Something that is starting to really show is just how much planning and research you are doing for this car. This isn't your average project car that you slap a Holley terminator onto. You're legit planning and routing all the wires to work between multiple different advanced electronic systems, and that's something that's extremely easy to overlook as a viewer unless you actually talk about it. I like the behind the scenes in depth videos like this.

[@Jimidan1000]

It is like he has actually learned something...he has become an expert. Or nerd. Fine by me, I have been a nerd all of my life. You know that you have arrived when you have some folks at NGK engineering department that are huge fans of your project.

Dahm is the only youtuber/ car builder that has a channel that accurately depicts how costly and time consuming an actual project is. Glad I got to be there for the first awd burnout he did.

@@huleyn135 I guess if you've got gloves on, don't get your hands close to the spinning sliver stick of death

[@corbinmarks5688]

huleyn135 sometimes they are sometimes they aren’t, if I wore any glove it would be a latex glove but even then you have to pay attention a lot more. I personally don’t like wearing any gloves because my hands glide nicely over the handles and you can feel the cutter and the cut more. I.E. the machine can tell you what the machine likes and what it doesn’t like

[@IronBlitz]

@@huleyn135 Its not safe if you have to have your hands close to the cutter for any reason. If you don't then it is safe in some ways. It's like using a lathe, you never wear real loose clothing, jewelry or have long hair hanging down. It can rip limbs off.

[@Pedro-ke6xp]

huleyn135 gloves are safe for using hand tools or carring sharp objects that kind of stuff, any power tool that can catch the glove or clothing is a bad idea, mills, lathes, drills Heck even engines when they are turning

[@wilsonlaidlaw]

Rob, your techniques have improved immeasurably since I first watched your videos a few years ago. However when you build race cars, as I am sure you know, you are always learning. I feel you might gain something from reading at least two of Carroll Smith's excellent books: Engineer to Win and Prepare to Win. One thing I always remember from them, is to avoid crimped cable joints at all costs. They are prone to loosening, electrolytic corrosion and consequent high resistance connections. Soldered joints with glued interior shrink sleeves are better but the best is to avoid joints everywhere and run wires right into the plug pins. Aircraft spec plugs with cable seals, a seal between the two halves and a locking ring are what Ron Tauranac one of the greatest race car designer always recommended, preferably with one half of the plug fixed to a panel.

[@evchopstic7681]

Rob, I walked into the lunchroom today and was like "I'm feel like I'm ready to watch a Rob Dahm video" without knowing your upload schedule at all. Clearly you've had a fairly consistent upload schedule over a set period of time to make my brain subconsciously prepared for your videos almost every time now. My brain obviously sees your videos as feel good moments, given that it would otherwise not be subconsciously looking forward to your uploads. Sorry for the long comment, probably too long to read. Thanks for being a great inspiration and role model over the many years ive watched. It's genuinely appreciated.

For the EMF you can wrap aluminum tape around the coil wires and ground the tape. This makes a Faraday cage to contain it

I think that is his goal long term but it does not make sense to do it now in the "testing" phase

[@ScottKenny1978]

Maybe when it's "done". But prototype wiring is always fugly.

[@CarlosAvellanet]

Grounding both sides of the shield is always better. Grounding just one side or 'floating' the ground is used in some applications where the circuit ground is separate from chassis ground.

For the coil wires that have the crazy 4 inches of EMF, is there shielding you can add to reduce the size of the field? Like maybe a conduit tube?

[@austinwilson930]

You should ground the shielding for the coil wires on both sides. Same principal as shielded aircraft wiring.

[@Damicske]

Euhm Rob: it's better to wire the shield on the beginning and the end, Siemens has tested it with large motors (>15kW) and frequency drives (just so the result was way more visible) and the emc/emic is way less then with only 1 side to the ground ;)

You need a set of Noga deburring tools, Rob. Anyway, the car is looking cooler by the day.

[@murphystreeter]

Ok Rob... That may very well be the best wiring job you've ever done. A few thoughts. 1. Are you going to need a fan on the computer and ignition boxes?? 2. Could you turn off your trailing box just to see if there's a difference without them as I do not run trailing ignition (curious). 3. A wire attached to ground at one end and nothing on the other can easily become an antenna. It is advisable to ground both ends. If one end isn't grounded the shield can resonate. Looks awesome!!

[@robertleonardi]

For future reference, if you even see this, Maven Performance Products makes some really nice ignition coil mount brackets/tube clamps that would work perfect for your car in my opinion. Definitely worth checking out.
