    Super capacitor replacement of lead battery

    So the caps arrived today so i started doing layout on my 1/8" copper plate and found my supplier shorted me 1/4" on one of the critical dimensions so now I won't be able to get the 5 straps I need out of it *facepalm*. Decided to go for some pre-made aluminum straps from Mathews Engineering and...

    Super capacitor replacement of lead battery

    Those were actually my inspiration for doing this! I think I can address the shortcomings of the super cap bank by supplementing it with lifepo4 or solar charging Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Super capacitor replacement of lead battery

    This has always been a project I wanted to try but needed the really big capacitors to make it worth while. A sealed lead acid battery is still about half the cost of this project, but where is the fun in that! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Super capacitor replacement of lead battery

    I saw goldmine electronics (link below) had a sale on 3000F 2.7v maxwell super capacitors so I picked up 6 of them and a balance board and some other odds and ends to see if I can replace my 7 year old stock mazda battery and shave about 30 pounds out of the top side of the engine bay...

    Thermostat or temp sensor?

    Agreed, there's really nothing out of the ordinary behavior wise that would indicate an overcooling condition. So all that's left is a wacky sensor and/or wiring. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Thermostat or temp sensor?

    Yep that's normal behavior, I think what's going on sounds very much like a funky temperature sensor or wiring issues. Another thought, how's your coolant levels? Air in the cooling system can wreak havoc on temp sensors. If a thermostat fails open, it takes forever to heat up and temps will...

    Thermostat or temp sensor?

    Try driving it gently at highway cruising speeds. If it stays cold it's definitely the thermostat stuck open. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Low Boost on BNR S3

    Did you change the map scaling values when you changed the sensor? The ecu will not get the right values if you dont Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Turbo leaking

    Looks like pressure is leaking into the chra. Probably somewhat normal for a journal bearing turbo with no oil pressure. I'll have to check that spot next time I run a boost leak test Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Low Boost on BNR S3

    Something seems wrong with your map sensor as it should read pretty close to 0 when the engine is off. Do you have an aftermarket map sensor that maybe your tuner doesn't know about?

    Penguin Mobile: Suspension (a newb's guide)

    Very curious to see what you do with the weight jacks! Will they be the articulating variety with a swivel at the top to eliminate uneven spring loading in the rear?
