Sounds positively filthy…love it..can’t wait to hear full chat..

 

Still making progress on this thing. Schedule has been busy with martial arts stuff, but I did test drive it. I need to get a new, new set of half-shaft.. shafts... made to fit better as the ones I had made originally are too short (brain failure on my part). Oh well.

I am finishing redesign of my dash controller to add speed control and a much faster processor (and smaller package). I have it working for RPM already and just need to fix a bug on temperature. Speedometer display works, but I need to sort out some complexity with the VSS on the transmission. I have a combo of 6th and 7th Gen Corvette parts in this car, and thus the speed pickup on the transmission isn't working currently. I'll figure that out.

 

Why not use GPS for speed, it's more accurate anyway... just a thought

 

I would but the ECU needs it for several things.

 

I sorted out transmission speed on the GM ECU, but mostly for no reason as I'm going to pull it apart and put a Motec in it.

Traction control, launch control, dual channel wideband feedback, better engine safety and more headway for future growth on the setup make it seem worth the investment. I'm going to do a fresh tefzel/DR25 harness for the engine while I'm at it. I think I can get the Motec to do the CAN outputs I need to drive the dash as well, so that will simplify things a bit more as well.

I'm planning to hide a keypad in the center console for controlling features/overrides while keeping the interior looking stock, as stock(ish) appearance is still high on my list. Anyway, wiring work to come soon, doing a racing harness on a 2JZ powered Camaro right now.

 

Progress:

 

Designed a simple bracket to hold a MoTeC M142 (or M150) in the OEM position.
Printing one now...

 

Great attention to detail - thanks for sharing!

 

ECU installed and cabled up:

Giant mess of wiring slowly becoming the chassis side interconnect for the engine harness:

 

 

Chassis and engine are all wired up. Currently working through sensor configuration in the M142 and testing all the outputs. Next is building a trans harness, making sure I can control reverse lockout on the shifter and making some minor mods to the radiator. Then it should be fluids and a startup test. Then alignment and tuning!

 

It's alive!


And checked weight (about 99.5% assembled). 3,507 lbs. That's exactly 10 lbs more than before the swap. I'll take that. Working on a few other details now, but close to getting it on the street.

 

Great - you're getting close...
Would be interessting if the F/R weight distribution changed.

 

It is 0.5% more to the front, about 15 lbs. Easy enough to balance out of it.

 

Perfect, so it should really be just gain without pain...
