When you hook up the power for the wide bands what power source did you go with
@MalcolmV8 Күн бұрын
They should get a very clean power source so using a relay they get power directly from the battery.

Hey there, regarding the Stewart water pump, are we good installing it and keeping the coolant cross over tube? You had mentioned it blew off the hose. If we run that, would it do the same?
@MalcolmV8 Ай бұрын
If you have an otherwise stock cooling system you'll be just fine. I had deleted the bypass hose that runs from the coolant cross over down to the thermostat housing. I deleted all that actually and relocated the thermostat into the upper radiator hose. I had not built a bypass back into my new setup yet which is why it was blowing that upper radiator hose off. Once I added a new bypass that's clean and out of sight it's working great again.

Do you what lines on the odometer means after installing ms3
@MalcolmV8 Ай бұрын
All dashes on the factory gauge cluster means it's not receiving information or communicating with the ECU. So it's not getting communication with your ECU. Either your ECU is not correctly powered up or it's not wired correctly or possibly a faulty ECU. For some reason it's not communicating with your gauge cluster.

I had a bunch of work done to the car recently 2.3 whipple, ms3pro, clutch and fuel system. The issues I'm having now is the tach, speedo, odometer aren't reading also the reverse lockout isn't allowing me to go in reverse, could these all be related to the ecu?
@MalcolmV8 Ай бұрын
@@artelias1434 yes those are all ECU functions. It would be wiring or the ECU. How old is your ECU? The first batches of MS3Pro ECUs didn't have the internal hardware to activate the reverse lockout solenoid. A slight oversight. You have to contact DIYAutotune and ship the ECU back and they will fix it.

I'm going to add more to this now that I have a lot more experience with my car. I currently use the car for drag and drive type events. Cruising or driving 30-60 miles, then 3 back to back passes. Everytime a pass is made with the blower spinning 24-25k rpm going down the strip, yes the heat exchanger is going to cool some, but it cant keep up maintaining the temp on a return road or back in the staging lanes. Large fans on a poorly shrouded heat exchanger, that that is inadequately sized for larger hp builds, will have minimal dwell time(the time the water passes by the fans) to cool giving minimal gains. The larger the heat exchanger, the better it will work. Likewise, the larger the offset when adding fans. When, a viewer looks at this, they have to consider how hard they push their combination. A few stops and back to 45 mph for 1/2 a mile to another stop is not the same as some city driving or drag strip racing that can thoroughly raise the water temps throughout the whole system very quickly and take forever to cool back down. I'm personally planning a 6" wide heat exchanger with fans and an adequate shroud on a pwm controller. As this video shows, fans arent really needed after so much mph. When judging how much of a cooling system you need for the blower, it really needs to be based off of power/blower rpm, and how it will be driven. With wide open roads with minimal stops, you can get by with a lot less of a system.

There is a clip available for the dome light switch to keep them off. If you put in a V8 you will want to do a WJ brake swap as well. since with 33" your brakes are gonna suck. Dana 30 is the front diff. I have a 2004 TJ and am swapping to a XJ high pinion Dana 30 in front and a Explorer 8.8 in the back both with 4.10's along with the WJ brake mod with JKS steering linkage using WJ tie rod ends. Take your beastie to an oil spray undercoating place and have them spray the inside of the frame. You will be glad you did.

Great video and info. I am seriously considering this for my Megasquirt set up. How do you "gracefully “ shut down the pi.
@MalcolmV8 6 ай бұрын
You need a power supply board that works like a UPS. It's wired directly to battery power and also to the ignition switch. When you key off it just pulls a pin low on the Pi letting it know you have the ignition switch off. At that point it turns the screen off and an internal counter starts. After X period of time it realizes you're done driving and gone and the Pi begins to gracefully shutdown. Once it's down there's a pin on the Pi that now goes low letting the UPS / power supply board know you've powered off and it turns itself off.
