You cannot pass a wire through a bulkhead into fluid like that. The submerged fuel pump connector is not sealed, so fuel will wick its way up that wire and out of the tank. Just FYI.
I’m confused as to what your saying. That wire isn’t submerged...if you look it’s the original wires down to the fuel pump with a new connector under the lid
Custom relay above the tank

via the wire strands, inside the sheathing- right?
Yup. Fluid will get inside the connector in the tank, underneath the insulation, wick its way up the wire, and then leak out at the external connector. You cannot pass wires through a sealed bulkhead for that reason. You have to terminate at the bulkhead inside the tank, pass the current through a bulkhead stud or other sealed connector, and then pick up the current with a new piece of wire once you're through the bulkhead.
So is this okay? Don't actually mind ending in a ball of flame, just as long as its from a spectacular driver crash, not just because the wiring was wonky...
You'll also love that ACT combo. David set you up with that? I love mine
yeah he did...I was nervous for the glory pulls on the stock clutch...so I’ll just change it. I didn’t want to be worried about it at all. Yeah that fan is unreal lol...I opened the hood and was like Jesus lol.
Car is feeling great...around the town cruising is nice. Low boost pulls as well. Car feels like its going to be an animal. A few minor things to adjust but overall car feels awesome. Thanks to Sixshooter for taking the time to help with the laptop.

I gladly work for booze and food.
It really feels eager and lively. The turbo comes on abruptly for its size. The engine makes significant vacuum at idle, more than mine. I'm looking forward to the track now.
Nice!
I am happy to compare a timing table with you, bit it would be apples to oranges.
Lol I appreciate it...Im planning on running the car ultimately between 25-30psi on 93 so I need to fine tune my spark table for that. On the dyno obviously I plan to do my glory pulls with some other table for whatever jungle juice I choose. Ultimately this car will spend its life running 93 since E85 isn't common here in Florida. Plan is to put 110 unleaded or something else just to see what number I can make. I've found spark tables up to my goal kpa but all are for e85. Ill keep browsing and seeing what I can come up with. Thanks for the offer.

How much more power do you think you will get out of E85? Im near Wesley Chapel and going with a very similar setup on my Exocet
Another local Exocet build? Sometimes I really wish I had one. With the weight savings, a 300 horsepower Exocet has to feel like a 450 horsepower Miata. Even more so being in the open air.
