Custom Engine Harness Installation - RA24 Toyota Celica Project

[@panicwire]

Very cool guys. Thanks a ton for making us a part of this project. I can't wait to see this thing running! To anyone looking for a similar setup: We offer a budget harness and ecu combo featuring the link G4M ecu, brand new harness, and support for stock throttle or ITB. NA or turbo. We produce them all the time so there's no lead time like a custom job. Please email for pricing. Thanks.

[@speedacademy]

Thanks for all the support, Mark! Couldn't have gotten this far without the Panic bros knowledge on this car and engine combo.

[@krazed0451]

Your website music is pure gold!

[@panicwire]

Thanks! watch?v=9717GzHAK_M

[@rtsoccerplayer]

Lol I love the ending music. And I love how DP pronounced Celica both ways at the beginning, thus avoiding contraversy

[@earnestbunbury2103]

That in itself is controversial...

[@Aiello_]

i love when you end these episodes with Initial D music, it makes this project feel that more special haha can't wait to see more!

[@The_True_]

Like the pop up correction shots during your usual awesome projects, and the return of Ken and Moose announcement is a sweet bonus! Have a four dude shop party and get Connie ready to shred! Great work! ✌😎🚗💨💨💨

[@ZoltarSoulFunk]

I love the way you introduce every Connie video with both pronunciations. Very diplomatic Dave. 👌

[@earnestbunbury2103]

It's only half stupid that way...

[@mentals555]

Bought a sticker and shirt from you guys! The only channel I would actually consider supporting. This broke college student will take his $3 5hp gain and run with it!

[@speedacademy]

Thanks for the support! Hope the sticker delivers the advertised HP gains ;)

[@earnestbunbury2103]

But he's running with it, not driving... lel

[@frun4]

Some real progress on the Celica lately, keep it up guys! I'm excited to see this old girl run soon

[@doctorlobsteroctopus]

I can tell the editing is getting better and better, great work guys. Also, I should have my mr2 sw20 up and running soon, so here's to the 3sgte/3sge life!

[@gaundy22]

Loved the video guys. You deserve the 1 million subs over certain other channels.

[@ByronLee1986]

That initial D ending tho!! Lol

[@codyheizler7294]

Keep it rolling guys! Love the MR2 clip. That was hilarious

[@X7Rotary]

Love this build series the most so far! Cheers from Ottawa

[@bcs127]

This project is the reason I subscribed, but i'm loving all your projects. I have a '74 celica that I am getting started on, and your build is some great inspiration.

[@cristianjrosas2356]

I get more and more inspiration for my Celica build from you guys :) And remember we still have to gather up some 1st gens and do an all-celica race at Pikes Peak! haha Keep it up guys :)

[@speedacademy]

Haha, we've already put that race on our schedule ;)

[@jonkat323]

So much Connie content, I love it!

[@ChaseDiaz_garage_works]

That outro song. Lol nice touch.

[@AngryBird0110]

Big fan of the channel. Cheers from Oregon!

[@andreasbragjonsson5039]

Awesome work, Like the seats installtion, Greating from sweden,

[@tsdelosa]

Lol, it was my MoTeC M1 ecu in the celica featured at 3:40 with the 2j swap that broke the lugs off the wheels.

[@BryceandKyle]

I need to challenge Mark at Panic to wire me up a 1st gen 1UZFE to 1977 280z. I'm not looking forward to trying to integrate into the crusty Z wiring. Connie is coming along fast since the new shop is here, I'm hyped for you to get it done Dave.

[@panicwire]

I've got some exciting 1uz products coming soon :)

[@BryceandKyle]

**Rubs hands together & waits eagerly**

[@speedacademy]

We're pushing hard! Should finally fire it up next week :D

[@BryceandKyle]

Don't go getting me all excited like this. It's cruel! I wish you the best of luck for a first crank start!

[@b5454]

Another quality video

[@wilsonyang2209]

That drifting in the beginning was from USAIR in Shawano, WI!!!

[@wolfy9005]

2:45 Those wheel studs exiting stage left so hard, jesus

[@polo5012]

Picked up some stickers for the Evo and laptop a couple days ago😬 my laptop is going to be so fast!

[@MLeeder53]

idk why but I cant wait to see some body work on this car. Its clean so it doesn't look like it needs a lot but new paint and what color you go with. Probably quite some time down the road.

