Tell me about it. It's nothing like the rage of no arc striking at all on the 20th time because the welder has given up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 Just a note with these repro tanks, the EF8 fuel sender doesn't fit nicely. I used a non vtec Ef sender in its place as the fuel light section of my one doesn't work. I'll make a up a voltage switching thingee to turn on the fuel light when its low Nice new tank And everythign installed And because everyone likes basic maintenance photos here is one of a replacement thermostat. I just need to let the loctite chooch and I can fire it up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Hey M8 im currently making up some of these, and you just select a zener diode to match your low fuel voltage (diagram is missing an earth from chip pin 4) have a bunch of extra components if you like 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 Hmm I'll do some testing and see how the factory fuel light actually works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 I swapped the dash today with one that doesn't have holes all through it. while it was out I swapped the ac evaporator box for a nz new non ac duct so save a bit of space. The high pressure side of the fuel system is all good. I'm not sure if the filler tube is not properly sealed or if it was water leaking out when I filled it but I'll check that out tomorrow. I few more test drives and a final check over and its ready for the dyno. I will need to replace the rear muffler as it is still too loud ofr this old man It took a while to figure out why I couldn't pull it out even though all the bolts were removed, then I saw this. At least the screen won't leak I guess 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris r Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 I picked up a few bits today, spare seat rails, radio surround and bumper supports. It'll be nice not to have screws doing through the bumper and guard holding stuff together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should just use an arduino nano. Probably cheaper and infinately more variable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total board was like $1 and a pack of standard zenner diodes is fine for estimating a few L left Don't complicate it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
