The long term build...will she ever run again?

[sethron71]

UPDATED! Video in post #11!:naughty:
Well I haven't been on the forums much lately but rather been really busy with my racing and haven't had time to work on the supra much. Well it has been about a year since the car ran last and probably the biggest hold up is the wiring:3d_frown: I hate wiring. This is just a teaser but I will update as it comes along!

Looking for setup guidance for the Megasquirt 2 with V3 board settings to get it running smoothly. If someone has a file from a properly tuned supra that I can start off with I would greatly appreciate it!! The actual tuning I can handle just not sure what some of the lag factors and things such as that should be to allow the system to adapt correctly and keep a constant air fuel!

K here is the list of changes:
-3" IC Pipes straight back w/ radiator laid back
-Braider lines for everything
-Tubular manifold
-New intake pipe
-Fully custom FFIM(from head flange up!)
-3.35" CNC TB
-Megasquirt Standalone w/ EDIS6 ignition and coil
-Fully custom wiring harness
-New 18" wheels(thanks Tom!)
-Custom PS reservoir and Catch tank

Things to be finished yet:
-Wiring(still can't get the ignition to fire:3d_frown: )
-Full 3" exhaust (already had one but a new one :icon_surp )
-Radiator over flow tank mounted
-Oil cooler mounted
-All custom radiator piping
-Braided vent line system to feed to new catch tank
-Battery Box
-Custom heat shielding
-Internal gauge wiring and mounting finished up
-DYNO!!!

Thats all I can think of now but I will keep adding to it as I remember!

But here are some pics just as teasers:

Hope you enjoy, let me know what you thing and any ideas!

nice build but why r the ic tubing routed over the rad?

 

[IJ.]

InterHeater?

 

[sethron71]

Just shortest route without relocating the battery and I liked the look something different I guess? They will be coated with the gold NASA heat shield on the bottom side to stop the heat soak!

O and if people are wondering what the car looks like here are a couple pics:

The paint job is not the best by any means nor is the body work but it looks decent and I would rather spend the money under the hood and then do the exterior right!

Thanks,
Seth

I love the FFIM!

 

[americanjebus]

are you going to run any sort of fans at all? Car looks pretty good it just looks odd w/ out any moldings what so ever.

Interesting, you're running pre-89 clears with your post 89 bumper and no grills. Hmm. Looks nice btw. I like how you relocated the spark plug assembly.

Thanks guys,
Yes I am running two fans on the radiator and it I will also be getting an aluminum radiator shroud to make sure the air finds its way through the radiator! The FFIM is my fully custom one I have been working on here are a few pics:

Thanks,

Any one running EDIS 6 system what is the minimum voltage required for the EDIS 6 module to fire? Also what is an average voltage drop when cranking the car. I have all brand new wiring and a brand new optima red top never been run in a car. I did just finally give the battery a long good charge but it showed decent charge but the EDIS 6 will fire when the car is not cranking but will not as soon as the starter draws on the battery Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for looking,
Seth

Looks amazing Seth! I'm sure you'll get it to run soon

Ok here is a quick video:

Typed a bunch but totally deleted it I will give more an update tomorrow!

Thanks for all the help tho to those who helped solve the ignition problem!

Well got it up and idling smoothly. Idles right at 800ish with a A/F of 14.3! Been working on the accel modes to make it have good response but still have a few things to do before I can drive it. Just a few loose ends!! But will have new video up as soon as it is driving.

Also still looking for a well tuned 7-M program to look at some of the base settings if possible!

Thanks,
Seth

 

[sethron71]

Here are a few updates!
Nearly finished exhaust, sorry for the night pics will get some better in the day light:
DP:

Back half!:

New Alt Bracket, simplicity I guess is the key? We will see if it works but I don't see when it shouldn't!:

And the main projects right now:

Thanks for looking. I promise I will get a vid up once I get it back together for the first drive, I am moving soon and pray I can finish it up enough to drive it before I move!
