The "WHITE THUNDER"

UPDATE

the wiring has begun..

[ghetto3]

With your catch can setup, are you venting to atmosphere or recirculating? With the lines teed like that you could use a Moroso small body air oil seperator ( rocket industries No.#m085496) to filter and then plumb back into intake tract for roadworthy compliance.
Neat and compact.

That yellow book on the lounge was a bible when I was playing wires!

[Mad Mat]

Wow that's a good looking unit.. I might just get that.. But I need to find out how much it is and if I can get it in Aus

[ghetto3]

You can order it straight from rocket industries or through autobarn. It unscrews similar to the chase bays design and is fully baffled.
That wiring keeping you up at night eh?

haha yer it was man..

this is why. I have a three wire speedo sensor (+ - and signal) and need to convert it to a two wire (variable reluctance) for my speedo dash to work in my mazda 323 ba (1994-1997)

Here is a web site I'm looking at and it explains it well I just can't seam to find a way to convert it.. And I can't get a two wire sensor for my box. (It's a toyota e series box (SW20))

ok so after talking to my good friend and fellow Adaptronic lover i have found a way.

the thing is converting VR to digital is easy, can do it with just a transistor and a couple of resistors. Going the other way is an entirely different matter. Dacota digital boxes actually do this as a function of their speedo correction, although it's an expensive option compared to 20c in parts to go the other way. Having said that I have no doubt the pulse count will be different so this might be a good way to solve two problems.

1) Digital to VR. Done.
2) Speedo out? No problem, not anymore it's not!

One of these http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.c...roduct_id=126/
See on page one there is a 'Calibrated AC output'? That's your winner. The calibrated OC output you could run to the ECU or to be honest you'd be better off having the ECU read the trans directly.

Your dash connects to the AC output. The OC stands for 'open collector' which is the type of output you get from a 3 wire (hall effect) sensor. The other wire going to the dash will go to ground (not sensor ground), so the 2 wires for your dash should be ground and 'calibrated ac output'

UPDATE.

car was dropped off at the fabricators yesterday to get her exhaust system done..






stainless steel dump pipe thru to a mild steel system with a twin tip..

[Noble323]

Nice !

Love the twin tip look instead of the big 4'' tip that most people get.

Sick mate...not long now till she roars. This car is continually convincing me not to be buy an mx5 to dump my engine into. Whats needed till she's legal as im keen on a cruise with this beast.

Have you still got that turbo block for sale?

Na sold that block ages ago.. But man there is no difference between a turbo block and a Bg dohc block apart from cams and compression.. Turbo motors are 8.2cr and na motors are 9.0

Yer man the system is all done now pick her up tomorrow yay just need to finish the wiring loom off and do all the checks to make sure everything is done up tight and so on.. Then it's starting time woop woop although at this stage she won't be tuned till like September/October. Due to the back log from the tuner..

[Mad Mat]

ITS DONE

[Cosmo Dude]

Soooo shiny and sooooo clean

[ghetto3]

Too shiny. Mate your setting the bar too high. We just cant compete with that
Seriously though props for sticking with it and doing a proper job. Lots of time and cash and research have been poured in and soon you get to enjoy it.

agreed man.. this is the 3 or 4th turbo set I have had lol.. now my issue is i have a gtx head with mx5 Nb cams, valves, springs bla bla bla.. long story short 9mm lift. But as the head (the aluminum block) has been port match but the internals are still the same.. gtx heads have a gide/bump in the intake side for some reason.. i was told it helps with responce.. that was all well and good when i had a vj20 and the vf12 but now i have a tdo516g evo7.5 turbo.. so i think that will restrict me a little.. i have a spare mx5 head here that i could rebuild and throw some cams in too but again thats more money and all i ant to do it drive this thing...

got to ring the tuner and see when i can book it in as last time he was a 4 month wait.. which is ok give me time to save for the tune..

[derb]

Pretty sure those 'bumps' are to help tumble the air around a bit to ensure a proper fuel/air mix by the time it gets pumped into the cylinder.

[project.r.racing]

NB cams do not have 9mm lift. unless you got aftermarket?

the intake bumps are there for a reason. big turbo and increased lag means these become mute.

[Mad Mat]

Sorry intake is 8.2 and exhaust is 8.7

[project.r.racing]

8.3 and 8.9. but close enough. haha

[ghetto3]

C'mon son...where is the update? Need pics and info on what needs done till its on the road.

Im calling SHOTGUN too!

[Mad Mat]

Hahahha you will have to get online mate haha

But yes I will update here in the next few days I've got a lot to fill everyone up on..
