2fnould's build log

[CoopKill]

Be careful with the battery tenders and your ecu if on the same circuit. I think it was AEM or? that was getting fried from battery tenders. Might check further into it. I think I read a thread on 3sidiot....

[2fnloud]

I highly doubt 750mA will harm anything, but when I switch to AEM I will contact them about this issue.

I found what you where referring to here:

Issue Description: 1311-0378- was working for 8 months or so then one day it started running funny. Now, the car has no fuel or spark. Car starts on the stock ECU. Inspect unit.

Issue Resolution: Inspected unit and found damaged internal circuitry for main relay. Will have to repair and replace components in order for unit to be fully functional again.

The amount due to proceed with Repairs/Labor will cost $654.00. For payment please fill out the attached AEM Credit Card Authorization form. Fax the signed form to 310-484-0152. Your RMA number is B44A36473A.

OMFG!

So, they said the main relay went bad? Said my charger at 15a quick charge can fry ECU's. Didnt know that. So what would cause that to fry the ecu? The trickle charge? I did that to my car whenever its was cold or I
wasnt driving it. I never changed anything electrical. Just the turbo timer.

talked to one of the techs, took off $75 bucks. Said if I pay early tomm, they can have it shipped out tommorrow and possibly be here fri or sat!! Now, where can I scrounge up $579 dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


OMFG!!!!!! im sad. I think after I get the box back im gonna sell it. Too expensive and honestly just draining...money and mentally.

I think at 750mA will be fine.

Yeah, that's the thread.

It has been awhile since an update, I was waiting for things to come in so I could keep progressing.

The hold up was:


That is 1"x 1/8" x 50' neoprene whether stripping. If the interior trim touches the chassis or overlaps itself, this stuff is a gasket to attempt to eliminate rattles.

Here is a couple shots of places I installed it:

[2fnloud]

I also placed everything in the hatch area to check for fitment and to secure the battery tie-down panels to the chassis.





The third amplifier will be on a pedestal centered and above the other two amplifiers.

Then I was able to carpet and place my distribution blacks that I will have no need to access after the install is complete. I was also able to start running power wire, I forgor how much of a PITA it is working with 1/0GA. All of this is underneath the amp rack board, so look now once covered it is hidden for good or until I need to fix something.....LOL

[ictponder]

Lookin really good, I need to bring the wife out one of these weekends and supervise () while you work on this beast lol

[2fnloud]

Or run some wires through my driver's door for my window module

[j2k4]

Steve, you're going to use that stuff on your hatch trim, too, no?

That's where the only rattles I have are coming from.

[2fnloud]

Oh yes I will be.

[futurevr4man]
