Josh K. Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Having independant ride height and droop/bump adjustment is worth the price. Plus custom valved by Troy Ermish helps :) I can't wait to see how it works on the track ;) Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Cut, grind, weld, repeat.. Getting closer. One step at a time. Lots of travel this month so I need to keep pushing forward. Would like to get the sheet metal done and dyno tuned this month! 4 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 You better get on that repeat'n 2 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted March 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Well I got a whole lot done today. Alot of stuff that isn't seen in pictures. All the rear sheet metal has been test fit and reworked as needed. All the lines look good and I'm ready to break down tomorrow and prep for final assembly and weld out. And just so we remember where this car came from.. 4 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted March 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 I also ordered sheet metal to cover the back seat structure. I'll notch it around the cage and make it look nice. 2 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 It's coming along! 1 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted March 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Rear suspension is out for the last time. Had the finish weld the exhaust hoop and wrap it with header wrap. That part of the car is done. I'm also ordering bolts to replace the studs in the rear diff mount. This way I can drop the rear end without removing the solid mounted mustache bar. Now to hang sheet metal, weld up and holes in the floor, por15 and undercoat. Should be pretty quick...... ;) 4 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted March 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 just a quick question on that last pic, where you have gone to a coil over setup do you do anything to strengthen the arms? Here's the modification I did. 2 Quote Link to comment
Niz16 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 the rear end set up looks mint!!!!!!!!!!!!!, did you go a custom stub axle as well????, cheers for the pic of the shock mount mod, i was thinking you may have boxed that open section at the rear up too as i was looking at mine when i had it up in the air chasing a brake leak before it heads to the trim shop cant wait to see the next lot of pics as you finish up the welding abd body work, plus how the por15 comes up, ive just got some of this to use on a new set of 555 tie rods waiting to go on my car!!!! cheers again !!!!!!

Josh K. Posted March 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I used the Subaru Axle and 510 Axle Flange. Machined them both down and welded on some new custom flanges... 2 Quote Link to comment
Niz16 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 that is truly awesome stuff man!, the level of workmanship on this build is crazy hey, its just keeps getting better really appreciate your replys, and like everyone else following the build i cant wait for the next update!!!!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Well I might have created another project.. I've been asking John Kerr the developer of Nismotronics to develop Traction control for a while and I think I finally convinced him. 250-300whp in a 510 needs traction control.. If he commits 100% then I'll buy the hardware immediately and start fitting the sensors.. Fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 What traction control? You got a new car that removes all the fun for you already! :) 1 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Fun is not going sideways if you touch the throttle a little too much. I want to enjoy, not wreck my car. You haven't seen me drive :) Quote Link to comment

tr8er Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Would it be disengaged with the push of a button? If so, I see no grounds for objection. Maybe you just need more HP to get them on board! 1 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Three stage rocker is my hope. Full traction control, Sport mode and Off. Quote Link to comment

q-tip Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 If you want this car to be in your complete control you should put an L20 in it and just give all those pesky performance parts to me. :Lol: Quote Link to comment

jeph Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 also another alternative to traction control is boost by gear which i think our ecu can do with the boost solenoid they sell. 1 Quote Link to comment
jeph Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 oh and everything looks great as always btw!! 1 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted March 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 also another alternative to traction control is boost by gear which i think our ecu can do with the boost solenoid they sell. I have the boost solenoid. Only problem is at the base boost it's gonna loose traction already. I would need to modify and get a 3psi spring :) I'll probably use boost by gear once I build the motor and crank it up to 18psi.... :) John Kerr said he would add more tables in the future for traction control input from the Hondata unit. Starting from scratch will probably be too much work for him in the near future. For now I'll order the Hondata unit and use the Flex Fuel input to alter the ignition timing based on traction. I ordered these ABS toner rings http://www.dormanproducts.com/p-49879-917-530.aspx?parttype=ABS%20Tone%20Ring&origin=keyword I'll machine them and tap them over my CV's like this: Most likely for the fronts I'll do something like this: And I'll use these Hall Effect Sensors. Done. https://sensing.honeywell.com/103sr13a-2-value-added-magnetic-sensors Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted March 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Looks like I got John excited. Hes working on updating the software to add a new table for Traction Control. He's going to set it up so I can cut fuel and spark to individual cylinders one at a time to reduce power. This is great because depending on the 0-5v signal the ECU will decided the frequency of fuel/spark cut from cylinders. I like the idea of not just cutting fuel but dropping the spark in that cyclinder to reduce the possibility of a lean cylinder. Pulling timing works but sometimes is not fast enough to counteract wheel spin.. Here's what I'm using to read the wheel speed sensors and send the appropriate signal to the ECU: https://www.hondata.com/traction-control-product The Hondata unit has six positions. Off. Min-Max slip. All items are ordered besides the Hondata untit that I'm trying to locate for local pickup as I'm in Ontario, CA until tonight. STOKED!! 1 Quote Link to comment
