anyone know where to get random connectors for the engine bay? something im interested in doing is getting the 3 acd connectors and making a clean extension harness in order to relocate the pump and minimize cutting. any info would help. thanks

 

Pull the pins out of the connector, carefully undo them and free up the wires. Extend the wires, put the pins on the end of the now extended wires, carefully recrimp, and solder for security.

 

spooling up has most evo connections. with or with out pigtails

 

Spoolinup does have lots of connectors, but not the ones for the ACD as far as I'm aware. I'd still go with the middle suggestion of pulling out the pins and extending.

 

Do you mean the Proportioning Valve, Pressure Sensor and Electric Motor connectors?
These are not so random. They are in fact very common. The one for the valve is the same as your cam sensor (Spoolinup has these). The pressure sensor is AMP 070 Econoseal. The motor connector is the same as DSM or Mitsubishi ABS pump motor. I think the best way to extend wires is have both the male and female connectors and plug it in as an extension adaptor. That way there is no modification or damage to the original harness. If you cant get a hold of new connectors and terminals, snip some pigtails from the junkyard and solder the wires together without tampering with the terminals.

You might be able to find a local supplier. Here are some example pics of what I think you are looking for.

thanks for this you read my mind as to what I was planning. im going to double check my connectors and let you know how it all turns out.

 

Where are people mounting their pumps and reservoirs? Aren't there locations from the non-usdm versions?

 

Either in the trunk or under the car behind the rear wheel is where they get relocated. Non-usdm version have it mounted in the trunk but I forget which side since the left has the tools for the spare tire and the right side has the spray bottle.

 

So the connector you posted and linked are both correct when I compare them to the photo I took today. The third connector the power connector is a 2 pin and I cant find them online for sale but I will check an ABS pump motor from my buddies dsm to confirm. Thanks again for this info.

 

Non US cars have the ACD/AYC pump mounted just behind left rear wheel, underneath the car (drivers side for the US). The reservoir is located in the Trunk (sort of the same spot as wiper fluid, but other side of car). I believe the person to blame for this is big Arnie and his Californian mates. Harsh emission standards require USDM car to have extra pollution gear near the fuel tank. This required the ACD pump to need to be relocated to provide room for extra pollution gear. This is the story I have heard, I have no way to verify the accuracy.
