In addition we will be completing the fabrication of the wiring harnesses and integrating secondary systems such as the custom automatic fire suppression system and the Zeitronix's system for real time data logging.

Now as a brief recap; the goal for this project from day one was fairly typical; to increase the gal's performance while systematically integrating numerous secondary systems such as the Moton remote reservoir shocks, the extreme Brembo brakes, AquaMist water injection, dual speed electric fan. All this was to be completed in a very clean OEM appearing manner while maintaining the ease of service however, there was a final requirement attached to this project which would forever set this gal apart from the pack.

The final requirement was that the integration needed to be done in such a manner that it did not resemble the path that others before her had taken.

It is as the result of the final requirement that a clean sheet of paper became the basis of defining this project. As stated; we approached every detail as if no one had been down this path before as such the intercooler system, the by-pass system, the idle control system, the water injection, the fire suppression system, the strut bar, the manner in which we integrated the custom secondary wiring harnesses, the plumbing of the intercooler system and the gal's heart, the integration of the Moton shock system and the placement of the remote reservoirs are a just a few of the key elements that are unique to this gal. The closer one looks the more they will see; she is akin to an automotive eye candy store.

In addition the DME compartment had the Zeitronix's system integrated as well as the boost MAP sensor. During the wiring process we created junction points for the 12 volt constant, 12 volt switched, and ground similar to that which is done by OEM on both the driver and passenger side of the gal so that future service and integration of additional items can be completed with ease.

We use only full wrap OEM style sheathing and then the ends are all sealed to insure a long and trouble free service life; wiring is one of the many items that once integrated should never have to be dealt with again.

We used stainless steel tubing and then change the tubing diameter in a couple places as the means to create the pressure and flow we desired throughout the intercooler system. We did this rather than use in line restrictors which would have been much easier. You can also see that the Tig welding process used when integrating alternate size stainless steel tubing is very detail orientated.

In this video the front bumper cover remained off so we could bring her up to operating temperature and confirm that all systems function as designed and that we had no leaks etc. The initial run was not only successful but was glitch free. Next we will install the bumper cover, the gal's front wheels and then we can exercise her during which time we will be data logging her vitals as we finalize the tuning process before she has her day in the lights with the magazine folks and then she will be traveling home to her Papa.
