The red LED in the unit will blink a code number at you.

BTW, Brady's car had a blown ignition fuse. His LTCC was fine.

Good to hear it was something simple, although thats probably the first thing I would have checked. Anyway Bob the box works awsome, have not had any problems with it since the beginning of summer. As soon as I figure out why my boost doesnt go higher then 17psi im going to see if I can make 1000rwhp. A guess right now the box/coils have supported 800+rwhp.
I would recommend this box to anyone. I may have a few in the area interested but it would not be till next spring as its getting cooler and the cars will be done in a few.

However the car pops between shifts, some louder then others. It never did this when the ignition was working propar.

Starting to think i should have done it right the first time instead of buying a cheap substitute. If I cant get this thing to work by the end of August im just going to throw a crank trigger and cam sensor in the car. never had this much bad luck with just the optispark

Why come on the forum whining about it? why does anyone post on this forum, to inform, and help others that may have similar problems down the road. Dont get me wrong bob is a great guy to work with, but as I said this post may help another down the road.

Brady thats what im thinking hall-effect with crank trigger if this does not work. the hall seems like a better idea then the drilling into the cam gear.

FWIW, it wasn't my ignition fuse, it was my injector fuse. I checked the ignition fuse immediately but didn't bother to check the injector fuse (1/2" apart)... That one goes into the "lessons learned file"..

Damn brady I just started experiancing the same problem. I blew one bank twice in one month, then steped up to a 10 amp. Went for another run tonight and blew the other 7.5. I put a 10 amp in the other side and made several passes with no blown fuse. At first I thought one of my wires from my fast harness is grounded but when the other blew I was stardled. What did you do to fix your problem? Im wondering if it has something to do with my high injector duty cycle. Im pushing the hell out of these 72#ers, it spikes 110 in second then rides 92-96 in 3rd.

What did you do to fix your problem?

DUHHH...bigger fuse!

I'm maxed out on my 83# injectors.. I upped the rev limiter and popped a fuse.. I guess it was the straw that broke the camel's back.. I asked @ TB.com and Craig said it could happen.. My car has a single fuse, it was a 15A from the factory and I popped it. I put in a 20A and it's been good ever since.


Good luck

Yeah I ended up putting 2 10amp fuses in and have not had a problem with it yet. My 72#ers are at 94% duty cycle, I cant turn the boost up any higher then 18psi until I get my hands on some 96#ers. Brady you got any numbers(dyno/track 1/4 mile) out of your car yet?

Bob I sent you a PM requesting the correct wiring diagram for 93's, but if you get this first fine, could you post here the correct procedure or wiring for a 93 in that they are not the same wiring as what's listed in your instructions.

Honestly I don't understand why both sets of diagrams would not be included in your kits if it's so easy to cause damage in your LTCC box. Simple solution or improved instructions/wiring diagram would perhaps solve at least some of the LTCC damage problems I've been reading thus far. Just a suggestion.

Thanks

Yeah, the instuctions are thin.....I suck at tech writing.

Some friends have helped write a better manual, but it's not ready yet.

I sent you instructions for the 93 via email

My first unit, on a '94, has been on since 2002. No bugs per sa, but I'll agree, the instructions are basically generic in nature. But anyone attemmpting this, should be armed with the correct gm service manual, or a thorough working knowledge of their particular wiring harness. As a mechanic, you should understand, and be in agreement, with that statement.

If the autometer can run from a 5 volt signal, then it will work.

I emailed delteq and Bob Bailey last weekend with some questions. Bob answered in less than 2 hours.
Delteq still has not answered so I resent it tonight.
