At 28 years old you do not know what those parts of the car are or am I misunderstanding the question?

PATDIESEL my age didnt teached me the place of those things... car love did ;)
The question was , if anyone has made this, where were the closest point's in order to connect the wires.
But no arm done, i managed to place it today.
But i didnt put my car up, so there are still 2 points missing ( transmission and engine block )
So now i have 2 more mods on my K8.
Mazdaspeed GroundWire Kit and some black Altezza's

OMO, the ground wire DOES NOT give any extra power to the car ( i know that it is not fully assembled ) but it does help on this features:
Headlight's are really bright
Radio sounds better
Less stall on each gear change
Car start's really fast

It seems to me , that it makes the car act like it had some wrench time spent ;)

Ok, the groundwire is placed, but today i got 2 new mod's for the car.
An S2000 style start button, and a Demon Tuning RACE Mode kit
This last part it connects to the "air intake temperature sensor" ... "IAT"

Just look at these pictures, is this the IAT ??

"race mode kit"? Is that basically just a fancy resistor that makes you run rich? and why did you ground the block at some random point in the middle? It looks retarded with that wire strewn around.

thats the VAF connector my friend. and i think that you make the ground wires a little more tidier, try using cable ties.

Any way I dont get the need of that sensor trick. Since you can run the richest the engine can by floor the acelerator. It's the TPS job...

I dont think that the stock fuel pressure is the highest this engine can support.
Every car i had till today, and they were a few ... has had the fuel pressure raised and boy could i feel the difference

In this car i want to try this too ;)
The sensor is just a tricky sissy button... i ordered it just to make a pair with the S2000 style start button i ordered. Since my car's ex owner did something weird with two holes on the dashboard, these 2 button's will cover that ;)
Ill take pics later and show you in MX3.pt :wink:

He placed 2 lightbulbs on the dashboard, that weren't even connected ...

I have just bought a S2000 Starter Button and a Race Mode kit.
The Race mode kit is allready in it's place, but i didnt have time to enlarge the plastic bit under the dashboard so i could put the starter on it's place. Ill do it on the weekend.

The ground wire to the valve cover is doing nothing there.
