We have the power!!!
Alright, so I needed to get this power steering situation... situated. The KA24DE or S14 power steering hose that runs to the p/s pump, would not fit on the SR20DET p/s pump.
Yes, that was a horrible sentence.
So my only solution was to remove the banjo bolt holding the power steering pump fitting on both cars and swap them.

On the left is the S14 Power steering hose fitting, on the right is the s13's power steering fitting.
Luckily for me the banjo bolt that goes in the top is the same for both cars, I brought the s13 one over to my house from my storage (parent's house) just in case.
I needed an impact gun to get the banjo bolt's loose, the size is 15/16 for the socket used. Putting it back was not a problem, this ratchet is twice the size of my tq wrench and so was the socket.
I have some concerns how this hose sits however above the belt.
random shot of wire harness plugged into the ac. Once I have my triple pressure canister situation and hose situation resolved. I'll worry about taking the system to an ac specialist to get charged.
(obviously first worrying about registration/insurance/tags.)
I also mentioned there was slack in my throttle cable, like MAD SLACK, at least half an inch of play. Stripped the godamned screw end trying to make it tighter on this dumb ass bracket.
Read somewhere just to use the bracket off of the KA24DE intake manifold.
So I did just that, took my dremmel and widened one of the holes, dropped on like it belonged there and guess what?
No more play.
I still have a lot of wires unanswered for. So I will go through the process of de-pinning them once I sort out the headlight wiring. Fan is wired up, A/C is wired up, relay's are wired up. Just need a relay for the headlights, or make sure E7 is not located on the interior (stock) fuse box.
spent most of the day charging my battery, not sure if my charger works properly or not since it doesn't read voltage out anymore. But judging from my trunk light coming on, and me being able to turn on my tail lights and city lamps. I think it's safe to say, we in da building.
And now, for an electrical systems test.
Progress 3-30-2009 from wayne edwards on Vimeo.
I would like to add, I did not plug up the dimmer switch. That may be why the lights were not coming on the cluster, I'll have to double check that. It might also have something to do with the hazard switch, or that causes my turn signals not to work, cant recall.
Either way, I'm going to try and wrap up the wiring tomorrow and fire it up.
Then jump into the digital climate control.
Question for anyone that's done it before. How in the fuck do you mount it to your console, I don't see the holes matching up,
AT ALL.
And that's a wrap for today.
