Can't really tell the difference in the photos but the silicone spray is applied

I bought about 5 different crimpers on the cheaper end of the spectrum and out of all of them I have found these to work the best for small terminals

Decided it would be easier to run most the wires with the front cradle outside of the car. I'm labeling each wire as I go so I can get it to the correct pin on the MIL connector on the firewall.

First step in rebuilding stock connector is to disassemble and remove old terminals. It's fairly straightforward and they make tools like he one in the picture that aids in popping out the terminals. I had to remove all the rubber seals from these wires because I didn't think about buying new though that would probably be easier.

These are the connectors I like to use when splicing multiple wires together. They are waterproof crimp and solder. You have to carefully heat the whole assembly to melt the solder without melting the shrink material. Here you can see the connector crimped but not yet heated

The two cooling fans are wired in parallel so there will be no high and low setting just on or off. Here you can see the lowside fan relay trigger being inserted. The two fans will both run off of the "Fan 2 relay"

Hopefully get to installing all these wires into the MIL connector that interfaces at firewall tonight, firing up the AEM to sync timing and diagnose any wiring issues.

Thanks to Kolt I am able to utilize the stock fuse box to run fuse/relay for the cooling fan and the main EFI relay which powers the coils, injectors, widband sensor, and cam/crank hall effect sensor. Here you can see power wires and lowside relay trigger for EFI relay which is the old "Fan 1" relay.

In order to use a timing light I borrowed I hacked off the rubber boot on an old lead so I could stick it in the coil and have it make contact.

Rigged up a piece of stainless wire to make it easier to use a timing light to sync the engine with the AEM. The numbers on the ATI are freaking tiny and this process was a PITA.

I felt bad cutting into these floor mats but turned out alright I think.
