I just made this up today. It's not as pretty as Nitro Daves stuff, but it'll do the job and hide out of the way when not in use.

Man, it's been eighteen months since I last started this car. I hope to hear it start before the weekend!

Home stretch, folks



It's got controls for nitrous enable, NOS bottle heater, 120 V inverter for laptop duty, and line lock. It also enables me to select four different ECM calibration files, for pump gas N/A, race gas power adder, valet mode, and economy mode. It also has a switch for FLASH enable so that I can flash new firmware into the ECM. Nitrous purge button will be located elsewhere. I'm working on putting in the remaining pieces of the harness into the car tonight: I need to knock together a line to the reverse lockout solenoid, then run a wire up from the ECM, through the dash, to the location where I will be mounting some form of shift light. After that, I think I can reassemble enough to at least run the car.

 

So that one little box that is RTV'd in there, are those little DIP switches that control the ECM calibration files?

 

Yes they are. Four DIPS: DIP 1 & 2 form a two-bit binary word that can represent four different states, and those states determine which section of memory the XFI looks in for its calibration files. Thus, you can at a flick of two DIPS, choose the calibration file that the ECM will use upon power-up. It ought to be handy for things like adjusting for pump gas or race fuel at the track. Same thing with nitrous control and for when I want to lock down the powertrain when it's parked in a public place. Switch 3 is unused at this point, and switch 4 is for enabling FLASH updates to the XFI whenever FAST issues them.

 

Gotcha, pretty cool idea.

 

whoa, i want a valet mode on my car lol

 

do you work in aviation? those cannon (sp?) plugs look like the ones we use on our helo's. where did you get them from? i'd like to make my engine haress out of the (the part that goes through the firewall) and they are nice and durable, thanks

 

Those are ITT Cannon KPT 26482-series connectors from PEI Genesis.

Specifically,
KPT06F10-6SA71 (A71 specifies the nickel plating) for the female plug, and
MS3110F10-6P with KPT00F-10 end bell assembly for the male plug.

Those are the 6-pin connectors. The KPT-series is also offered in 10-pin and 19-pin configurations, both as solder lead and crimp lead connectors.

I use them all the time for aerospace and automotive instrumentation test projects.
