Picked up a new seat at WTAC on Saturday.

Re-Wire, Re-Started - Resistor Board for Sensors

Image
For the DL1 and most ECU's you need to run resistors on most temp sensor power wires so that they can read the voltage well enough. With ECU's they have this in the ECU but with the DL1 you need to run resistors on each sensor at some point. Previously i had resistors wired the resistors into each of the plugs near the sensors and run three wires to the plug and then two into the sensor with the resistor going onto the 5v power wire. What i have noticed is that over time these resistors can break at the plug and i never really liked this way because if the resistor breaks the readings on the logger and dash go haywire for all sensors. Now i can run the sensors into the ECU and run a Can to Serial cable out to the dash/DL1 but you can only have a certain number of sensors and these are fixed. The other option is using up the outputs from the ECU but then it limits you with what you want to do. The new DL1 and Dash 2 are actually CAN so this is a lot better if you are buyin...

Re-Wire, Re-Started - ECU Connector

Image
I have replaced all of the pins into the ECU connector plug and using the 22 awg mill spec wire along with the Mil spec shielded wire. I have labeled each wire and also noted down each pin location for any fault finding latter on.

Picked up the heatshrink, circuit breakers and tape today Up close of the circuit breaker, these thinks are

Re-Wire, Re-Started - Center Console - Laying out the Breakers

Image
Started laying out the center console piece and mounting all the breakers and switches today.   I was going to run a buss bar across the power section of the breakers but i was worried about it shorting out so i made up wires between the breakers.
