Liberty's are the stuff, sorry I'm a little bias!

Odd question here but the RPM sensors for the race pack, are the an induction type sensor that use a notched ring and a pickup.

Jim -

- Not using a Racepack logger - these are from EFI. Little more advanced, not as easy to setup but more powerful. Their freq. inputs are a 2.5v crossing, so you can use whatever trigger type you like as long as the signal gets above and below 2.5v - VR type (2-wire) don't really fit the bill, especially for initial low-speed resolution.

- I'm using the ECU RPM signal out for engine speed, and a pair of proximity sensors with magnet triggers for my other drivetrain RPM's. Got the sensors from Sensoronix out here in LA - actually had a hard time finding mag-trigger (proximity) sensors that would work with a 5v input, give a square wave output, and were in small threaded bodies. The guys up there were quick, and the price was right. They've got normal Hall-type (toothed wheel ferrous-metal sensing type triggers) sensors too. Sensors have a surprisingly big working airgap - up to 0.350". The pic of the rear end was me setting trigger range with the voltmeter.

Chassis is certified down to 6.50 in ET - so we're legal to run their or slower.

Rear end went into the car today, all happy. Plumbed air lines for the trans, finished ECU wiring. will be doing some final systems tests Monday.

Yeehaw :rockwoot:

Oh yeah, and page 7, ladies.
 
To the Banks crew, I am impressed. The workmanship puts everything we have done to shame. We are a bucks down deal, and you guys are taking it to the "John Force" level. That is good, and hopefully pays off in the results. Looking forward to seeing it all work. Good luck.....

LOL - and my operation makes yours look like John Force! I've been working on my tube chassis car this weekend, so it's funny to see my hacked-together car (where appearance isn't really a consideration), then come in the house for a break and seeing these photos of a rolling work of art.

Well it's Monday morning and the guys in the race shop had a busy weekend.
