V1 ccgillett's Track Goblin - '08 SS/TC

I saw a write up about wiring the tail lights, but the connectors look different than what I received from my car. Does anybody know what type of connectors these are so I can buy the right ones to plug in?

Google image search is no help...

I did not use the DF taillights but if you cannot find a plug to match, amazon sells multiple variations of plugs that can be wired in. I have connected all of my lights and mirrors without a plug but will be ordering something similar to these down the road for the tails, headlights, and mirrors.

Cool, I bought a waterproof connector kit similar to what you showed (I want the crimp tool, and I have other wiring as well) , and with the information in this thread I think I can figure it out

 

[Robinjo]

I cut the end off the DF taillights and bought 4 wire connectors. Wired my own connectors in.

Ok, next question....MAP sensor on the LNF. I have removed the sensor from the manifold, verify that the part number is correct, and that it fits the pipe supplied by DF. This begs the question of how do you plug the hole in the manifold once the MAP sensor has been relocated?

 

[Gtstorey]

LNF has two sensors, MAP sensor in the intake manifold and "low res boost sensor" in the charge piping prior to the throttle body. It needs both and I thought original stock they had the same part number, but rockauto indicates otherwise. They can be the same if you have access to HPTuners to change the settings.

And actually there is non-replaceable pressure sensor built into the ECM for barometric pressure.

 

[ccgillett]

Ok cool. So then the manifold sensor remains in place and the low res sensor goes into the new plumbing?

Same question applies about blocking the sensor hole.

 

[Gtstorey]

No sensor hole to block. One goes in the intake manifold the other goes in charge pipe. What other sensor hole do you have?

except after a little more though it was the GM stage kit that used the same part number sensor, with a new connector on one. One of the original contains the iat sensor and the other doesn’t so different part numbers with different number of wires.

 

[ccgillett]

Ok got it. I will have to search for the one that goes to the charge pipe, I'm admittedly a bit disoriented. I'll search here for photos, etc

 

[Mahkoi]

Left is charge pipe is (4 wire). Right is intake (3 wire) if you are using stock sensors

 

[ccgillett]

So the engine, when I received it, had no stock charge pipe or air intake. It looked pretty much as in this photo:

I wasn't concerned since it all gets replaced with new hardware. I'm guessing that 2nd MAP sensor and the wiring associated with it are gone. I can easily order another one, the question now is where does it plug in to the car?

Also while we're at it, where does the O2 sensor go?

Wondering if something needs to plug in here:

 

[Gtstorey]

Always show plugs in question from the end and identify the wire colors. The service manual has pictures of all of the connectors from the end.

Super helpful, much appreciated.

 

[Mahkoi]

Upstream o2 sensor location. I don't have the heat shields on mine. That plug you show looks like the Upstream o2 connector

 

[ccgillett]

Ok one mystery solved (and I dope slapped myself so you don't have to). Now just need to figure out where to connect the MAP sensor I need to order...

 

[ccgillett]

There is a 2 wire (green/pink) connector running from the same harness junction as the manifold MAP sensor...is it relevant?

 

[Gtstorey]

Last one I answer without an end view. It appears to be the evap purge solenoid. And the wire colors are pink w/ black stripe and green with white stripe. Details matter.

I appreciate your patience and help a lot, seriously. I'm learning a lot with this project. I'm amazed that I get answers from all y'all so quickly and at all hours. Thank you!

 

[Gtstorey]

I posted the picture so you can see what the manual shows and why I want the end view. And some of the connectors are used in more than one spot so need the wire colors.