[@speedacademy]

We'll (mostly likely Ken) will be fitting up the TRD fender flares and spoilers soon so we get a sense of how well the new wheels and tires fit, but full body and paint will likely not be for a few months yet.

[@AngelFloyd27]

Rage your dream, love it!

[@kyle99gtp]

Amazing project guys, thanks for documenting so much of it! This will definitely be helpful in the future when I start making moves on a similar project. When everything is all said and done will there be a way to see all the parts that went into the project to make it all happen?

[@ViperKillerWannabe]

I gave you guys a like for the Initial D outro music.

[@krazed0451]

Holy fuck, the music on the custom wire harness website gave me instant flashbacks to the days of old keygen and cracking software :-P

[@gregandrews9151]

BTW that hole in the firewall is for the a/c lines

[@marc9283]

Will there be another update on Ken's RX-7? The intro always makes me think about that car :D

[@marc9283]

oh nvm... i wrote this before seeing the whole video. Nice!

[@RobertKohut]

Just pledged....I love stickers!! Don't be shy!!

[@speedacademy]

lol stickers coming at ya...

[@enduronorthnz6437]

And its a quality NZ ecu :)

[@speedacademy]

South island, though, bro ;) Dave's been to Christchurch, now he has an excuse to go back for another visit. Such a beautiful country, the roads on the south island are just epic (haven't spent much time on the north island but we assume it's similar).

[@aussiebloke609]

Hope you guys have a rubber grommet lined up for that harness...and I can't wait to see y'all struggle to get the connectors to pass through it! :-D

[@speedacademy]

Yup, we have an OE grommet but may try K-tuned's new firewall grommet setup out for size.

[@JCE10NYC]

Nice wiring for the Celica, are the Rays for the S14?

[@mrmidnight32]

JCE10NYC saw those too. Looks like it haha

[@speedacademy]

Yup, you'll see those next week in Ep1 of the S14 rebuild.

[@akel8587]

Should have gone with the racepak smartwire for my Celica too, I bought an Infinity Box 20 circuit set instead. Smartwire is so much more compact, ah dangit

[@elimk2vr6]

Love the Outro music

[@krazed0451]

You're using the access hole for the steering shaft on the RHD model to pass your wiring harness... 'Twas a shared chassis ;-)

[@blos90]

Daaaaamn!!

[@SlAyer64R]

We want moose and Ken back!

[@alexjapanski6806]

No please no

[@mrmidnight32]

Can't wait until this thing fires up. Any word on that AEM AFR giveaway? If it's already done I have to order mine off amazon for my turbo Z. I'm holding off just in case by a miracle I win it I won't have to buy mine 😂😂

[@speedacademy]

Haven't done the giveaway draw yet, we'll update everyone via a Tune-Up video soon. Sorry to keep you waiting.

[@danpye8633]

And don't order from Amazon...order from www.speedacademy.shop

[@e32amgfinatic]

Love the initial d outro music hahaha

[@freestyleskyline]

VVTi not VVTL... its not a nissan sir @ 2:07

[@cielosnegro]

WAHHHH that outro music!!!!!

[@PK-R]

Cool car

[@therealboofighter]

That’s the best MR2 video you could find? Lol.

[@earnestbunbury2103]

Boosted boi

[@andrewcoleman9527]

I thought it was perfect haha

[@samsonian]

Andrew Coleman quite the endorsement! “The BEAMS motor (3SGE) has so much power it will make you wreck your MR2...just what a growing MisterDeux needs!”

[@wiliambanquiter8039]

KENWAGON!!!!

[@gimmethecarkeys]

Yay Ken!

[@freestyleskyline]

isnt that hole where your heater core used to be?

[@RobertKohut]

Nice!!

[@pFbSpecV]

You guys still have the mullet mustang!??

[@hondatrix]

Nice, whens the header coming back?

[@speedacademy]

Monday she'll be home from coating.

[@hondatrix]

Did you do a video on ceramic coating? Thanks

[@FlavorTree]

START IT ALREADY!

[@speedacademy]

next week

[@urdad1984]

Some 1point3 drifto footage in dere?

[@Tdogz5o8]

Omfg the initial d music!!!!

[@yjcowboy]

why relays with the smart wire?

[@seandonaldson5084]

So will all this get torn down after mock-up for paint?

