Any reason why the servo controlled valve can't be controlled directly without using the 'pot that came with it?

@TheRuttmeister Andrew - If you mean via the wireless steering wheel buttons/PMU, I don't have any more outputs. That said, I'm not that great with circuits and this is my first servo rodeo so if you have any ideas, feel free to share!
Plus, there may be another servo like this in my future as I was thinking it'd be sorta cool to use one to control the air system flaps so I could manage airflow between the windshield and foot box area.

Here's the latest.
But it's part of the build and I want to document as much as I can so once the car is all done and goes up for sale

If it needs to be done before sale, then perhaps one of the projects will be engraving NSF in some tasteful place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) Always fun to watch and learn from, and I will be sorry to see it finished.

Yeah, I had a look at the manufacturer. Its a shame that they are not exploiting the CAN functionality by having add-on boxes that let you add 6 or 8 outputs for reasonable money.

And I'm guessing their firmware is closed and its not possible to do it yourself.

My buddy, Tyson, called and says, "Your car got pictured in Issue 2 of the Mobil 1 Driver's Journal - the one that covered Luft 9...." and he sends these pics.

My interior got a full page pic! Well, the shifter, anyway...

Of course I immediately went on ebay and bought a copy. I'd never heard of this publication but apparently, it's a limited edition of 2000 copies. I got # 1055/2000.

Pretty cool.

@Retroracer Tony - I just bought a copy of the publication and once it's here, I'll update - assuming additional info is provided.

I'm pretty new to the 914 world, but i've seen several youtube videos with this car. I'm a veteran over on Grassroots and remember the RacerBenz build being pretty epic. Its pretty cool to connect these dots. Amazing builds you've got going on, and now I've got 231 pages to explore. I know you're looking to paint the car sometime in the future, but I really dig the ratty exterior against the precision fab work underneath. I'm in to follow!

Nice job Chris. Wiring is a PITA and it ends up giving you a headache! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I have that same bypass valve on my heater circuit except mine is the vacuum actuated model. I didn't know it was available in 12v. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Our cabins are so small that I had to install a ball valve inline to regulate the amount of water that can pass through the heating coils. Congrats on the write up. It was well deserved. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Finally getting back to focusing on the LS car. And it seems like it's not happy I've been ignoring it...

Best of your videos I've seen yet! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Answered lots of questions I had regarding the LS car.

I hate it when crap like "poorly retained" throw out bearings VASTLY alter the job.

I'd probably just pull that back out...

So bad assed that you can remove the entire package like you can, headers and all...

I think you're going to have trouble with the bypass you created.

I MIGHT be wrong!

If you cannot control the engine temperature normally stick one of those Toyota barrel style control valves I mentioned before on it to block flow back to original configuration.

I think you will have SLOW warm up, difficult coming up to operating temp, if what I think is correct.

Tip on hydraulic clutch circuits:
open bleeder at slave, depress clutch pedal slowly.
Will it stay on the floor? You're done. leave it that way. The reservoir cannot drain, and the line will stay filled due to being sealed via the master's piston.
Pops back up? (spring loaded)
Find a stick...
Remove line from slave.
System up to that point shouldn't drain.
Makes bleeding the slave much easier.
System will not "flow" again at all until you remove stick, raise pedal by hand.

You need MORE CAT content!

The kitty section is every bit as interesting as the wonderful engineering.

You need an inspection camera. I got a decent one from Amazon with a screen for $40. Found it useful for more than sticking it down spark plug holes.

I think you can wiggle the pivot arm and get the bearing to pop in. Luckily you have a spare trans to test the theory.

I just lost a cat that looks like Juju to anesthesia poisoning. She was sweet too, loved to cuddle and make purrs. Her 'tummy timer' was pretty accurate too.

This Saturday's video will cover the details but for now, I think the problem is solved and we should be back on the road tomorrow.

Now that everything is back in working order, it's time for a bit of the ol' "Out and About". This morning it was the monthly Breakfast Club Rally "Pre Stage" at the Marin Civic Center. I got there early and snapped a few of my car.
The event is essentially a Cars & Coffee with a VERY wide range of cars.
If you're local, it's a great way to spend a couple hours on a Saturday morning.

Wait till the kitties are at the two-pound point!

Full Blown DEMONS! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)


Love the DMV "Screened" sticker!

Really?

They accepted that???

Wow!

That is "instant" exhaust. SO nice.

OK, you've actually done engine installs with a handicap I've never encountered.
Engine cradle tilts one direction, car lift tilts the other...

THAT sounds like BULL SHIT!

Enjoyed the video. Keep em coming. The cat prequel (with skip notifications!) works great. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

California, in the spring, with a MONSTER car...

BAD ASS Sir!
