It's the best feeling in the world when you hear your project start up for the first time, no matter how long it's been down. It's like a huge fucking weight is lifted off your shoulders. Congrats!

ARS14 · 02-18-2010, 08:22 PM

thetopcow · 02-25-2010, 02:57 PM

It's funny how when you weren't given updates you had more response, but now you have almost none...lol. Keep at it you one step closer everyday.

ctnewman · 02-25-2010, 03:01 PM

yeah wtf. haters!

lazysk8er2 · 02-25-2010, 08:24 PM

dont worry i still watch i dont wanna clutter the thread up with random "oh cool" comments i wanna see this thing rolling. i wanna make the trip upstate and see this thing in person.

96Turbo · 02-26-2010, 12:05 AM

how does that DASH2 work? how do you specify the resistance curve in its software? Looks like a first order function would work just fine for the values that you actually care about (T>100*)

Cool shit man. I like the way you think

Cool shit man. I like the way you think

Actually, there are 3 ways to enter the sensor data.

1) pick it from a list (mostly bosch options and some race tech specified stuff)
2) enter an equation manually
3) and this is the cool one. You can simply enter voltage vs value in an x-y table and it interpolates for you, as a 3rd order equation. How fucking cool is that?!

Also, I ordered a 12v power supply to replace my 5v one, because the analog inputs are 0-15v, so I might as well have some better resolution!

This is what I ordered, the one I had before looked very similar, just 5V:
Digital Volt Meter Switching Power Supply 12V Regulator - eBay (item 230399712463 end time Mar-14-10 15:24:44 PDT)

Oh yeah, and I scooped up these:

And I'm contemplating buying some carbon kevlar status seats. :O

TurboSE · 02-26-2010, 06:48 AM

Not my first choice of chassis or colors, but awesome project, a lot of great work and talent in there. Very nice.

ctnewman · 02-26-2010, 06:49 AM

oh yeah, forgot to mention:
My car runs again!

got the intake all back together, no coolant leaks. I pressure checked it to 20psi and saw nothing, so I feel pretty relieved about that. Tonight I'm going to loom up all the shit in the engine bay and, time permitting, will install the front end...
