140amp alternator? You going to run a stereo or do you just like juice?

Both. My stereo consists of a Kenwood deck, JL subwoofer in the passenger foot rest, Infinity door speakers and an amp. I have several to choose from. Rockford Fosgate Power 300, Kenwood KAC-923, Phoenix Gold ... I'm not sure which one I will use.

I like having on demand power from the alternator. Figure if my radio is blasting the amp could draw 30-40 amps. I have HID headlights, 35 Amps. My EFI 10-20 amps? Cooling fan 30 amps. Just with those loads my worst case is a 125 Amp draw peak. The alt I ran on my V8 most of the time was 85 Amps. This one cost me $125 from my FLAPS. Less than a dollar per amp and each Powermaster comes with a spec sheet. This one makes over 100 amps at idle. Top if off, it's chrome! Chrome makes cars go faster...

Good stuff! I've never been a fan of a "kickin" stereo, but your sounds mild. I have all the stuff for a mild stereo as well, but right now I have a deck and door speakers and stock speakers, last time I turned it on it kicked pretty good, but I typically dont drive with the stereo on.

Time for a wiring update. I have the ECU complete exept for the missing wide band O2 sensor and my VSS. It has some aux inputs and outputs that are undetermined right now. The gauge wiring is complete to a cannon plug in the rear trunk. I need some sensors to finish it off. When I sold my V8, I left the sending units in the engine.

The Rotary uses oil injection. similar to a 2 stroke but it is actually a 4 stroke engine. The purpose is to oil down the chamber walls a little. Just like a piston engine has oil splashing under the piston. This engine uses an electronic oil metering pump. Most tuners pre-mix the fuel and get rid of the pump. I found a controller for the EOMP in Australia. It is mounted on my dash and wires to the pump and the TPS. This controlller is yet to be wired up becaust I have an installation question. The builder in OZ has less then stellar customer service. I hope he checks his email in the next 2 weeks.

Here are some pics...

The cannon plug in the center goes to the gauge sensors when I buy them...

I installed a battery bulkhead connector for the main cable... Battery in the front trunk. Starter cable will connect to this terminal...

I also fabed up a new throttle cable. I got some 1/16" SS cable and used some leftover teflon braided tubing I had. I pulled off the old ferrel that mounts to the tunnel. Pressed it onto the new tubing and covered it in shring tubing. I ran it wide into the hell hole to clear the heat from the turbo. I also fabed up a bracket to the intake. The intake side and pedal were completed with some left over Lokar parts. My cable is now 11 feet long. the teflon tube is smooth. All that's left to do is lube it up and strap it down to the hell hole...

Hard to see the bracket I made but it is super cool and maybe the best piece of fab work on the car...

Did a little work on the exhaust today. Welded my 4" 90 to my flex and added a V Band to the end. I'm going for the largest 914 exhaust award (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) After welding and grinding, I put on a coat of 900 degree paint and wraped the tubing. I still need to get the muffler and turn down but this is a start...

Now it's time to tackle my dash wiring. Between pulling my gauges, my Engman fuse panel and rewiring the rear harness... My dash is a mess!

Thanks guys! My self worth was starting to suffer...

I did get a lot of work done in the last few weeks. I am very happy about that. There is now the slimmest of chances I can get it up to WCR this year. I'm not going to push it though. I don't want to bring a non driving car up on a trailer... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Jamie...

I have HID headlights, 35 Amps.

Really ? 'cause my HID's draw 35_W_.
low sustained draw is one reason Priiius' have 'em.
They do have a bit of startup kick but it's momentary.
HID's run just fine on stock headlight wiring which can handle nowhere near 35A.
But maybe you have some kind of lights I haven't heard of...

You are correct. I miss spoke (wrote)...

P=IxE
70W(35Wx2)=?x13.5V
I=5.18 Amps

My lights draw 5 Amps.

Now my Hella 100W driving lights...
200W=?x13.5V
I=14.8 Amps

My high beams are 60W. If I have them all on I might hit the 35 Amp mark... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I go to great lengths to be remembered at each WCR (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) Hopefully this year it will just be that I kicked your ass at the autox (IMG:style_emoticons/default/splat.gif)
