC monster truck.

 

What a true MNsubaru guru... he can check his posts and wire like a mad man!!! no thats planning... soon he will be under his car with the laptop!! looks good man

 

A laboratory of Doom requires an internet connection faster the 56k. :laugh:


...and that's a lot of wires.

 

been there, done that, but not with the internet.....and I'm not doing it up here until I get a garage

and that's all

 

just pm me whenever you're done! shh...dont tell anyone...hahhaa...jp! but yea.. hah...that sounds great! now i have to go and buy a new ecu! hah..but...yea...well cant wait to pick it up...


thanks man!

 

I think the 56k adds more DOOM to the laboratory. think about it all those angry hour spent trying to load web pages. It gives the evil genius time to build up anger over slow internet and plot his diabolical schemes for world domination.

 

Definetly the lab of Doom. I could probably pass for a disfigured lacky if need be.

 

You need mutilated car pictures on the wall. And some sort of chemistry set with smoking bubbles.

 

I've got an Emaxx with trinity monster maxx wild motors, wanna race?:laugh:

 

"finished" product:



that's just the EG33 side of the harness. with 12v power, that harness would run that motor in anything.

 

side note, though expensive (40-50 a month) I noticed while up there duluth has EVDO like minneapolis. not sure if you have good reception in your basement, but car +notebook +EVDO sprint card = posting everywhere!
evdo on a pcmcia card is ~1.5mb and pretty low pings with rev a.
I just had to throw that out there... cuz well, dial up is truly a form of torture.

 

yea, but it's cheap. the house is pre-wired for cable. but I'm not paying that much for it :eek3:

 

are you sure thats mines??? hahah looks HOT!! and plus very very clean! i just cant thank you enough chux!

 

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$:biggrin:

 

amen to that.

lol.

 

well..MR. Chux swung by today and helped out install...and did some testings...and found a mistake...but fixed it! everything is good and just waiting for the ecu to get to my house...then time to start her up!

once again thanks chux!

dao

 

that's why I wanted to test it. I knew there was something wrong with that circuit....I just couldn't figure out what it was.


too bad we couldn't get that other ECU to work. I would've like to see her fire up. but it'll happen soon enough

 

yea..darn it! that ecu! argh!! well..it was my fault haha...well the new one should be coming in soon...so..i'll be recording a video...so no worries! i'll post it on here too! he he he

 

so, I got a package a couple weeks ago:


opened it up:


dumped it out:


finished product:


leftovers:




that's a '91 legacy harness prepped for install into an '85 GL wagon.

 

man...how long did it take you finish this?? seems like...one...two...three! im finished! wow...man...you're doing a lot of wiring harness! keep up the good work!

 

amazing...forget garage tuning, chux FTW

 

yes! chux FTW!!!!

 

probably 6-8 hours of work...I've been really busy lately, so there was about a week and a half turnaround time.


now that I know the OBD I harnesses like the back of my hand....it's time to expand my horizons. I just downloaded '04 WRX/STi FSMs.....
