The Turbo Glue Factory: Boosted Colt Build

[turbomonty]

after a day and a halve of madness i got a steering tie rod solution that is pretty good. set up a laser on the rotor, scribed a plumb line on some cardboard with check marks of bump, ride and droop.
~1/8" toe in at bump and ~1/4" toe out at droop.

ok got my display working with my EFI controller. i can toggle through the pages.
one for fuel, spark and a home page.
spark is in degrees and fuel is in raw micro seconds of discharge.
all live to read and write at any time on the EEPROM

I found these combo temp/pressure sensors the other day and am trying them out for coolant temp/pressure and oil temp/pressure. Not sure when I will get them fully done but they are pretty slick and the curve is way better than the lowdoller-motorsports ones I tried before.

very cool piece
what is the cost?

 

[smokeysevin]

Mouser has them for $50 each.

The lowdoller-motorsports ones didn't play nice with my megasquirt and were more expensive.

anyone ever see an oil pan be the center link/idler arm on the front steering?
i mean they put the front differential in them...

 

[turbomonty]

ok, so the front steer did not function due to extreme reverse Ackerman.
rear steer will work great for the tie rod placement on the knuckles this time.
i just need the center link to go right through the motor, or in this case just the pan.

i got some linear ball bearing ends coming and a 25mm hardened shaft. i plan on welding a machined flange to the tube on both sides and then the tube to the pan. the ends will bolt on and the shaft will have threaded ends for heim joints.

pretty much like chatbots edit...

 

[turbomonty]

i have been getting pretty good at editing for my ECU. ill have a 10" carputer display and have made pages to tune on the fly!

ok just like everyone on YouTube now. no AI was used in these 2 pictures. lol

 

[turbomonty]

and if you never seen an oil pan be multi functional then here is a trailblazer one with front diff mount and cross tube

 

[turbomonty]

easy internal welds....

Bad ass! I’m always blown away at people in general with their ingenuity on oddball projects. Car is going to be one of a kind that’s for sure!

 

[turbomonty]

i was not looking to add another key to my ring so it dawned on me that i could have a passcode/pin screen on start up.
so just a toggle switch to power the ecu, then if pin is true the code goes live. then a basic push button start.
i can also have different pin numbers for levels of performance unlocking. rev limit, shift limit ect
this deletes some hardware in space, cost and weight.

Thats cool!
