Street Build 95 Eclipse GSX 700bhp on 95-Oct

[Moonlight GSX]

Thanks @ThunderChild

Update:

Currently working on the finer details of a few big projects that won't necessarily get her running again but are definitely needed to get her in that state. With that said, I mentioned before that I plan to do a full wiring harness from the front to the back - that is still the plan. In addition to that I am currently working on an "exterior lighting" circuit (eventually an interior lighting as well) that will employ/replace the following modules into one PCB:

Daytime Running Lights (w/ fading effect)
Digital 555 Timer Driven Flasher (no sound)
HID Ballast Control

Hopefully this will bring her to the future a bit but also keep it within controllable reason of what I need it to do - more to come.

 

[Moonlight GSX]

Figured I would post a preview of what the circuit may look like - labeled parts are subject to change due to availability. Borrowed separate design concepts and molded them into one complete concept. The idea here is to employ, as stated in my previous post, a DRL/Turn Signal System that mimics the newer vehicles on the road; head lamp control is based on control of HID/LED headlamps.

Correction made to the original schematic as seen above, items listed below are currently in stock - currently building the PCB now (making traces).

Glad you’re back

Glad you’re back

Thanks, glad to be back. It has been a while and I believe I have neglected her long enough. Truly starting from the ground up this time.

Chase Bays dual piston brake booster delete (uses 6:1 power ratio).

 

[92AWDHX40]

That piece looks really good .

 

[jamel16]

That looks dope , chase bays makes some good stuff.

 

[Moonlight GSX]

Hopefully, it will do a few things:
1. provide a dual system in which if the front fails I still have the back and vice versa.
2. Give me the same pedal feel as if I had a brake booster.
3. Resolve the potential cam idle issue of fluctuating vacuum. On that note, it should give me consistent braking without the variances of booster pressures.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Im waiting to see how those calipers work with the chase kit, i have brembos with the 3g master, my friend runs no booster with his. He says it takes a bit more effort without the
booster.

 

[Moonlight GSX]

According to them, it can work up to 6-pot front and 4-pot rear combos, I will be running 4-pot front/2-pot rear so it should feel normal (if not better). It also has an individual rear bias adjust as well (lower spin knob).

 

[92AWDHX40]

Ok great i just looked on the website, very curiuos about this, may have to put this on my list of things to look into, later.

 

[Moonlight GSX]

I have hopes of getting this done in the next few months, if I have it "rolling" by then I will post here about the results of pedal feel (no engine though) - should stop like normal since it is a booster delete and contains a tandem 1" master cylinder (bigger than the 3G).

What’s the brand on the gauges? And diameter? I’ve been watching speed hut quad gauges for a Cummins application.

 

[Moonlight GSX]

Oddly enough those are Speedhut gauges, the diameter is 4 1/2" (GPS speed and tach) and 3 3/8" (dual gauges). All panel mount and good construction.

"New" power distribution block. Got this for a steal considering new ones from Waytek Wire are $525 before taxes...

Either way, this will allow a lot of room for modularity.

I like it, never seen these before .

They have been around for a small bit but not too long (maybe less than 10 years). A hefty piece as it has a bit of weight to it, my favourite thing is it does not require excessive power inputs (2 x M8 with 1 x M8 GND), has enough relays for a whole system, and the matching fuses with other fuses not being relays or tied into the relays is also a big plus. I think I may have found a good mounting place for it (over e-brake cables/SRS box) but will have to make a bracket for it as it is a bit wide for the driveshaft/exhaust tunnel.

If you are looking for one... https://www.ebay.com/itm/204441096878.

Nice, thank you

Change of plans... by the time I manage to actually start working on her my ideas will have changed again (I'm sure).

Anyway, I have started to dabble in some micro controllers so that I can add a few of the amenities back that I removed and add new ones that didn't exist.

Enter the Arduino ATmega2560 v3. For those who know what it is you may have an idea of what I am looking to do. For those who dont... stay tuned.

I use it everywhere I can fit it, made a few robotics / UAVs with it .. looking forward to see how you apply it, I too have plans to use one with the open source can Bus libs to do neat things.

 

[Moonlight GSX]

RFID (immobilizer) , keyless entry (with key backup), full LED/lighting control, indicator control (custom gauges are above)... just to name some of my plans. I am currently trying to figure out what components will be driven by the Arduino and what will be controlled manually.

Most switches will be operated through the Arduino via a mosfet switch board (especially when controlling large current relays). I will post more as I design more of it, may bounce ideas off you if you have any considerations.
