sweet man

wesome stuff man. i take it you work in a machine shop. my brother is a machinist (thank god too) cuz with the right tools he can do anything, damn engineer brain of his. i'm trying to convince him to learn some stuff on an old head of mine so we can do some work to my car and his mustang if he ever wants to touch it. he is hesitant since it's an 89 GT with 64 k original miles on it and a super clean white on white convert. i told him he can molest my car all he wants as long as it goes faster lolz.

Reps to you, since your the only person to realize Im actually a machinist and not a fabricator. Ended up working til 9 last night...

it's easy to see man esp with some of the things you have made and also with being able to make more mounts. they look clean as hell to. my brother was a machinist in the navy so he learned on all the hands on stuff, no cad etc for making parts on a aircraft carrier. some of the stuff he made by those old machines is crazy as hell too. i have a container that has to be lined up exactly right to open and i have never been able to open the damn thing too!!! g/l on the build i'll check back and see how it runs.

I DEMAND A 1/4 TICKET

















































Please?

[Jenson]

Its coming...gotta get battery, wire in a cigarette lighter for the wideband, and finish off the exhaust. Im hoping to go next Friday, fingers crossed.

[Jenson]

Idk if its going to be running again anytime soon...chasing an electrical gremlin ever since that day it ran fine. Drove it an 1/8th of a mile to get gas and it died when I got back to the house. Ive checked and tested every relay there is, time to start tracing wires I guess. Im about ready to re-wire the whole car at this point

[B18c1Turboed]

Let me know if u need some help man, i became a wiring guru figuring my car out. I know the manual inside and out now. what exactly is it doing?

[Jenson]

At first, the fuel pump wouldnt turn off at key on, and the CEL was on with no codes. After letting it idle and run in the garage I went to the station and filled it up, when I got home it just died like the battery was dead. But when I tried to turn it over it turned on the Rad. fan...more on that later. So I put my charger on it on 100A for about 5-10 minutes and keyed on, fuel pump turned off, cranked right up. So I picked up a new battery, cranked her up, it ran for 30 seconds and shutoff again. At key on the main relay sounded like it was going to explode and the fan still came on instead of the starter turning over. So I took the relay and put it on another car, worked perfect.

Next I pulled the H2B harness off, and attached my stock harness at the 6 main plugs, pulled each and every relay out one at a time, moved ground locations in the engine bay, unplugged the dash harness at the fuse panel, put every relay in another car for testing, pulled the dash out to look for obvious burned wiring, put the Ecu on the other car (the CEL turns off like normal and ran the car fine), un-tapped the wiring at the ecu and fanned everything out, and still with my stock harness only plugged in at the 3 plugs on the passenger side (still had the dash in the car with the hazard plug and hvac harness attached) at key on it goes crazy, and the fan tries to start the car. That guy Murphy is my best friend I tell ya. Tonight Im going to pull out the heater core and blower and start the tracing of the wires I guess. To me its got to be somewhere between the Ecu and those 3 plugs. While Im here I might as well make a nice harness and do away with all the crap I dont need...but I need to start driving it cuz the LS1 needs new valve springs asap.

[B18c1Turboed]

Bypass the main relay and see what the car does then. I bypassed mine and put toggle switch for the fuel pump and ecu. If not 2 wires are touching some where. I would try bypassing the main relay since that controls everything u are having problems with. What engine harness are you using?

[Jenson]

Just a modded Si harness, bought another one cuz I cut the plugs off mine for vtec on another swap I did. I think some wires are touching in the bundle that goes from the Ecu to the Engine bay...the main relay worked fine on the other car. Bypassing it will confirm that its one of those wires though so I can start with tracing them. Thanks for the input, a fresh brain on the subject always helps.

[johnzm]

good luck. its neat to see the project coming to an end. post up what it runs once u get some times.

btw i wish u had lemme know u were gonna use neptune :-P i got all this honda tuning crap and dont need it anymore

[Jenson]

Just waiting on an auction that ends sunday for a new cabin harness...found 6-7 cut wires up near the firewall inside the car, connected them all and still get the same problem. I hate wires.

You got old crap :-P, LM2 FTW

[Vteckidd]

You owe me a ride

[johnzm]

i was actually talking about the ostritch and the datalogging setup, with my laptop which has the full version of crome on it

im keeping ALL of my widebands

[Jenson]

Yea we talked about that one time...the demon seems much better than the ostrich/chrome setup, and I like all the options on neptune. Chrome just seems unstable to me. I could use a new laptop though, my screen likes to shut off all the time. Rides given once I get this gremlin out of the wiring...

[civicnick]

lookin good man. hope you get the bugs worked out of it and get her on the track soon

[Jenson]

I was so going to the track tonight...hope it stays open

[B18c1Turboed]

Nope just got an email,its closed due to forecast!

[SPOOLIN]

[Jenson]

Last night was prolly my only chance to go for about another month too. I may have to get up there on a tuesday.
