Full Weekend of Electrical Ducting and Water
As of today, we have 10 days to get everything sorted out with the car and be ready for this trip. This weekend we called in Chris Wirth to help out and Mike was in town as well, so we had a long list of project to fight through.
Extending Power to the Battery
I did two things on Saturday. I extended the battery distribution wire in the trunk, so that the circuit breaker and associate power source items were neatly tucked into the battery box. The other thing I did was to waste most of the day trying to make a 4 prong trailer harness work, when I really needed the 5 prong. I should have stopped after a few attempts and gone online somewhere to look it up. Tim’s wireless at his house hates me, so I only try a few times to connect before I give up.
Mike showed up and we all lifted the hood outside, so he could start laying out the hood vents on 
the car. The hood vents were a sponsor donation from TunersNation.com and are actual JDM hood vents for the Galant. On the JDM hood there is a space inset in the hood to put them in, so we had to do some cutting to make ours work. Luckily Garfield at TunersNation set us up with the exact dimensions to get them centered on the car.
Chris Wirth was on ducting duty for good reason. Chris has been developing and designing cold air boxes for years, and has gotten pretty damn good at it. Where we once laughed at the level of detail he would put into keeping an area of the engine bay isolated from heat, he would prove the results at the track running the best times with fewer mods. We knew that we needed his hands to help us squeeze that same advantage out of this car.
Tim fabricated a new 4″ inlet for the turbo, which looks absolutely huge. When you create that sewer 
pipe, it is hard to fathom how much air is going through that area. The end result was a smooth transition tube with one real bend in it, going direct into Chris’s cold air box. Chris’s airbox came out perfect and looks a little too professional for the car. There is even a snug fitting cover that actually seals into place. The metal in front of the wheel was removed to allow only cold air into the intake.
After some adventures with re-cabling power in the car, Mike and I teamed up to run the water injection system from the front to the rear. The pump was mounted on the board to the rear seat and we needed to run the solenoid wire and tubing itself to the engine bay.
