Sneaky place to mount the EWP. I think the Alpine stickers take a little from the Gordini originality though.

Amazing Just a question regarding the fuel cooler. Where did you get it and how much does it cool the fuel? Have a few thoughts fitting one to my car eventually.

It's just a Derale an6 connector cooler. $70 on ebay.

I'm running it by cause the fuel gets heated as it goes through the fuel rail and it is plumbed back through the regulator to the surge tank so I just like the thought that it can try and get back to ambient temp along the way.

Didn't think any fuel could possibly make its way past the fuel rail. #boost

So had the insanity harness apart and added in another pwm controller for the new surge tank fuel pumps.

And another pwm controller for the ic water pump and fans.

Plus rewired a few channels and setup a gearbox temp sensor.

This is the new setup in the old tank compartment.

Uncomplicated....

Harness for the fuel pressure and fuel temp sensor and goes down to the oil pressure and temp sensor.

Wiring insanity is over, this is the neatened view.

Looks pretty straight forward Brett [emoji2957]

Add a temp sensor to the gearbox to go to the ecu.

Trucks and the stones they flick up, a nice big star to repair....

This really is an amazing build! That rear parcel shelf full of electronics is something else!

Can you imagine Brett trying to sleep with all this whirring over in his head [emoji23]

I believe those whirring noises go away if you have a good red wine with dinner.
