You should do a write up on the haltech install when you get there. Id be interested to see what it involves.

Will most likely be doing that. It'll be a guide of me following another guide lmao. guideception. Going with the hall effect crank and cam sensors, all i'm missing to install the haltech is a 626 alternator. Low $$ right now from buying other parts.....

Make sure to get the 626 alternator harness. I got mine from the junk yard

Oem alternator is controlled by the stock ecu, the 626 alternator is regulated without relying on the ecu if memory serves me right.

What JDM said. The oem alternator will NOT run when switching to aftermarket cam and crank sensors. Since I'm switching to hall effect sensors for my haltech install, I need to get the 626 alternator which doesn't rely on the ecu and stock cam and crank sensors.

Here's the guide I used for wiring in the Haltech: https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/sho...-Haltech-Sprint500-Protege-installation-Guide
He has helped me out with a few questions and I really appreciate the time and effort he put into making this for everyone!
Lots of Progress today! Started off by test fitting my new gauge setup. I think it will look awesome when its completed. Just need to get an AEM oil pressure gauge and a single din radio. Don't worry about the paint on the bezel. I already have another bezel that I need to sand down and paint. Just have been super lazy to do that.
Now onto the tedious stuff. Started off by marking the wires that need to be cut on the engine harness with tape and the pin number. Not going to be doing any cutting now until I receive my cam and crank sensors along with the 626 alternator. I had to decide on a mounting location for the Haltech ecu. Ended up going with the same location that I had my SSAFC at. Since the Haltech is a little bit longer than the SSAFC, I had to cut up my glovebox even more so everything would fit.
I then measured the amount of wire I needed from the Haltech harness and then cut the rest I didn't need.

Thanks for the awesome guide ap123!
Now for the extremely tedious part. Pinning just about every wire on the Haltech harness. My fingers were destroyed after I finished everything lol. Took me about an hour and half to finish. Half of the harness was pretty easy but then my fingers started to hurt around that point. I just kept on going as I wanted the harness done today.
All the wires that i'm going to be using are now pinned. Time to place all the wires in the Deutsch connectors.
The 99% almost completed harness! Pretty proud of myself for completing this. I double checked every wire was crimped good and followed ap123's pin out guide. Super helpful! I'm just stuck on one wire and messaged ap123 for clarification. Once that's settled, the harness will be 100% completed.

Installed the painless fuse block. Mounting wasn't that hard but trying to work in that tiny space is tough. All the wires are ran where they need to go. Pretty simple install.
Power wire and circuit breaker for the painless fuse box. One side was not connected as I had to find a 12v source with ignition ON. Had to run to walmart really quick to pick up a multimeter.
Found a fuse that had 12v with ignition ON and used the supplied wire mounting thingy. Dont know what its called.
Installed a switch right above my alarm keypad thingy which is for the launch control on the haltech. Flames and afterfire coming soon maybe

Are you planning on running the current motor on the haltech? Or is the car going to be down until the new motor goes in?

I would like to get the Haltech running with the current motor. When the forged engine is ready, I will already have a driveable tune that I could break the engine in with.

I'm also going to change my fuel setup at the same time I install the Haltech so I dont have to mess with the fuel map or get it retuned

Again, here's the guide I used for wiring in the Haltech in case you guys missed it in the previous post: https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/sho...-Haltech-Sprint500-Protege-installation-Guide
He has helped me out with a few questions and I really appreciate the time and effort he put into making this for everyone!
Finally replaced my passenger side half-shaft. Went to 3 shops and none of them could break the nut loose. I ended up drilling and basically cutting the nut in half lol. What a pain in the ass!
Also put the deutsch plugs onto the engine harness so I can just plug it into the haltech harness when everything else is ready. Now all that's left to do is to mount the 2 hall effect sensors, wire in the 626 alternator, wire in the intake and coolant temp sensors, and get my fuel setup finished. Almost ready to fire up the haltech!

Been super busy with school, almost finished with this semester. Just one more week and the haltech will finally be going in. Gonna wait till winter break to install it. Kinda been doing stuff here and there, thought it was time for an update.
My Deatschwerks fuel pressure regulator and gauge came in (e85 capable). Had a Deatschwerks fuel pump and injectors, might as well and get their regulator lol. Fuel pressure set by having the car idle and disconnecting the vacuum line to the fpr. This simulates WOT. Pressure is set at ~43 psi @ WOT. ~32 psi idle.
Russell fittings installed on the fpr.
Braided Nylon Hose (e85 capable) built by Summit Racing. Custom lengths to my setup. Not gonna lie, the fittings arent the best quality, had one leak but Summit replaced it with another hose assembly. Been checking to make sure none of the others are leaking. Might just end up switching to Russell fittings if I find more leaks.....
Mock up of my new fuel setup
Took me a while and quite some research time but finally figured it out. 5/16" SAE hardline to -6an fitting is what I used to connect the braided lines to the hardline on the firewall. What a pain in the ass it was to get my hands in there to tighten them down. p.s. dont mind the dusty drawer lol. Wiped it down after I took the pic.
All of the stuff above now installed on the car
Made a bracket to hold up the fpr. Just needs a little more reinforcement and it'll be 100%
Last piece of the new fuel setup that is missing. In-tank fuel filter with Deatschwerks 300c fuel pump. Going to have fuel for days lol
Used Fidanza flywheel with new friction plate kit came in. One more thing to check off of my checklist
I also picked up this gem for a hell of price. Had to drive an hour to get it, worth it. Wanted to get rid of that ugly factory strut bar. Needs a new sticker and a good polish.
Dam! Thats shiny! lol Now polished with sticker removed. Might leave it the way it is.
The bracket for the fpr was not finished in these pics so its just chillin there hanging lol.

Nice update! Lots of goodies. Fuel system is crazy.

Fuel system is now 100% complete minus injectors. Cant run big injectors on stock ecu. Gonna change them out when the haltech is up and running! Car started right up with the new pump. Everything is looking good!
