scartail Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) It's ran (not running). Won't run for more than a couple minutes. l28et (w/o the turbo right now) I'm using the stock dizzy with the stock CAS (the 6 slot pattern), stock TPS, MAP sensor, and the generic speeduino map. I have more work on the map, but I think this is significant progress for me!! Edited May 3, 2020 by scartail more details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmeatk Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Wow, jonbill and juxsa, those are some clean builds! You guys are awesome. It took a while for me to circle back to this as I had been busy with bodywork and paint, but I am putting the turbo on this week. I ended up designing and machining a CAS replacement that bolts into the distributor slot because the l28et distributor cores are becoming scarce. I ended up going with a hall effect sensor instead.

jonbill Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 What trigger pattern are you doing on that CAS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmeatk Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 It's a 36-1 wheel. 3" Diameter, .25" thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbill Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 That'll work well then. which board are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmeatk Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I got a v0.4 board. I got all the components together but then started to get nervous about the bass from my sound system rattling the board to death. I have consulted some electrical engineers since then and settled on staking the components instead of potting because no one really knew for sure if the arduino mega thermals would work okay in the long term under full potting. How is yours holding up so far? Do you daily drive it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbill Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I had to look up staking and potting 😊 I did glue the DSC in with hot melt glue - it did used to work lose. No problems in use, its been very reliable. It's not a daily, it only comes out when there's no salt on the roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzarano Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 will definitely be messaging you for info as i doing an na to turbo conversion and planning on going this route... its simple enough but powerful enough but not extremely well documented for the Z which has me a bit on edge.... do you have any xl files or other planning documents youve used? I want to make sure i get all the right sensors etc and theyre all compatible and someone has maybe used them (so a comprable basemap can maybe be had...) Building a motorsport grade harness (or trying.. deutsch connects are crazy expnseive!) so once I have a list of components can start mapping a loom and stuff! Glad to see someone doing this, looking forward to updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much just grommets on bolts but if they can survive in race cars they can survive most things...ifused properly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building a motorsport grade harness (or trying.. deutsch connects are crazy expnseive!) so once I have a list of components can start mapping a loom and stuff! The main sensor you will have to figure out is Cam Position. The easiest solution is to use the 280ZX Turbo distributor because it has an optical trigger wheel, but those are getting rather hard to find. You have to swap the trigger wheel to one from the MegaSquirt Vendors. There are some third party Z vendors that offer Crank-pulley-mounted VR sensor solutions, but you have to then mount a cam angle sensor anyway because you have to be able to tell the speeduino when TDC is triggered. I opted to build my own sensor using a hall-effect sensor because I couldn't find any reasonably priced plug-and-play optical sensors that were rated for the engine temperatures. The hall-effect sensor is also more resistant to EMI in the engine bay, as logic is handled in the sensor as opposed to at the ECU. I gave up on buying "motorsport" grade wiring and just got some Molex connectors pre-wired to 48" pigtails from McMaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV mounts will not save the internals from bass vibration, the sound waves directly vibrate the components through the mount/case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbill Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 FWIW, I don't use a cam position sensor. I use paired injectors and wasted spark. The current standard boards can't so 6x6 sequential anyway. AIUI, sequential is over rated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
