Okay Fellas, I’m having another go at installing the paddle shifters. Upon removing he steering wheel airbag, the solid copper doorbell wire I used piped right out of the socket.. It was not ment for this. Using the left over 550cc injector clip wires to solder on the ends . Also soldering everything this time(Now that I own a solving gun). It wasn’t hot enough to solder the starter wire(speaker wire) to the modified starter, but it’s perfect for this. Going to try to be as detailed as possible for Zeta.

Well done Alex. That looks as organized as a Mayo stand ready for an operation.

As they say: 'God is in the details'
A lot of the time, the answers are to.
Shifter end wiring was right and soldered. So I reassembled the interior. Steering wheel column end now has correct 14g wiring soldered and ready to be put into the column clip. Steering wheel still needs to be rewired/soldered.
I would put a small tie wrap around both, then one across that tie wrap and the module to ensure they can't back out.
although they probably won't anyway if it's a tight fit.
New battery box fits like a glove. At 6’2” I fit comfortably in the passenger seat and keep most of my range of reclining motion. This box is bigger than the one in the Comptech trunk but is more stable. Turned on the Acura LED light in anticipation of the air suspension kit install.

I tried the new setup yesterday, but have the wires on incorrectly in the clips.
No idea if you got the new clock spring yet, but I did the same thing with it when doing my paddle shifter install.
When trying to rewind it I found out where the ribbons were bent before and did it that way. It's kinda hard to explain, but basically you can't bent all of them in the same place as you end up with the extra.
Shortest one bends and comes back first, then the next one and so on.
ah! Gotcha...
I thought you were doing yours first, then helping him with his.
yeah, good coils over air for performance although I do know it has come a long way.
in for the build. good luck. Yeah with an mp62 eaton blower, you're not gonna be close to 300whp, considering you have a base 5AT. that dynos around 205-215whp stock. with PCD and the blower, you're probably going to push 255-275whp. 300whp is a stretch because of your transmission limitation.
You could be a real man and try to fit an mp90 and modifying your hood. That's a big boy blower.
@OsK
Guess we reached 300whp afterall! How's that M5?
I just read the first few pages of this thread and was amazed at all the support the build recieved. I knew so little of what I was getting myself into then(still don't).

Titanium Valve springs and Retainers for TL-S6. Brian Crower Rods for TL-S6 Upgraded the TL-B5 from 3” to 4” intake. No retune. Installed 04-05 intake manifold and plenum. Bit heavier but better looking Gerzy Bear Performance front bumper. Still need 04-06 grill assembly. Painter paid and ready.
