3) Two step, engage
4) brap brap brap brap noises

The brake pedal/push button thing is where im getting lost.

once on the 2 step, you have to release the brake and the button at the same time? or is the holley some how smart enough to keep brake pressure(like a line lock)as long as the 2 step button it self is held?

LTb1ow 01-04-2021 01:04 PM

No, the brake switch and switch on steering wheel are in series.

So both need to be held to activate 2 step, but either of them will turn off the 2 step.

Its quicker to come off the switch than off the pedal, but a switch alone could be dangerous if I smack it versus scramble boost one.

so when you go to launch the car, you will be releasing the brake pedal and the 2 step momentary at the same time?

They are wired in series, so releasing either one makes 2 step off.

ya i got that. So when you launch, you have to release both at the same time pretty much?

No, releasing either breaks the circuit and the 2 step is off.

You only need both to turn it on.

Took car out today to verify fan function, that was a success. Fans are not nearly as loud of they were with the on\off and no voltage drop either. Pretty happy with it so far, need to clean up wiring and add in circuit breaker for fan power. Then tweak settings, still unsure what I should be shooting for temp wise based on a 160* thermo.

Rear end seems to have settled a little.

Nice! Take a pic further back. I'd like to see the whole shebang.

Finally got the exhaust out the back of the car, full 4in stainless all the way.

You're not running a panhard bar brace?!?

LTb1ow 01-31-2021 12:16 PM

Its been missing for many a year now.

Blackbirdws6 01-31-2021 04:48 PM

Mother of God that prob took a lot of welding time. Looks nice and kinda nice to have it quiet.

BonzoHansen 01-31-2021 08:49 PM

Nice.

Now trim the tailpipe before you trip on it.

Like walking into a trailer hitch, you only do it once ....

Time to redo the battery and alternator wiring. Gotta get her ready for the dyno

What was wrong with the OG wiring?

Poor crimps and tautness.

When we were doing the exhaust I was looking at it and it began to bother me. There is also a burnt section where it must have drooped down onto the catback when I had that SLP LM1 on. If the motor pops on dyno that's one thing, but if something stupid fails and causes the session to end, that's something I want to avoid.

Should not have reread my original thread about the struggles I had dyno'ing it the first couple times. :lol:

Blackbirdws6 02-06-2021 09:41 AM

Ahh ok. I figured it had to be something along those lines. Def best to avoid the stupid things that can pop up.

Goal is to drive the car off the rollers under its own power

LTb1ow 02-06-2021 08:34 PM

Old stuff out, pretty sure its all CCA so took a weight hit but such is life

These are the problem areas I was worried about

But did manage to get a nice terminal block to get all the hot leads off the shut off switch
https://i.imgur.com/WLie6SNl.jpg

Few less things to potentially go wrong. I hope.

IROCZman15 02-06-2021 10:15 PM

nice.
I have that exact same terminal block. I think it was a 2 pack . one in red and one in black. I only used the red one
where is your battery mounted anyways?

LTb1ow 02-07-2021 10:11 AM

Battery is in the trunk area.

LTb1ow 02-07-2021 04:50 PM

How much fuel do you need?

YES
