No need to de-pin or cut wires. Use a self adjusting automatic wire striper to cut and spread the wire sheathing on the DME/relay wire exposing the bare wire underneath, then wrap new tap wire around the exposed DME/relay wire, solder and wrap with cloth electrical tape. I have used this process for 20 years without fail. I love heat shrink but de-pinning is not easy for someone that doesn’t have the proper tools and hasn’t done it before, it’s not worth the chance of damaging the pins or connector in my opinion. |

Also thanks everyone for the clarification on the depinning. I never had done that before- and was starting to wonder if I should have been doing it all along. |

Depin it….best and easiest way to ensure a solid connection with heat shrink and soldered joint.

For what it's worth, I usually don't depin those two although I always depin the two wires going to the DME as those are a cakewalk to remove. i've never had a connection fail or be intermittent. I think my kit has been on for nearly 9 years at this point.

As others have mentioned, depinning could damage the retaining clip if not done properly. To avoid that potential headache, I used one of the self-adjusting wire strippers and stripped all the wires in a location that gave me wire on either end to re-solder just incase I frayed them or f'd it up in anyways. Once you strip them, its a straight forward process. I used electric tape to cover the connection then wrapped everything up with Tesa 51006 tape for an OEM look/finish.

Got it all resolved today. The connections ended up being soldered, so I just re-wrapped in electrical tape.
There were two mistakes in routing that caused all of the problems. Both the ground wire and the intercooler pump cable were routed along the edge of the engine bay, and then routed to where they needed to go. Ground was connected to the jumper cable ground post, so its an excellent ground. The problem is the harness for each of these is about 4 inches too short to be run this way. The end result is it will pull the relays and fuses out the side of the DME box. For the ground wire, I spliced an extension into the wire, and it works perfectly now. spammysammich showed up with his soldering iron and did the soldering for the extension. Was a big help as the soldering iron I ordered was delayed in shipping. I was anticipating having to do them all today, but knowing the other connections were soldered was great. For the intercooler pump, I disconnected and re-routed the line correctly as described in the harrop manual, and now it can exit the DME box correctly. The one trick that was helpful was this picture from BPMSport . I was wondering when I fixed the routing issues, where do I actually put the fuses and relay? My DME box was basically all full, and as detailed as the harrop manual is, it does not tell you what to do with the harrop relay and fuses. In the photo I noticed that Mike had routed the relay and fuses under the harrop control module. Tried it today and it works great. I didn't think there was enough room under the Harrop control module to do that, but it worked. Harrop should add that to the manual. I wish my DME box was as clean as this. None the less, it is now functional, and the lid is back on it for a long time hopefully. |

Reaching out to all on the waiting list tomorrow to sort out the deposit and get orders officially in the system. 7 or 8 kits will be available. Anyone interested in obtaining a kit please contact us ASAP, those on the waiting list will forfeit their spot if not committed. ETA on these kits is September 2022, so we're 2-3 months ahead of the originally discussed availability schedule. Thanks everyone!

It depends if you are going to track the vehicle. If you daily and your spirited driving keeps your oil temps reliably 225 and lower (center needle is 210), probably no need. The do88 oil cooler is the one that works with the Harrop intercooler. I upgraded my radiator to the CSF this spring. My IATs run reliably 10-15 degrees cooler but the oil temps are pretty much unchanged. Since I don't track the car with prolonged periods of high rpms no need in my case for the oil cooler.

Nonetheless, I wouldn't have a cause for concern to see the pictured temp after some spirited driving on a very hot day. |

That's totally fine. Check your coolant temperature - it's often overlooked how a tired cooling system adversely affects oil temp. Highway driving when hot and humid will significantly raise oil temp as a function of RPM alone.

We were just informed by Harrop that the price of the kit is raising again due to production cost increases. This is the last chance we can offer anyone the existing price.
The cutoff for avoiding the price increase is 8/12/2022. https://www.bpmsport.com/e9x-harrop-...arger-kit.html Let us know if you have any questions. |
