The Unicorn: Abandon all Hope

[IROCZman15]

the wiring is always going to be a work in progress so its good to do a nice cleanup of it when you are able to.

I've never played around with a coolant temp sensor, are you having psi issue you think or is it just another input that the holley can handle and you are making use of it for more data?

More data, and I can program it to use as a safety to shut down boost if coolant pressure climbs too fast etc.

[IROCZman15]

that makes sense!

My body is not pleased with late nights and crawling around a 4th gen interior. But, about done with this project!





Had one oops moment


Otherwise, just need to get oil temp hooked to the board, then figure out how I wired the low oil light to the holley dash. Flex fuel and coolant pressure sensor should be here this week and that will finish up the sensors.

Very nice, sir. Should draw a decent color coded schematic for reference….

[Blackbirdws6]

Appreciate the organization of it all. How easy is this to access once dash is back in?

Pull radio bezel and its all there.

Last major piece of the puzzle arrived, when spring gets closer I'll order new injectors 😎

[LTb1ow]

Tonight just wanted to plumb in coolant pressure sensor and replace the TPS

Got off to a rocky start.


Thankfully was able to use passenger side and got it plumbed/mounted


TPS reset was sucessful and with any luck Friday I should have the flex fuel sensor plumbed in.

[LTb1ow]

I got the interior thrown back in the car tonight




And random pic of a installed flex fuel sensor(that works too lol)

Have we still abandoned all hope. What is this NA monster putting down these days? Why isn't it wrapped pink?

[LTb1ow]

I abandoned hope when this site refused to resize my pictures.

[sweetbmxrider]

The pics need to be this big to capture all the shoulder shrugs and disappointment nods.

[Blackbirdws6]

I bought a new TV just to view the pics. Keep em coming.

[LTb1ow]

Why hello there

Specs?

[LTb1ow]

Old turbo
Intake wheel, 102mm x 76mm
Exhaust wheel, 88mm x 75mm

New turbo
Intake wheel, 117mm x 80mm
Exhaust wheel, 96mm x 88mm

The exhaust wheel is where I am hoping to pick up the most gains, housing goes from a .96ar to a 1.25ar as well.

[Blackbirdws6]

That should do nicely

I didn’t know these cars could be run without radiators, that’s so cool!

Yup once you start running straight methanol the coolant system is not needed for the most part

Can you still use the heater with methanol?
