crash

What language are you writing the code in?? (just curious)

Also, I know that you spoke about an aux input in the past, how is that connected to the board, and what type of inputs will it support?

Thanks!

Crash had a good point earlier as I look into more and more details of this thing...I get that 17-18 is lean. However I have see some youtube videos of AFR jumping to 20 after they get off the gas does this happen? I'm asking because I want to handle the warmup state from the LC-1 correctly. This is where you beta testers with LC-1 come in right?

 

for example:

When you get off the gas, the fuel is cut so it goes lean... You may just want to do some searching/communicating with some folks at Innovate... I don't know which is better, more resolution around Stoic or knowing exactly how lean/rich you are...

RE: LC1 outputs...

You might want to set up the range a little bit narrower... anything over 17-18 is way lean...

I'd ask the folks at innovative for some advise if I were you...

I wish....this gauge was oil pressure.

That's the beauty of this gauge, it can be!!! (with a software update anyway)...

Thanks for convicing me to go back to the curved leds. I think you guys are right, it looks a little better. Also there are 27 Leds on the board, (25 for bar graph, 2 for backlit capactivie touch buttons, and 1 shared for buttons and grapch) Anyway, with so many damn leds it gives a lot of flexibility for display options.

w00t!!!

It's like Extreme Programming for aftermarket parts!

lolsol..

The new features sound awesome!

What type of input(s) are you planning for future use? 8mm jack perhaps?

FWIW, I *really* like the curve of the leds on the 1st prototype.

I was hoping you'd come up with something like this (similar to the one I shared with you earlier that was made for the Forester).

Something like this could be a solution for all years but the 05 guys would have to keep their original plugged in so the airbag light wouldn't come on...

So freaking awesome!!!!

BTW, if you ever want or need any inspiration just check out this multi/meter thingy that a guy made for the Forester XT a few years back:

2004 FXT GAUGE PACKAGE w/ ICS (Intercooler Spray) Control

 

This is a stand alone system for a 2004 SUBARU Forester FXT that replaces the existing clock and utilizes the existing clock harness. Although the system is tailored toward the forced induction FXT it can be used with standard naturally aspirated Foresters. The system monitors and displays the following:

 

VAC/BOOST w/PEAK BOOST

Displays Vacuum in inches of mercury. Displays Boost in PSI (up to 30 PSI) Boost is displayed graphically and numerically. During boost, a bar graph “GROWS” from the bottom of the screen and gets taller and wider as Boost Increases. Peak is displayed once instantaneous boost fall below the measured peak boost.

 

BATTERY / ALT VOLTAGE

 

ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE

Displays oil temperature in degrees F. Temperature range is from 110 to 280. When the temp is below 111°, the display reads “OIL TEMP LOW”. When oil temp is above 280 the display reads “OIL TEMP HIGH”.

Note: Uses a temperature sender that is threaded into the oil pan drain plug.

 

TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE (Displayed w/OIL TEMP)

Displays oil temperature in degrees F. Temperature range is from 110 to 280. When the temp is below 111°, the display reads “TRANS TEMP LOW”. When oil temp is above 280 the display reads “TRANS TEMP HIGH”.

Note: Uses a temperature sender that is threaded into the transmission pan drain plug.

 

TIME

Displays time in the form 12:15:45 Future design will allow user selectable form. The user will be able to select or deselect the seconds.

 

ICS ACTIVITY

See ICS Control Section.

 

Note: Units can be custom tailored to your specifications.

 

 

OPERATION:

 

The system uses two User Interface Buttons. The Left Button is the MODE Button, while the right is the SET button. The system has 10 modes. When the Unit is first powered up, it defaults to mode 1. Mode 1 continuously scrolls though the different “monitored sensors” and displays each one for two seconds. The rest of the modes are as follows:

 

Mode 2 – ICS OFF Delay

Adjustable range is from 0 to 240 seconds. This delay is the amount of time that elapses before the sprayers are activated when you are idling in traffic. (See ICS control section)

 

Mode 3 – ICS ON Time

Adjustable Range is from 0 to 10 Seconds. This is the length of time the sprayers stay ON for once they are activated while idling in traffic. (See ICS control Section)

 

Mode 4 – ICS BOOST Level

Adjustable range is from 0 to 15 psi. This is the boost level at which the sprayers will activate. The sprayers will stay on as long as you are at or above this level. (See ICS control Section)

 

Mode 5 – SET HR

Sets the Hour of the clock

 

Mode 6 – SET MIN

Sets the minutes of the clock

 

Mode 8 – VAC/BOOST

Displays only Vacuum or Boost

 

Mode 9 – VOLTS

Displays only Battery/Alternator Voltage

 

Mode 10 – OIL/TRANS TEMP

Displays only Oil temperature/Transmission Temperature.

