There is still a bunch of stuff to do before I can fire it up, but i’m getting a battery today, so I plan on testing a few things… it’ll be the first time the car had electricity in 4 years…
I’m shooting to try and start it before the second week in feb…
Rewiring a chassis fucking sucks. When you make an ECU harness, pretty much everything goes from the ECU to a sensor. Usually 1 wire, no splits. Easy. Wiring a chassis is a fucking cocksucker because 1 wire needs to go a million places… For instance a turn signal wire needs to go to: switch, FL turn, RL turn, cluster indicator, and hazard switch. It gets really fucking confusing.
I hate to laugh at ones misery, but I shared your brake switch story and every one here got a chuckel. I’m glad you didn’t freeze to death and I’m excited to see this out and about.
That sucks. I pinched my back between a fram rail and a jackstand, like a gusset, one time pulling a rear axle. I literally thought my insides got flattened. The truck was on stands but the weight of the axle rolling backwards, plus me not being ready when my “helper” let it go, pinned me and took my breath away. Worst pain I ever felt. Took me a good 2 hours to get my breath back…
good luck on getting everything electrically functioning properly the first go-around. that’s got to be pretty satisfying after wiring something that extensive.
you realy should consider doing a cutout like mentioned and just aim the exhaust at the windsheild for when it gets foggy. you better run the turbo intake to the cabin to help recirc the exhaust. This will also give a nice smoked effect for the rotisserie were installing on your driveshaft.
Im currently desiging a system that utilizes the turbo as a meat grinder and the blowoff valve as a sausage maker. this is gunna be one mean meat machine.lol
