Finished. 100 pieces. Took about 4 hours.

Cutting the battery tabs for the big battery pack for the dune buggy. .15mm Cu

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. @GFALAWRYAN @SadieGirl216

First run with the turbine installed on the rail. Fully automated startup.

Just need a couple pieces of heat shrink and I’ll be done with the control box. Got the wires from the fuse box cut and terminated and braided. Tomorrow I’ll finish ip the box and start wiring on the engine and frame. I need to figure out the dash. Thinking of using some of the premade ones. Possibly one of 9” wide dash panels for the Speedo and vehicle controls and one of the center consoles for the turbine controls. This would also allow me to hide the power disconnect compactor under that.

Cut out some sheet steel for the capacitor bracket for the control box. Long boring video.

Control box and power electronics are done for the turbine. Still need to make a bracket for the caps and connect the HV battery cables.

Quite the mechanism for an instrument clamp.

Test fit to see if Kimchi still fits in his hakama

Had a hell of a time cutting holes for the power feedthrough on my control box with the carbide hole saw I had. I ordered a couple more saws and took it to the tool grinder and ground the carbide to a negative rake as well as the same to the pilot but. Cuts the ABS clean now.

Starting on the engine control and HV box. Schematic is a mess but who cares.

My tub has grown a bit.

Radiators attached. Need to shorten the hoses on the oil cooler.

Reattached the back frame. Made some changes too.

On this EGT, Anyone know what it means by “Use 8 ohm C-A leads” I know C-A is referring to Chromel Alumel but I have never seen an ohm rating on thermocouple wire before. I saw another EGT that said “use 22 ohm special leads” I’m so confused.

Caught a cold Thursday so I was laid up for a bit. Got the fuel system plumbed in, parking brakes hooked up, and 12v battery mounted. Also found the back bumper loop pieces was crookeder than all hell and barely attached so I cut it loose and I’ll reattach it.

Brakes, accelerator, fuel tank, pump, filter and cooling pump installed.

Got pedals now. Brakes and made an adapter for the electric BMW pedal I am using. They sure didn’t make mounting that thing easy.
