There are 2 different reluctors for LS's crank signal. The 24x and the 58x. Make sure your sensor matches your wheel in the engine and make sure both of those match the ECU. Thanks for the content!

[@RollingRoadEFI]

They also completely neglected to think about the wheel itself. Too big of a gap or a defect in the wheel = no signal.

[@TopGoose-bf1mx]

Came here to say this, or at least something similar. Gotta make sure the reluctor is correct as well as the distance between the two. I swapped a 4.6 from an 09 F150 into an SN95 a few years ago and had constant cam position faults. Turned out the cam reluctor on the F150 had several more “teeth”.

[@mandrakejake]

You're both probably right, but the custom ECU will be far more tolerant of weak sensor outputs than stock. They can be tuned to be road compliant too, even having switchable maps

[@oneplumpboi5317]

There's a chance that the water pump is over-pumping. Typically the effective range is about 5000rpm, but if you're exceeding that, the water won't have enough time to cool before re-entering the engine. You can either change the pulley size or goto an electronic waterpump.

[@Kinann]

Going electric frees up HP for the engine, too.

[@JuniorJunison]

​@@Kinannwell supposedly, I think it won't change it much because the alternator will just be put under more load and in turn that results in more load on the engine from the alternator, I think it would free up some horsepower if the water pump ran completely independent from the alternator and rest of the system on a battery. But I think going to an electric water pump makes the pumping of the water more consistent because it doesn't rely on engine rpm anymore. Anyway I could be wrong but that's my first thoughts anyway.

[@jonathansmith7306]

​@@JuniorJunisonit would increase efficiency a bit. There's less energy loss from electric motors

[@vxsr33]

​@@JuniorJunisonwhilst you are correct in saying going from a belt driven water pump to an electric water pump will put more load on the alternator. The parasitic hp loss from increased load on the alternator is much less than from a belt driven pulley.

[@Kinann]

@@JuniorJunison There's no longer parasitic belt loss when you remove the pulley. Agree, no such thing as free energy and you can't argue with Ohm's Law.

[@andrewolson5471]

I had to laugh out loud when it was listed as a Con of a standalone ECU that it wouldn't be street legal anymore. While it's true that a standalone ECU will make a car non-street legal, the Hi and Low cars stopped being street legal the moment GM engines were installed. I suspect that California might let people get away with these kinds of shenanigans, the Federal EPA requires a vehicle to conform to what is called a Certified Configuration, which is a combination of engine, transmission and chassis that has undergone the certification process with the Federal EPA. So it would be legal to use a totaled 2002 Camaro Z28's power train to convert a V6 2002 Firebird into a home-made Firebird Formula, but it's not legal to...say...drop a GM engine into a Nissan Z that was never offered with (or certified for) that engine.

[@rfrbz1269]

Some notes when testing wiring integrity, multimeter leads can splay the terminals in the connector and prevent good contact. You can also have bad wiring that passes a continuity check, but doesn't carry current when loaded. If you wire in a lightbulb to load test the wiring, you will be able to basically 100% confirm good wiring. It would be really cool if you guys tried using an oscilloscope to view the crank sensor pattern since this will show you the waveform that the ECU sees and you can see if you have signal, bad exciter ring, etc

[@FG-418]

Also won't show a contact that is intermittent under vibration. Can't fully take it off the list without shaking the wiring from one side to the other. And I agree a cheap handheld oscilloscope is really useful for these type of sensor debugging. Also the built-in oscilloscope in the Haltech Elite series is great for figuring out what the ECU is really seeing.

[@rrabatine]

All the shortages during covid caused a lot of shady business practices to pump out supply. As a tech, I've seen the new parts being bad alot more recently too. Mostly parts that require electrical components.

[@coyster530]

I think it just goes to show you can spend as much money as you want on a car but it really matters on the parts because some cheap parts are just as good if not better than some expensive and how well it's put together

[@bloodhound1144]

Possible overheating issues: Try filling your system with glycol or straight water. Using traditional antifreeze raises the freezing temperature but lowers the boiling point of the water it's mixed with. In your climate, there's no need to worry about freezing temperatures. You have a small grill on that car. That will restrict air flow. Since you aren't pushing wind at highway speeds, you'll have to draw in more air. Try releasing more air toward the firewall (directly ahead of the door hinges or further back on the hood toward the windshield). That and having a more aggressive fan.

