Current Project

The new rear hatch carpet finally arrived yesterday and we got the hatch area buttoned up. Haven't switched over to the acorn nuts for the cell mount but did throw a rubber cap over the bolt to clean things up.






Installed an FJO boost gauge and wideband in the Tri-Power dual pod. Switch on the console is a mode select switch for the FJO methanol/boost controller. Red LED in the gauge pod is a low fuel level warning light, LEDs on the console indicate high and low boost levels.



We've dodged the snow flakes long enough this week to test drive the car and can say that the FJO system is worked as expected. The boost control function isn't being as cooperative as I would like. For a simple duty controlled, open loop system it's been a little finicky but with some time I'm sure we'll get it working as it should.

Hope to sit the car on the dyno Friday but Mother Nature will have to cooperate.
