Crimp fitting, solder to cover the open end, marine heat shrink to seal and act as strain relief. That's how I do it at least.

Working on the wiring. I have the main relay and fuel pump relay half wired in this picture. You can see the wiring diagram I created (based on a Megasquirt diagram) that I'm using to wire everything. I only have 30 or so more wires to connect before...

Working on the intercooler piping. This is the pipe to the throttle body with the blow off valve flange welded on. I decided to go with a Type R blow off valve off ebay for simplicity. It came with a nice 2.5" aluminum pipe and flange but I don'...

Most of the fuel injection wiring harness installed. Took a long time but I tracked down factory connectors and terminals for every thing. There are no pigtails and almost no splices in the entire harness. It's just loosely zip-tied here but I'll pul...

Boring the injector bung holes. I used normal water to lubricate the bit so there wasn't any oil to soak into the aluminum and contaminate the weld. I had to constantly spray water but it worked fine. I already spent a lot of time boiling this intake...

Pulled the entire harness out of the car to wrap it up. The whole thing pretty much pops out as a single harness. All the wires terminate in OEM or at least OEM-style connectors. The Megasquirt 37-pin connector has to have the shell removed to fit th...

The tuning software running on the laptop talks to the ECM and the ECM talks to the sensors. I calibrated the TPS right after this but everything else looks normal.

Better lighting. Short pieces of 1/2" threaded rod hold each bung and allow me to adjust the bung height pretty precisely. Had to make the cross pieces angled a bit to account for the angle of the carb mounting pad.

The lower nuts holding the bungs had to be ground down to 3/4" diameter to fit through the holes with the bungs. I ground flats on them so I could tighten them with a wrench. The bungs ended up withing a few thousandths of each other in height. ...
