    RPM Shift lights

    in Wolf3D

    Posted

    Has anybody configured the RPM Shift lights from one of the spare ignition outputs?

     

    Yup.

     

    Would I be right in assuming that you just connect at light (probably LED) to the ignition output and put a limiting resistor in assuming the output is 12 or 13.5V?

     

    Yes, as long as you understand a couple things...

     

    1) the ignition outputs only pull to ground, so you'll need to provide a power source on the opposite leg. You can use 12v like you suggested, providing a properly sized resistor is used.

     

    2) The drawback to choice #1 is potential risk of the voltage regulator going belly up, sending too much voltage to the LED (and blowing it). In my case, it would be a pain to replace a popped LED. An alternate choice is to use one of the regulated outputs on the V500. There is a spare 5v and a spare 8v power source built in for such occasions. These are regulated so you're reasonably assured a stable voltage regardless of system voltage.

    Let me be the first to say that I'm very pleased. The 'quietness' is a good (albeit somewhat flawed) meter. Along with the build up of cobwebs in the shed, its been a long while since any member was permanently banned. The temporary suspensions have also been reduced to a minor rate. Not bad for 16,0000 members and only a handful of active staff. My hats off to you guy's! :cheers:

    Wolf V500 and Meth Injection - Yep, works beautifully

    I assume I would have the wolf switching an auxiliary relay which would then switch the pump?

     

    Yes. See below.

     

    if so how much can the v500 output relays handle?

     

    If your asking about aux. channel output amperage, the simple answer is... not enough to power a pump.

     

    Amperage breakdown per channel (yes, you can reassign ignition and injection channels to aux. duty)

     

    Injector channels.... 10.2A peek w/2A hold

    Ignition.... 2.2A

    LS1 & LS2.... 2.2A

    LS3.... 3A

    LS4 trhough LS7.... 1A

    All HL channels.... 1A

     

    More than enough for automotive relay's (typically ~.250A), but not enough to direct drive a pump.

     

     

    So I could set the pump up the same was as the fule pump relay with the ECU draggin down the output to enegise the relay?

     

    Yes. Or you can use one of the HL channels and pull it high. Its up to you.

     

     

     

    I just want to setup a basic one to begin with that starts the pump above a certain boost pressure. How would I configure the wolf to do this?

     

    Here's an example...

     

    First, determine which channel you want to use and wire it to a relay. Lets use Aux LS1

     

    Second, go to CONTROL/GENERAL PURPOSE OUTPUTS/GENERAL PURPOSE OUTPUT 1, assign a name (not mandatory, just for reference), turn the activation to "On", and select the aux. channel you wish to control.

    Third, go to CONTROL/GENERAL PURPOSE OUTPUTS/GENERAL PURPOSE OUTPUT 1/GPO SWITCH POINT A, select Activation By: Boost (more on that in a bit), Switch Point: 2.4 PSI, Hysteresis: 1 PSI (boost must drop 1 PSI from the switchpoint, before pump will switch off, 1.4 PSI in this case), Output Polarity: normal. This means pin is off below the set threshold and on above it. Opposite polarity would turn the pin on below the switch point, and off above it.

    Back to Activated By... you can activate an output based on many different things. For example... RPM, engine temp, engine run time, battery voltage, any other Aux. channel, vehicle speed, throttle position, etc, etc, etc.

     

    Hope this helps.

    AS for the CAS connector I can't find it on the Harness but i'll keep looking maybe its buried under some electrical tape or on the other side that i spliced off (XD)

     

    That is a turbo specific distributor for '82/'83 cars. Are you using a turbo harness & ECU ('82 or '83)?

     

    and from what I understand #2 and #5 I can just plug off?

     

    If you don't want canister function & fast idle during warm up. Also, If you plug 5, you'll need to plug 4 and reconfigure the valve cover vent.

    Tips for installing brake bias valve?

    When I installed this prop valve, I wasn't prepared for any significant down time, nor did I care much about appearances. I wanted quick, dirty, and easy...

    I *much* prefer double-flaring on the bench. One of the advantages of this mounting/routing was the short, easily accessible/removable lines... much of the reason I chose to do it this way.

     

    Of course, don't forget to null the stock valve.

    I only posted about the EGT gauges to get sappy and talk about how I liked the dual needle sweep, because I'm used to seeing it in the old fast cars from when I was a little kid... (and I thought I helped to illustrate the low resolution obtainable from one of them, not contradict it) but now all of a sudden... carputer? I don't think I've bumped into that term yet, although the concept has been on my mind for nigh a decade now... must research soon, thank you!

     

    Suddenly, I am overwhelmed by a sense of incredible warmth and extreme fuzziness.

     

    Sappy & lurid enough? :mrgreen:

    What rear end is this

    in S30 Series - 240z, 260z, 280z

    Posted

    can anyone tell me what rear end i have in my car. gonna pull it out to clean up the underside of the car and i dont know what it is. would like to make it stronger or get a stronger one if i can. i know a guy that has a R200 rear end. but i just want to know what this is first and if it is an ok rear end.

     

    R180 on top, R200 on the bottom...

    Alignment settings: Converting inches to degrees for

    in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis

    Pull out your scientific calculator, press "1" then "tan" then "X" then "24" then "=". You're answer should be .4189.

     

    What this means is 1 degree, over a length of 24" will 'offset' .4189".

     

    Said another way, a 24" tall tire, leaned over at .4189" would be at 1 degree of camber. Of course, the same method can be applied with suspension components, etc.

     

    Use any number combinations you want and, if you're feeling frisky, learn to use the inverse function to calculate backwards.

     

    Hope this helps.