[@obiesunstreak2409]

100% can not say how happy I am to see you swap over to the LINK ecu. I myself am a LINK customer (04 Subaru Forester XT pushing 425/400). Very happy with their customer service, how easy their software is to use, and just the overall ease of the product to install. As to the "not street legal" thing, that is ONLY for CA. No other state has problems with aftermarket ECU's. I've had no issues at all with mine, and in fact am converting another car up from the OEM ECU to a LINK (2006 legacy GT wagon) Last, the overheat problem: Ive had the same issue with a LS swap before. you may need to go to a 3 core radiator with a push fan setup (fans in front rather than behind it), and swap out the thermostat for a restrictor plate (smooth plate drilled with many holes to flow more, but still hold back enough to allow water pressure to be optimal). Going to a plate means having to retune some for your cold start, and having to sit 5-10 minutes with it idling to warm up. Add 5 min if on E85/e98

[@OllamhDrab]

For the sake of not spending 100K for something you can't drive except on track, I do wonder why they didn't seem to just try a fresh factory ECU if the other one was just corrupted. There really need to be some less-out-of date emissions laws, though, cause especially the older stuff gets, factory isn't even better that way, especially if factory is *worn out.*

[@obiesunstreak2409]

@@OllamhDrab CA smog laws/CARB is not about clean air. It is a money making scheme for the state, that also doubles as a way to control the populations actions. If it was about smog/emissions then they would only judge a car on what comes out the tailpipe, not what equipment it has on it.

I'm not sure where to post this so I'll just post it here. Every time I watch a Donut video I always feel like I want more, like a longer cut. I think there's something to be said about these relatively short cuts; they definitely keep the energy high and keep the viewer engaged for the entire duration. The editing itself is great, the material is presented in a cohesive beginning-middle-end kind of way. But, it would be great to have an option for people who want a more extended cut that goes into more detail, especially on the troubleshooting parts. Another example I can think of right now is the video a few weeks ago about the drive in the off-road camper that broke. That obviously took days to shoot but we only got to see like 15 minutes of the entire excursion, including the follow-up to rescue it from where it broke down. It was entertaining but there must have been a lot of content left out that I think a lot of people would be interested in seeing. I don't know, maybe get on Nebula and put the longer format stuff there if you're worried about the impact longer videos will have on what the YT algorithm does with the channel.

[@TheColorsInGreyLife]

Here's something I would try, if I was there and was allowed to. I would cut that hood up just a bit and around the front wheels and force in air from the wheel area & hood. I would stick a water to air heat exchanger (intercooler) in the hood and force it to suck in air from the rear with some heat shielding around the intake manifold. Its sucking in so much hot air from that radiator and the engine bay I don't think its doing anything other than forcing a negative feedback loop. That, and, I would split the radiator into a front and rear with some air scoops, a few holes, and some tubes that are insulated with another pump inside to help it. Just got to let it breathe out the back. If its the heat from the radiator being sucked in, a basic way to test that is simply force it to be covered by a heat shield and a hole in the front to suck in cold air coming in. If it isn't then you are looking at a need to port it (yourself) for the air coming in to work better with the new ecu and better air flow and fuel. Since that camshaft is something I'm sure you probably don't want to change too much, you are looking for more low and med rpm gains that is an easy enough way of doing it for cheap. Granted, all that takes time and while each of the things I suggested would help regardless (depending on them being pre-ported and polished) they can ruin aesthetics, require new tuning, and make it so you have to track test again to see if it solved the overheating and (possibly) not thermally cool enough air coming in. Still, there is the balance of how much you can make by making the videos of that, to whether it gets in the way of other projects, and if the money is there or not. Anyways hope it helps :)

Those Wilwood rear callipers were under servo'd, the capacity just wasn't there. It's a mistake many make when upgrading brakes, they go too big for the working range of other components.

ECU not being street legal: It's only illegal if some cop somehow plugs in some sort of "goober" that says, "Hey, this MacGuffin is illegal."

you'll get more cooling efficiency in a car that never sees cold weather (like a track car in southern california) if you run distilled water with water wetter instead of antifreeze/coolant, which might help with the heat issues, but heat is pretty much always going to be a concern in a drift car also suede steering wheels are for driving with suede grip gloves, if you drive them with bare hands they get chewed up like the one in hi car is

Every so often y'all make a perfect video. This is one of those times. Primo entertainment and even a plot development pace that keeps me engaged. I love this whole series 🤘
