Job well done.

Job well done.

THANKS, I'll feel that way when it starts and runs!

I was wondering if you could snap some pics for me of your battery relocation and maybe a quick description of what all you used to do it. I saw the distribution block in the engine bay but am wondering what you did on the battery end. I've heard of people using circuit breakers and fusable links and whatnot, but I'm still trying to get some more ideas as to how I want to do mine.

Here you go, there isnt much more to photograph. I have a 200amp circuit breaker between the battery and the distrubitution block but I cant take a photo of it. Any thing specific you want a photo of just let me know.

Can someone help me out with my fuel gauge problem?

Can someone help me out with my fuel gauge problem?

It could be either one, The one on the FPR what brand is it? I had a autometer that failed in a month. I replaced it with a liqiud filled one from Mcmaster-carr. Much more accuate. There may also be an air pocket in there and I would wait until the system is circulating fuel before I would rule out a pressure difference.

The guage in the car is a autometer and the one on the FPR came with the regulator so im assuming its an aeromotive gauge(its liquid filled).

Good thinking about the air pocket. So which gauge should I go off for my start up? I dont want to start the car for the first time with low fuel pressure. Am I better off turning the one with lower psi up to 43.5 and have the one inside the car read higher? Im assuming running higher fuel pressure on an initial start up would be better than not enough fuel pressure.

What do you guys think?

 

[gixrman]

I would say the one on the FPR since thats were most most pressure regulators are located. I'm sure your going to see a pressure difference line vs. post injectors once the car is running. 43.5psi should be the mininum it should be set at.

Hi,

I would go with the pressure measurement on the AFPR, because that is where the fuel pressure is specified from. If you move the fuel pressure sensor closer and closer to the fuel pump the fuel pressure will increase and get closer and closer to the fuel pump outlet pressure, due to less pressure lose which comes from less piping and bends between the sensor and the fuel pump. Hope that helps.

Hey guys thanks for all your help. Im going to set the FPR to 43.5 and call it a day.

Now I have one more problem....
I charged my battery and threw it in the car, everything worked, great!
I hook up my datalogger, then I put the key in and turn it to the on position, NOTHING, im like WTF? None of the lights in the cluster lit up...
So after ripping apart my whole center console and paneling under my steering wheel, hour or two of looking around, I decided it had to have something to do with the turbo timer I installed. That wasnt working either. So I pull the plug and play harness out, and what do you know, everything works! Awesome, so basically they sent me the wrong plug and play harness...Now here comes my problem or question.

Now that my datalogger was hooked up, I was going to try and set the 1g CAS to 5*. When I opened up my timing in my datalogger it said my timing was 61*??? No matter how I turned the CAS, it always said 61*. Is this because Im trying to adjust a 1g CAS with a 2g datalogger? If so, then I have nothing to worry about. But if I should be able to read my 1g CAS with my 2g datalogging program then I have a problem I need to sort out quick. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance for all the help guys!

BTW, the timing belt is not on and Im pretty sure the CAS is not 180* off. With the timing belt not being on, I would think that wouldnt matter because the cam is only slightly off from where it would be if the belt was on.??

Sounds like the 1g CAS was wired incorrectly, did you double check that? RRE has a fantastic writeup on using a 1G CA with 95-96 sensors.

I bought a harness already made, I only had to hook up one wire. I doubt its that...but ill double check. My car is a 98, not 95 or 96.

 

[Spoolin98]

The CAS harness I bought was from RRE. All I had to do was plug it in, and then hook up one white wire to the blue wire on the connector that went to the 2g CAS.

Should I be able to read my 1G CAS timing with a 2g datalogger?

I need to figure out if something is wrong with the way I hooked it up or something wrong with the harness before this friday, thats when Im planning on starting it.

 

[Spoolin98]

ok im starting to give up on trying to find this out.

So let me ask this...

What should I do (with the CAS) before starting my motor for the first time?

 

[Spoolin98]

Well I just set the CAS right in the middle..

Tommorrow is the big day, I work till 10pm and then me and my buddy are gonna do the timing belt and try and get her running..

WISH ME LUCK ! ! !

 

[snowborder714]

Hopefully after all the time and hard work you put into it, that it starts up without a problem!

Good Luck!!

Thanks, Im crossing my fingers and hoping for the same..

 

[turbosax2]

I've been following the build from the beginning. I just want to say excellent work and I hope everything goes well today!

Mike, The car just looks amazing, You did a VERY GOOD job on it. The enginebay is so clean!

 

[Spoolin98]

Thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments! Cross your fingers for me around midnight tonight, thats the ET of start up. I get out at 10, im figuring 2 hours to do the belt and accessories. Hopefully I dont have any problems with tensioning the belt.

I'll be awake then awaiting updates!

Well I have a computer and internet in the garage, so Ill post an update
