S2000 Air Suspension Install | Accuair ENDO | Part 2

Published by Lan on

Having going over what we’re working with for the bag install, part two of this multipart series is putting together the Accuair ENDO system.

Pre-Installation Prep

Removing the carpet, spare tire in the trunk, both front seats, and some panels is necessary for routing wiring. There are a lot of clips that need to be removed in order to take the carpet out in the trunk. Make sure to keep them in a safe place so they can be put back later…

Empty trunk

The picture below shows the trunk completely empty, but I ended up putting the deck portion, spare tire parts, and carpet back. It made a nice flat spot to put the Endo tank on temporarily.

As for the seats, there are two 12mm bolts for the front and two 14mm bolts in the rear. There are also some harness clips underneath that need to be disconnected before the seat can come out completely.

Drivers side seat out. The passenger is similar. Definitely needs a vacuuming :p

The door sill, foot-well panel, b-pillar panel, and rear panel behind the seats needs to be removed to get space accessible to run all the wiring for a clean install. The door sill easily pops up. Just pull firmly. Once that is out it’s clear what needs to be removed so that the foot-well, b-pillar and rear panel can come out. Both the driver’s and passenger’s side need to be done.

Once all is out for both the driver and passenger, the final result below is good enough to get going.

Power Wires for the ENDO System

The compressor inside the tank needs a power source. The provided ENDO power harness can be used as is, if the car battery is in the trunk. If not, Bagriders has a purchasing option of a “Single AccuAir ENDO Compressor Power Kit” for applications with the battery in the engine bay.

From Left to Right Bagriders Power Kit: Ground Wire, Power Wire, End Connectors, Fuse Holder, 2 Wire Splicers, Endo Harness on far right.

Included are two 4 gauge wires with connecting components. For the S2K we’ll mod the ENDO power harness.

The power (red) plug has 6 wires coming from it, 3 red (power) and 3 black (ground) that needs to be cut, stripped, inserted and tightened into the wire tap included in the power kit and attached and connected to its respective bigger gauge copper wire.

Cut Endo harness. Don’t forget the strip all the wire ends!
3 Power wires from Endo harness into wire tap. Do the same for the 3 small black ground wires.
Bigger gauge ground wire into the wire tap. Do the same with the power wire.
Attached terminal connectors.

Routing of the Wires

The power wires will go from the trunk, through a space behind where the spare tire was located, along side the door sill, and up to a firewall hole right where the battery will be. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Remove the battery at this point if it isn’t. Luckily, there are no factory wires running through the channel making for a really convenient location to run the flexible, but large power wires. Make note of this route as the 3P power lines will follow this path too.

Power wires from the trunk…
Through this panel…
Along the door sill carpet. Lift on the white plastic to get access to tuck the wires nicely…
To this hole where the harness can be seen
This is where the hole goes to. Red wire is from an already installed amp. How the wires will look coming through the hole is personal preference.

Notice how I didn’t mention to splice in the fuse holder onto the power wire? Now would be a much better time to do it after passing it through the firewall. Don’t forget to take the fuse from the ENDO harness and attach it to the new fuse holder.

Attached ground to where factory battery is bolted to the chassis.

ENDO Accessory Wire

The accessory (blue) plug has a few wires coming from it but the one that matters for this is the orange one. This wire signals the ENDO system to turn on. It’ll need to be connected to an ignition source – make a note of this for now as I’ll get to where it’ll hook up to next time…

That’s it for power to the ENDO system. Next time will be hooking up Airlift’s 3P system. Stay tuned RICECARDRIVERS!
