Was this the JP Led Worx DIY Kit ? 

Was it relatively straight forward ? Would you do it again or would you just pay to have it done by him ?

Yes thats JP Led Work kit, Im doing it myself, not an easy job if you are not used to play with wires. When I finish the tacho I would let you know about the final difficulty level haha

[Krimi]

Wiring cut to length and ready to be tested before putting the connectors in.

We about to die with this wiring complication. Brain dead things reserved for smart people. Hahaha

[Peter P]

Hey Krimi,

Whats the complication with the wiring? That new loom is looking great by the way. Got to admit wiring is my weakness, frightens me more than anything mechanical as it can be a real pain trying to isolate and fix faults. Bit easier if it’s not in the car as I spent many a day upside down in the footwell trying to reconnect everything after swapping my dash over for the flocked one, so feel the pain mate. 
 

Hopefully nothing too crazy and you get it sorted my friend. Good luck! 
 

All the best,

 

Pete

Nothing crazy just too much work and waiting time there, is like a chinese illegal work in a basement hahaha 

 

Hope to finish this soon and start with the mechanical part.

[Peter P]

Well as we mentioned before I’m waiting patiently to see what you think and what numbers you make with that Garrett G35-1050. Hopefully it makes good numbers and with both of us on VVT-I, should be a good indicator of what I can expect especially now we are both 6-speed manual as well. 
 

Fingers crossed my friend, hopefully good things to come soon.

On pump, we expect 550-650rwhp. Something in between this range. Lets see!

[Krimi]

Wiring finished, and placed in the engine, this week we should have wiring brackets in place to hold the wiring like OEM and check the oil pressure and temp sensor to start up the engine outside the car with the basemap in the MaxxEcu.
