Here's some more info http://www.revlimiter.net/mods/s2000_button.html Derek

Yes but you can't afford it! Seriously though it shouldn't be too big a deal to make a clamp that holds the sensor and mounts to my mount. Do you have a wheel or would you need that as well? Derek (Hey that's post # 200 for me !!!)

Here's where I got mine http://www.handa-accessories.com/s2000-03maint.html It's about 3/4s of the way down. Derek

Well you could always switch over to the Ford pack!. When I get every thing priced up a bracket for the Dodge might not be a problem. I thought about trying to mount the wheel on the inside but opted for the adapter instead. This way you can do the installation without removing the balancer. Derek

If they can do this http://www.devtoaster.com/products/rev/ then I'm sure an iphone app can't be too hard. Derek

I've had a couple of requests to buy some of the parts I made for my EDIS install http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=140291 I'm trying to get a feel as to how much interest there is in purchasing the parts. I would sell everything individually. If there is enough interest I would also check into getting the 36-1 wheels laser cut as well. Thanks Derek

Thanks! PM Sent

That's a radio controlled airplane filmed with forced perspective. Look at the way it bounces when it lands. Derek

Thanks Dave I sold my KTM that I never had time to ride and bought the espresso machine that I use every day. I wish my business decisions were that sound! I drove the Z home last night and it ran pretty poorly. Today I learn about spark tables! Derek

Went smoother than silk. Then only thing I had to mess with was switching the sensor wires around. I got it running in limp mode first then went with megasquirt. I even nailed the initial timing on the 36-1 ring! The Magnecore wires are really nice. They only took about a week to get here. I was skeptical at first about using the Ford coil but I kind of like the way they snap on. Here's a shot of the wires. I'm planning on getting some looms. Taylor makes a nice 6 cylinder set that will work really well. I know my engines really ratty. After I get my manifold done and working I'll be ripping the top end off as I have a oil leak between the head and the timing cover. It will be getting a major detailing then. And here's the obligatory laptop on roof shot A big thanks to all the pioneers on HybridZ that went before me. All the info made this a real piece of cake. Now for the road test and the dreaded noise issues. I hope they're minor! Derek

Thanks for the dimensions. PM sent. Derek OOPS just reread the post. I think your talking about an in line pump. I'm looking for dimensions on an in tank.

I'm thinking about making a surge tank with an in tank pump something like this http://www.geocities.com/hrayhouston/antisurgetank.html I'm going to fab it out of aluminum. I need to know the overall height with the electric plug on to see if it's feasible to make it small enough to fit between the tank and the mustache bar. Thanks Derek

Wow Pete that really sucks. The fire really adds insult to injury. Derek

Hi Ed I used these Hella fuse boxes. http://www.rallylights.com/detail.aspx?ID=767 I used a 8 position inside the car that replaced my melted factory box then placed 4 and 6 position boxes in various locations on the car. As an example I have a 4 position box up front that fuses my headlights, auxiliary fan and A/C clutch. Derek

Thanks Pete Well if I didn't have the CNC Knee mill My bracket would look exactly like yours being as I was a fabricator before I was a pattern maker. No problem Jeff. The bracket is pretty straight forward. The wheel adapter was a real PIA though. I started with a 2" thick square and had to hog it out on the mill before I moved it to the lathe for the turning ops. The Gaggia is no slouch for sure. The best thing I did was putting the PID controller for the temp. That makes it a Hybrid so it should be ok for this forum! Derek

That was a bit of work! Well the finish isn't perfect as I didn't want to spend the time with finish passes but it works like a champ or a clamp as the case may be! The bracket is rock solid. it's a little tight getting to the adjuster screw but all and all I'm pleased with the results. Now all I have to do is make the hold down washers for the 36-1 and the bracket for the EDIS module and I'll be ready for the megasquirt. derek

I'd get nothing done without this bad boy! Derek

Here's the mock up for the sensor bracket. I'm using corian solid surface material in case your wondering. The final product will be machined from 6061 aluminum. The large hole is the timing cover bolt next to the oil pump and the small adjustment hole is a boss on the timing cover. I have a ton of adjustment but that will be reduced to almost nothing on the final product. This should make for a nice rigid mount Now it's time to start whittling some aluminum! Derek

Thanks Dave. I'm planning on mounting the module directly across from the coil tucked up under the fender and just in front of the battery. The wheel is held in place by the clamping force of the 4 screws and washers. So this allows it to be rotated into position and then locked down. Derek

For those of you following this saga I started a new thread on the EDIS portion of our show here http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?p=947804#post947804 Thanks Derek

I decided to get started on my EDIS install. My plan is to get the ignition portion up and running with the megasquirt. Then when I finish my manifold (soon I promise) I won't have to worry about the ignition side of things. I decided to run the ford coil as I plan on running custom Magnecore plug wires and they have the proper boots for the coil. Here is a shot of the coil bracket. I have a pretty good sized air gap between the block and the coil. The wires were $97.00 with shipping by the way. Now for the fun part. The trigger wheel adapter. I'm basically using variation of Sidwels mount. The adapter uses the crank bolt to center it and the 2 1/4-20 puller bolts to keep it indexed. The escort wheel is held in place with 4 screws and washers. This way the ring is adjustable. I have .010" crush on the ring so that should hold it tight enough. Boring out the center. Turning the back side The adapter is dished to allow for the boss on the balancer but it still sits against the boss. There is a slight air gap around the rest of the adapter. Here's the assembled adapter. The washers are just for the mock up. I'll use something larger in application. Well that's it for now. next up is the sensor mount. That should be fun! Derek

Now's the time. The party stores will have them for Halloween. That's the process exactly. That commercial smoke machine will do a fine job. The cheap one i bought only runs for 30 second bursts. It turned out to be plenty of on time though. I'm not too sure how well that would work. The problem is a low pressure area in the cargo space that sucks in the exhaust. Pressure in the cabin would work in reverse of what's actually happening. I lived with this problem in one form or another since 1980 when I bought the car. This is the first time I've had no exhaust fumes in the cabin. Derek

Yep windows down, windows up, one down one up no fumes! The smoke trick really helps you find hidden leaks. Derek

Here's a post I made on how I fixed my exhaust leaks. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=138089 Derek

Hi I'm starting to figure out how I want to mount my sensor for the edis. I noticed that in all of the pictures I could find on HybridZ show the sensors mounted traditionally which points the wires towards the fan blade. I'd really like to mount mine in the opposite direction with the plug angling in towards the motor. This would mean the edis trigger wheel would in effect be spinning in the oppisite direction across the sensor.Any thoughts on this? Thanks Derek
