What do you mean by ME?

 

I think he's suggesting that since you're a Mechanical Engineer (I don't recall if that's the case), you are doing some pretty advanced EE work.

 

Ah i see.. Nah im an avionics or Electronics engineer if you like.. I believe im quite capable of mechanical work but im much stronger with electronics.. And i do like my MOSFETs lol...

 

Oh... I thought I remembered you saying earlier in the thread that you were mechanical. Makes sense now, lol

 

This thread just keeps getting better and better!

 

suscribed, this is definately an interesting thread and cannot wait to see the outcome.

 

Glad i could clear it up lol... To be honest im glad i could pull off being a mechanical engineer too lol


Thanks alot chaps.. Trying to save up for this respray is a nightmare, hopefully it wont be too long.. Still got a job list as long as my arm!

 

Wow you're really talented and creative. You Got a lot of cool creative things going on in this build. Keep up the awesome build!

 

What is this "vc" that everyone keeps referring to?

 

VC? Which page mate..? Im not sure what you mean...

 

vc-valve cover

 

Thats what i thought mate- but theres also viscous coupler..

 

Hey chaps... A little update for tonight..

Managed to spend some time on the new motor controllers, after the last ones broke..

This one is a bit more bulky, and good news, it works perfectly!

 

Your work is by far the best that i have seen while being a member here on HT for the last few years. Keep it up mate. You got me interested in that S2K cluster. Ill look into it. I have a dc2.
GL

 

Thanks mate- thats quite an achievement lol Ill try to keep updates coming- im trying to keep up with demand for the s2000 converters... lol

 

I cant find it. Maybe it was the viscous coupler cause there was talk about switching it

 

lol fair enough mate- lets go with viscous coupler lol

 

a little update for tonight..

Been a bit busy doing some projects for other people here in the UK. I have managed to spend some time on my own again. Decided to do away with my wasted spark system in favour of a coil on plug system...

Ive designed an interface for and Honda ECU (even OEM) which will determine which cylinder is firing and direct the signal to it.. Ive designed mine to run on Audi 1.8T (115-R) coils with integrated ignitors...





The coils are a perfect fit on the engine, the controller board im testing on somebodies car this weekend as mine doesnt run at the moment. But as it stands its all done and dusted.. It can also allow much more retard than standard as well as taking advantage of Hondata S300s latest update which allows adjustable dwell angle (time) to suit the coils, these are 3ms..

 

A little update for tonight. Not much been done as ive been a bit busy with some other stuff..

The Audi throttle pedal arrived. Im using this for my drive by wire system.. Long story short, there are 2 pots built into the pedal. At the moment im only using 1, but soon both will be used with error checking between them.


I didnt have the audi connector so i cut back the plastic and soldered my own on. As theyre not covered now, ive just put heat shrink on the spare pins..

 

wow mate i just read all the thread damn man you have some skills way to go ctrl+D on this

 

What drive shaft was used?

 

The front drive shafts are B series DSS 5.2's. As the CRV is a B series layout..

The rear drive shafts are custom made (not yet finished) but they will be made my a company here in the UK with CRV inner stubs and Civic outer stubs....

The prop shaft is a CRV one, it needs to be shortened, so when it all goes back together ill know how much to cut it down by and send it to a driveshaft place locally to cut and balance it..

 

Ok thanks. Have you seen the new carbon fiber dss driveshaft?

 

crikey.. Carbon fibre.. Probably a bit out of my price range!

Hopefully the driveshafts should be okay because the load is distributed between all 4...

 

has the project been put on hold? what kind of things have you been working on since the last update(s)?