 

Mode 11 – Time

Displays only time.

 

 

ICS Intercooler Spray Control / WATER SPRAY SYSTEM

The ICS control is a VAC/Boost based system that controls a custom designed Water Spray system that uses four sprayers which possess a well distributed spray pattern. Water is stored in the existing Spare Tire Bin which is modified using a custom designed Cover Plate and Gasket. Water is supplied via high pressure washer pump which is mounted to the Spare Tire Bin Reservoir.

 

Operation:

 

The water spray control has auto or manual operation. Pressing the set button in MODE 1 will activate the Auto Mode (A bold S will appear on the left hand side of the display). When in Auto-Mode, the water spray is activated when one of two conditions are met. This first condition is when a preset amount of boost is achieved. The second is when the vehicle has been under a high vacuum for a preset amount of time. In other words, the sprayers are activated when the vehicle has been idling for a certain amount of time. The sprayers will continue cycling until the vehicle starts moving. In addition, when in auto mode, the sprayers will not activate until the Oil Temp is above 120° F. However the Sprayers can be activated at any time by depressing the Manual Spray Button. When the sprayers are activated the bold S will continuously flash.

 

 

 

Note:

 

The system uses it own sensors (3 bar map sensor and two temperature senders) and does NOT tap into the OBDII interface. The system receives power, illumination and voltage input from the existing clock harness. There is only one modification that is required for installation:

 

You have to send me the factory clock prior to purchase in order for me to remove the power/illumination plug from it and convert it into a pigtail. This in now way will hurt the function of your factory clock. Don’t worry; it can be re installed if you decide that you want to revert back to stock.

 

The Kit has everything you need for installation except vacuum hoses and vacuum tees. The Manual Spray Button is supplied by end user.

Ohhh fancy!

Thanks Opie!

'05 STi seats have airbags. The occupant (passsenger) side of the STi seats didn't have the occupant position sensors or weight sensor (the STi seat has an oil-filled bag and pressure sensor); so a frame swap was neccessary. I essentially unbolted the backs of the seats from each and swapped and pulled the bottom foam/upolstery and swapped them. So the seat frames are LGT with STi foam and skins and the seat-back is a direct swap...airbags foam and all.

 

Hope that helps...I need to write up a thread on how I did this.

I am very interested in this write up as well!

I should know mid next week which package I'm getting as they haven't bought the donor car yet

 

I have until about 10am tomorrow to make a decision if I want to buy a 6MT SPEC 3+ clutch since SPEC will be going on vacation first week in July and isn't accepting orders (from vendors too) after tomorrow. Pretty sure this is what I'm going to get as I've been happy with my 3+ for the LGT for about 25,000 miles thus far

 

I'll be talking with my local shop tomorrow to see if they have a 2.5i donor driveshaft for me. I heard that a 4EAT driveshaft will work as well, though I'm not sure from what years. I found one for $50, just need to verify what years work here.

 

I know I'll need to get stubs, circlips and seals as well as fluid and hopefully that will cover nearly everything besides a dccd controller

 

will keep you all informed of my progress as well, probably wont go in until july unless i get too eager

Anyone know how much the ACT flywheel is? I was on there website but couldnt find a price for the lightweight flywheel. I see there clutch is over $200 more than the spec clutch. Thats a lot! I have a Spec clutch now, and havent hand any problems with it. But its a 2+ and didnt last as long as I wanted. So I am thinking about trying the stage 1 and their flywheel. But I know ACT is going to be atleast $200 more. But I dont know how much there flywheel is.

How'd you wear out your Stage2+ so fast?

I think they're different for each application...

email David and ask him:

specsales @t specclutch dot C0M

Is that just for the clutch? How much for the whole setup?

That's the flywheel...

Check http://specclutch.com for pricing...

Cost?

$399 is the MSRP of the flywheel, I'm sure that the street price will be a little lower....

Oh, as an update for you guys...

SPEC contacted me the other day and they have finished engineering work on their lightened flywheel and are ready for me to come and have the prototype installed on my car.

I should be going in the first week in June for the install
