Yeah the green/gold will look really good

Just waiting for the cover of darkness to slip it into the street!

It runs & drives! I need to re-bleed the brakes & find a permanent solution for my electric water pump. For the life of me I cannot remember how I had it set up before. Other then that I tied up some loose ends in the engine bay, re-routing wires & keeping things clear. Harbor Freight to the rescue!

The piece hangs lower then the transmission and thats a huge no go for me. |

What are you trying to do with the electric waterpump? I can help you wire it up any fancy way you want. Can even make pretty mspaint pictures if need be :)
|
what software are you using to edit those photos like that?
|
Happy to hear it drives around Alex.

Kid is a little diode happy but LIKE I SAID, you can have an led that's powered and grounded by the pump's feeds. If its out, you know the pump isn't getting power or ground. You could split it up into 2 leds as well but that's kinda silly to me. Your diagram doesn't let you know if the pump fails, only if it isn't receiving power or ground. This is why I said if you can find a sensor that can watch or listen to the actual electric motor OR watch the coolant flow, you can know if the pump isn't operating. Otherwise, your coolant temp will slowly rise. Its really not hard to catch. This is also why I said leds on fan speed. If you see the led come on when high fans are on, you know the engine is running hot and watch yo ass.
Unless I suck at reading, that diagram isn't even correct. |
I didn't make the diagram and posted it for discussion purposes.

Never under stood the point of LEDs or what not. Watch your damn dash cluster and be done. You will know fast if your water pump kicks the bucket.
Furthermore, I would bet a shot rotor or brushes would let current pass through stator enough to possibly always power a LED warning regardless if pump failed or not. LED just makes it so you know you have power, which to me, seems redundant. You overheat, or you don't. Why add complexity. |
I didn't say you did. I laid out the options for simple monitoring of the circuit. You can't monitor the actual electric motor's operation without some sort of sensor to watch it spin or monitor coolant flow. You could maybe do something like a crank position sensor and attach a reluctor wheel somewhere to monitor the rpm. The actual fins may work but I don't know how strong the magnetic field would be through coolant, I think its aluminum anyways, and you'd have to worry about sealing the sensor.

In other news I'm about to throw in the towel as this car is fighting my every inch of the way, finding missing bolts from important places, and questionable connections left and right. I have to go back to the West coast tomorrow so in the meantime, I'm probably going to sell my track bike and have it sent to Josh to tidy it up. What an F'n nightmare. So far I've found: - The driveshaft is rubbing the UMI Driveshaft Safety loop (Zero Ground Clearance) - Missing a bolt where the torque arm meets the rear-end - Missing all the bolts for the brackets that hold the front sway bar - Brakes need to be re-bled - Oil Pan sensor doesn't click in - ABS Inop Light - I need a sawzall to remove the Hooker exhaust - Install my Magnaflow exhaust - New brake pads & rotors |

if you give me a list of bolts and brackets you need, ill put them aside for you. I have to strip a 93 z28 and 98 z28 in the next month.

I'm actually in the process of selling my 2008 Yamaha R6 out here in California and that will put me ahead and able to purchase and tie up the suspension up front. When I first bought that bike, it stole money from the Camaro, now things have sort of come full circle. |
Full Ebony interior out of a 2002 Formula:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...o/IMG_3319.jpg Corsa Clone Tips: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2.../IMG_5652.jpeg Some replacement ignition parts, wheels/tires and interior goodies are on order. I have all the suspension pieces now and it should be getting bolted together this week. I ran through the fluids the other day and found water in the brake reservoir. Its either from sitting over the winter or theirs a leak in the master. I have a spare master if thats the issue after draining, and re-filling. All I really need is a new battery and I might be able to get it moving in the next few weeks. |
Keep at it! Interior and tips will look nice.
