Tonight was a busy night. but it seems like I did not do much. I pulled out the bins of wire I pulled from the Cadillac (from the V8MR2 project). I must have 200 pounds of Grade A wire. GM makes awesome wires and connectors!
Found a sweet mount that had 4 relays attached. Pulled off 3. Mounted the 2-bar MAP (for the Electromotive HPV-1) and the relay is used for the HPV as well.
I soldered and wired the HPV to the relay and MAP. Found an old AW11 fuse box. Removed a few of the fuse holders. Tomorrow I'll plug the new line and power feed into the RSGT fuse box and use a 10 amp fuse. Normally you don't use fuses, but since this is a street car I decided it is probably a safe thing to do.
It was raining, so in the morning I will install the ignition. That will be done.

I wired up all of the coolant temp senders, covered the wires with convoluted tubing, another cool thing about the caddy... I have miles of this stuff.
So now I just have to start plugging in the wires to the relay board. Tone out all the wires to make certain they are what they are labled.

basically it is just plug and play now.

I ordered a bunch of turbo gaskets from Toyota Country this morning. Came to $97. also ordered new turbo studs and manifold gaskets. They did not have nuts, but that was okay as I'll just get my own stainless nuts and drill them for stainless safety wire.
