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.

Car is back home and everything looks awesome...
Front seal on transmission is leaking so need to take it off. While I’m there putting this bad boy in.
Otherwise she’s ready to tune...the spal fan is unreal. It’s like a tornado under the hood with that thing.
In Thailand for 2 weeks so will dive in when I return.

You'll also love that ACT combo. David set you up with that? I love mine

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.

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.

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.