[@speedacademy]

yessir

[@bobothegreat3519]

You guys should checkout my friends channel Dads Toy Garage Dev J. He is working on a 73 Celica restoration and a 73 Celica with a ford eco-boost motor.

[@speedacademy]

Cool, will check it out!

[@99trev2jzgena-t8]

How much can I get that exact engine harness to the link storm wiring harness for ??? Is there a link to buy it

[@Limeayy]

Initial D ending songs baby

[@dynokill]

Is the car going to eventually get a fresh paint job?

[@speedacademy]

Absolutely. Hopefully sometime this spring/summer.

[@bigmattolly4910]

Hey guys did you just run the harness through the heater hose hole ?????

[@speedacademy]

Nah mate, the heater hose pass-thru is right behind the cylinder head.

[@bigmattolly4910]

Indeed I think it's the air/con pass through ? You guys have 4x60 anyways :) Hey can you get me some of that fuel hose and I'll buy some merch for your troubles

[@davegt27]

Heater Core?? where does it go through the fire wall also what's a PDM??

[@speedacademy]

Heater core is gone, it dry rotted in the desert, not going to replace it (we'll be plugging/welding up all the holes in the firewall before paint). We are installing a small blower motor/defroster for the windshield, though.

[@speedacademy]

PDM = power distribution module, which is a solid state replacement for the traditional fuse panel setup. So the Smartwire gets power from the battery and then distributes it throughout the car to power all the accessories, headlights, etc.

[@davegt27]

I see thanks

[@tuurbow]

are you going to paint the car and engine bay or just leave it primered?

[@speedacademy]

it will be professionally painted this spring/summer

[@matthewto9726]

NANI?! KANSEI DORIFTO!

[@haydenmorris9478]

Do you plan to freshen up the engine

[@speedacademy]

We put fresh Iridium spark plugs in it, will of course do an oil change and coolant change, we changed out the timing belt and tensioner in a much earlier episode, but other than that we're just gunna send it #larryenticer69

[@TheStwat]

Did you not sell the Mustang?

[@speedacademy]

Yup, it's gone. We delivered it a day or 2 after this was shot.

[@TheStwat]

That's cool. More funds for more projects :)

[@Ngontih]

Oof that ending

[@JoseGarcia-yz3yb]

how much do those ecu's go for?

[@Link_ECU]

Our ECU's range from NZ$900 to NZ$2600 + local taxes and shipping. Check out our dealer page at www.linkecu.com/dealer-network/ to find your nearest stockist.

[@Mike_Pedals]

Are you gonna paint Connie or no?

[@speedacademy]

yessir

[@Mike_Pedals]

Speed Academy hopefully something period like the Orion Turquoise Metallic or Scandinavian Sky is esspecially attractive imo.

[@_Greasyzoku_]

2 people hate the way you pronounce Celica lol

[@earnestbunbury2103]

We of the silent majority despise it as well...

[@1one3_Racing]

Dave is sponsored by Link.....

[@JorgeGameiro]

were is the s2000 ppl?

[@speedacademy]

machine shop is waiting on the sleeves for the block.

[@RobertKohut]

LOL...The last time I did an engine swap it was much easier wiring. Wire to the starter, wire to the alternator, wire to the coil, wire to a temp sensor, wire to an oil sensor and a wire to the choke. Connect the battery and start it, done!!.....LOL...LOL (How old I am... :-( )

[@samsonian]

Robert Kohut well, if it was 12v Cummins you would have a couple extra wires with the setup you named (just kidding if it was going to be a quality install but those things don’t even need an electrical connection to keep running). Besides the starter and alternator they don’t need any more wires but you might want a temp sensor/oil pressure/EGT, maybe a boost gauge...

[@aaronbryan5095]

That outro, them feels. Just imagining how your Celica would be like makes me wet.

[@wima4898]

When someone goes to jail in Canada do they stay in cells or seals? Thats your answer on the proper way to say Celica.

[@aronharper7001]

Not to brag but I have the same gym pants

[@alanbuckingham2713]

Hair loss alert! That cap is being used often now PT!

[@speedacademy]

Haha, easy sailor. Pete's still got a giant mop of hair compared to Dave.

[@fwar83]

Saying it both ways somehow makes it worse

[@jeffg377]

NO MOOSE PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!
