look awsome i wish i had a SC

 

thats badass Baine!1

 

I had a problem with my AC line, but finally bent it enough out of the way and tied it down that it has not caused a problem at all. I have had my S/C for about 6 months now.

I love the polished S/C and the Powder coating. I wish I had gotten mine polished. Looks very clean, mine looks all dirty now lol.

 

Ok, here's the current progress report on the SC. IT LIVES. Now for the bad part. I
got everything worked out and put back together. Started her up for the first time, and
the engine runs. The problem is I got no interior Accessories power. No gauges, lights,
signals, radio, brake lights, windows or locks. I do have head lights and high beams.
I do have a dome light. So, what did I knock loose or fuse did I pop. I checked all the
fuses that I can find both inside and in the engine. They all looked good. Tomorrow I
will check all the ECU plugs to see if they are loose.

Good night

 

Check the fuses under the dash, if that's not it, check the relays also. Maybe also check all of the wires coming off of the battrey terminals also.

Also check to see if the underdash fuses are in the right slots. I found a fuse in the wrong slot when I checked on my car at the dealership and when I put it in the correct slot everything worked.

 

Check to make sure the fuse in the upper left hand corner of the fuse box under the dash is good. If the ECU is properly connected the engine will run, if its not propewrly connected I'm not sure if the engine will run or not.. Sounds like a fuse problem.

 

yea...definitely sounds like a fuse problem. Baine, do you have an OBD II scanner?? Even though you dont have any gauges or lights on the interior, you still may be throwing CEL's. See if you can get your hands on one if you dont have already. I doubt your gonna throw one that has anything to do with this stuff but its good to know just in case that everything is workin alright under that hood.

 

Yup, blew the 120 amp fuse to the alternator. It was hidden behind the positive post
on the battery. I replaced it and all is good. It is a very definite kick in the pants
when the boost kicks in.

Thanks for all the support
what a great group we have here

 

Baine, COOL! Glad everything is running like its supposed to be now.

 

Damn Baine, that looks SWHEET...Nice work...

 

Baine, any updates...More pics of the entire engine bay...Have you had a chance to dyno it yet...I must say, that both yours and hip 2b sqr's look awesome...Very nice detail work...Congrats...

 

All rainy here in Atlanta today. I will post an assembled
picture soon. I'm waiting for the new clutch to arrive and
can't dyno till then.

 

Rain? What's that? We desperately need rain here in Az, were coming up on 100 straight days without measurable rain here in the Phoenix/Maricopa County area...Keep us updated!

 

I picked the car up from the shop today with it's new clutch. Wow, what a difference.
The pedal feels like a real clutch now, not the flaming bag of dog poo that it was. It
grabs a lot earlier now. It will take a little practice feather this clutch smoothly. The
bad news is that I have to behave for 400-500 miles until the clutch breaks in. No
fun of any sort. So I waxed the car and at least it will look good as I drive slowly with
the peasant class.
