Installation: Day 04
Today I installed the B14 water neck, thermostat housing, and a new thermostat. After that I spliced the B14 TPS harness in place of the B15 one.
I also took the time to mock up the lower portion of the B14 intake manifold. This was more or less to see how everything would sit, as well as to attempt to find some smaller parts I may need. This is an important step, as no matter how through you are there will always be small things that you overlook. For example, today I discovered that I had not order hose clamps for the coolant tube that connects the intake manifold to the coolant neck. I also need an EGR block-off plate.
After recreating my ECU conversion spreadsheet today, I think I may have discovered an error in my wiring. It’s not a huge deal, but it is something I have noted in case it causes issues on startup.
Not a whole lot of progress was made, but I’m OK with that, as long as everything is done correctly.
