Scuderia rollator CE86 trueno project

[Ivan141]

A little progress report..



She's rolling again. Notice the working stock tach, fed through my first tach-booster prototype. I must admit it sometimes lags a little when the revs go up quickly, I'll see if I can improve on that.

Short little list of what has been done:
-All under dash wiring completely redone. Could have been done even neater, but it's a big improvement from how we bought it.
-Boost leaks solved (for now). Replaced some dubious piping and plugged some holes we found. No more explosions.
-O2 sensor replaced... last one went KIA.
-Put a resistor in place of the burnt out knock sensor wiring. This actually did the most for driveability as the ECU pulls 10-20 degrees of timing if it thinks this sensor is broken.

For future reference for anyone looking for this info (because I had to wade through loads of moronic answers about what resistor to use):

CA18DET ECU expects to see about 500kOhm of resistance from the knock sensor to ground. Not 1MegaOhm, which still resulted in faultcodes.

On the todo list:
-APK (MOT) soon....
-Power cabling replacement
-New fusebox (in-dash), since the current one is sometimes unreliable.
-Get the thing to handle... T3 coilovers, and battleversion/T3 rods all round and it still drives like a piece of shit, this will not stand.
-New exhaust
-Paint

Here's some random stuff I've been doing to keep me busy: cut and folded myself..



Did damage the nice alloy a bit, but it will be filled with a handsomer threesome of gauges anyway, so there will be little bare alloy left to blind ourselves with.
