brodie Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 HEKTIC: Strangely enough I can find reference to this kit in my Jaycar catalogue but not a listing for it. Dick Smith, however, have the same kit. It's a K3237 and it's listed at $60. Hope this helps. Brodie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEKTIC Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 yeah does thanks heaps, ahaha and anyways wen i was looking on the jaycar website i found some cool other things i wouldn't mind (ignition cut rev limiter for $60 :)) haha ooh and whats the rrp on that tacho and speedo? i can't find them on the internet?

brodie Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Not sure of RRp on speedo and tacho... the tacho was around $100 I think but I recall the speedo being significantly more expensive, a figure of around $300 rings a bell but don't quote me on it. Can't find the part number for mine, but try vdo 165-002 - think this is the same thing but with a 200km/h max reading, mine reads to 300. If the part number doesn't help and you're keen you can download the whole VDO product catalog on the net (please don't ask me where, i don't remember) - all these gauges are "cockpit vision" series. Hope this helps Brodie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodie Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hello everyone - haven't posted here in ages so thought I'd add some current engine-bay pics as it now has a 7ke manifold, works much better than the previous setup:- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furryfrog Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Good way to revive a thread :blush: Engine bay gives me inspiration to do a better job of my wiring this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodie Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 ... And while I'm here, here's some of the keyless ignition I've been working on - have used an RFID security system with a BMW start/stop button and designed my own circuit around it: press once to turn accessories on, press again to turn ignition on. If you have the clutch in at the time it will automatically crank 'till it fires and run (single press, no need to hold). No clutch= no crank. Press a 3rd time to stop engine. Accessories turns off when u lock car. Has been in for about 6 months now and works sweet - just like all the OEM equipment in the new cars. Sorry pictures are average but my camera has trouble focussing on it. Also since I had done the 7ke conversion I got sick of stinky exhaust, so, although u will all laugh at me :blush: I removed my old large resonator and added a walker metal cat-converter (new) and smaller resonator (from current monaro)..

brodie Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 PS - Those keener among you may have noticed the motorbike battery where the normal battery lives - now have big battery in boot - motorbike battery is used for jump-start only when main battery goes flat - button inside to override Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLO-030 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hey Brodie. Good to see you back here. Got any schematics or plans for that push button starter you have? Been looking for the RFID switches since i came around to no avail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodie Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hey Brodie. Good to see you back here. Got any schematics or plans for that push button starter you have? Been looking for the RFID switches since i came around to no avail. As for an RFID switch I tried a coulpe of units until I ended up using a cyclops alarm which includes RFID, model P785 if anyone is interested ( and no, it's not the sole security device on the car). I do have schematics, it's crude using a few relays, but you will need some sort of device to produce an output based on RPM so it knows when to stop cranking. I have used a spare output from my engine ecu, think its set to about 700 rpm (It cranks at about 400 rpm so when it reaches 700, it's definitely fired) - but I have seen standalone devices to do this. Gaugeworks had something in their cabinet last time I was there. There is a company in the USA that makes an all-in-one solution, but be prepared to lighten your wallet. The problem with an active rfid device is that it's hard to distinguish between being IN the car or NEAR the car, the first unit I tried would allow you to start the car in my driveway when my keys were on a shelf in the house (bad!), and passive RFID devices have bugger-all range. The unit I eventually selected is low-power and active, you need to put the keys in a given tray in the car, or have unlocked it in the last 39 seconds. Works ok. I can supply a rough schematic if anyone wants. Be warned though, active rfid devices can potentially be scanned and duplicated, if a cunning thief is within range.

Taz_Rx Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Nice work yet again. :blush: Intake piping is very conveniently placed should you ever want to supercharge it, or is that planned later down the track? Also PM'd you another question about the keyless start. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
