Got some work done on my 7 today I mocked up my meth kit here some pics. Tubby's car is close to starting but he's lazy I'll up date again when he's running here's some pix of his car too

 

Well did it again...
Gave the car back to Dave at speed1 for a 4in Dp, wire my meth kit and retune the car.. Three months, 80 dyno pulls, 20lbs, and 389whp later, was finally able to pick up the car. Was told I had a few minor issues nothing to big I couldn't take care of myself. Excited to have my car back again, pull out of speed1s drive way hit first gear cracked my rear plate oil every where again..
Why?
Anyway Looking for a S5 rear plate with large dowel landing..
Thanks
James

 

Usually people put the meth pump lower than the reservoir. It's possibly it was pumping air instead of meth?

 

Dude, that SUCKS!!

I love Speed1, however, every now and then, every pro gets a problem child. Your car might be Speed1's problem child... Might want to have somebody else work on your car.

Again, sorry to hear about your engine troubles

 

was it doweled?

that sucks...

but 80 dyno pulls? a bit excessive.

 

So maybe the third times a charm? Motors back together...Bought a bunch new stuff, motor made 392 at 18lbs, had him turn the boost up a little higher to break 400. Hope to get the car back wendsday, need new rims and tires to get it to hook, hopefully it won't stop me from bouncing off the 2 step and laying down some rubber.

 

GLAD to hear you are back in bussines

How did the tuning this time around?

 

Dave said tuning went well, after he worked all the little bugs out. It made 411 at 23lbs he turned it down to 21, so I should be right at 400. He said traction is a big issue, so off with the 18in rubber bands I just picked up a set of 17in cobra rims gonna put some sticky 275s on the back hopefully they help, not just break things. Hope to pick the car up as soon as I get a day off of work

 

CONGRATS dude, those are awesome numbers!

 

great to hear you sorted it all out, good work mane!

 

nice build. mine is at speed1 too. hope I don't run into any issues.

 

I've been driving the car around at 15lbs and it's really fast. I haven't turned the boost up yet, gotta get used to the car again first. Got the cobra r rims gonna get some nitto nto1s in 275 to keep the *** on the ground. If I mash 2nd I leave strips right now. I also bounced it off the two step a couple times pretty nasty.. I'm happy with the car, will be happier with new tires

 

wut kinda power r u at on 15lb?

 

NICE dude, glad to hear that a fellow rotary enthusiasts is finally able to enjoy his creation

What tires (size) are you currently running?

Hmmm, 2 step, that's something that I will set up at some point

 

Right now I got saleen reps 18x9 and 18x10.5
245/35/18 f
265/35/18 r
Continentals almost bald. Even when the tires were good, I feel like the side wall are just to thin and the tires aren't made for traction.. Hooked up the line lock today had some fun trying to get the most out of these tires.

 

 

Got my wheels and tires on car plants hard no more spin. Makes the front fell like ice skates. Gotta rent a fender roller cuz when the car squats it rubs the sidewall on the quarter like 1/2-1/4in. I brought to car to work, on some down time i was abled to clean and organize it needs a few more small things, but I'll be ready to turn the boost up soon. Overall I'm pretty happy to have the car back. wish it wasn't gonna rain all week

 

CONGRATS dude! I too had to roll the fenders, and I ended up chirping the paint in the process

No more rubbing tho!

Post pics when you get a chance.

 

What a thread.. made me very nostalgic reading it over 10yrs later lol. Had her out almost all month cleaned up a bunch of stuff.. Just put in all new speakers. Still a ton of work to do.. but she’s getting there.. after all the ups and downs I still love this thing..
Also **** speed1 they never matched my mechanical timing to my electronic which cost me all those plates..

 

i think you have ascended to the final level of this game we all play. so you deserve congratulations ....

your car is running and you get to enjoy it, but above even that aspect of it, is the fact that you still have the love/passion, so you want to enjoy it.

 

Thanks man.. I’m sure I have to post this somewhere else too, traffic here looks really scarce these days..One of my biggest peeves is that I have to rev it, to excite the alternator to charge.. I have a S6 alt and I’ve read the FAQ for wiring.

im not sure how they wired it but it’s not good.. KOEO I get 12v on all three… I know I’m supposed to have 1v.. my cluster looks to receive its signal from the haltech because even with the connector disconnected from the alt the cluster still reads the batteries voltage..it’s a non turbo both black and white and white and black wire should be In the same connector… I cannot find these wires from the idiot lights..

this connector is the only one on the ps kick panel.. I cannot find FEM-01 at all.. looks like most these wires goto the wiper motor via a stock harness they’ve altered..


I’ve also looked for FE-03 which is for turbo motors it’s also not there..

according to this guy the idiot lights add resistance to the system which is needed.. so when I turn the KOEO battery light does not turn on so I checked the bulb it’s ok, so bc I can’t find the white and black wire for the one bolt anywhere else I’ve decide to check the white and black wire at the back of the idiot lights its 12v… I’m at a loss.. I made a jumper with a 150Ohm resister the try to mimic the cluster to no avail.. it does nothing, defiantly didn’t bring it down to one volt ..how can I fix this?

 

Couple pics.. I mounted my boost controller where my cruise switch was.. put a new air filter on the turb, and Tubby’s’ new FD..lets get it

 

Went back and found the old diagram I made. It'll work! For the bulb, think I just used the first small bulb I could find.

 

ok maybe I’m alittle slow.. so I ordered a resister that matched the 470 one and made a jumper to see it it works. It does not.. it there a reason me just putting this resister in line will not work.. do I also need a diode?

 

Based on your schematic, yes, you need a diode if you used an LED bulb. Also your bulb worked for a split second and burned out. Buy a new one, etc. I wired an LED setup four times before realizing my mistake and added the diode. No More Burned LED's. Wire it in the correct direction too. The LED is polarity sensetive too. It is a Light Emitting Diode....LED. If you know how to calculate voltage drop across the resistor, you can get a good idea of the voltage light bulb or LED that you need too. It might just be a simple ohms law calculation based on 12vdc. I am not that smart though.

I don't recall if the log leg of the LED is positive?????
