The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

[MBS206]

So, life decided to fill my weekends up a fair bit and I've only just been managing little minutes here and there.

I had been slowly working through the full centre panel for mounting switches, as well as a panel for mounting the fuse panel and relay holders to.

After a few CAD (Cardboarded Aided Designs), I transferred everything to real CAD, and then pushed it through CAM and spent Sunday evening with the CNC Laser cutter.

I had built a couple of months back an Acrylic Bender for this project specifically, and tonight I took the chance to bend the panel up as needed, and mock mount most of it.

Hopefully my spare time, and my body hold up on the weekend, and I'll get this actually in properly. There is two small little bits still to draw and cut for the fuse panel, but they're just as added strength for it, as well as additional mounting points for the relays.

Looks good Matt, great to see some progress.

Alright, quick update

Switch panel is fully mounted.
Relay/fuse panel is fully mounted.

Wiring to O2 is now run fully.
Wiring from relay to headlights is ran. Just need to run the wiring to the switch.
Indicator wiring is fully run except from the relay to the fuse (Will attempt to load the video of me quickly testing it...) First time the indicators have flashed properly in 12 years...

Power steer from Barra ECU I've found out no need to connect, as it doesn't do any controlling of varying pressure, and I don't need the PS switch feed back for the Barra ECU at all.


So far, off the top of my head for wiring to finalise it all.
Run cables for the speed sensor. But that involves me also mounting a speed sensor. Gearbox doesn't have one, and I never had ABS, so no speed rings I can use for anything. Likely end up finding an AU Falcon output housing from T5 with the speed sensor and wire that in.
Some earth straps and earth points.
run a couple of power cables from fuses to relays...
I will need to run wiring later for a thermo fan, but I'm waiting to do that for two reasons: 1) I don't know the current draw I'll have exactly, as I don't have the thermo yet, and 2) I don't have new heavy enough gauge cable if I end up with a thermo pulling 20 to 25Amp like a few of the thermo's I'm looking at do for the huge CFM they flow.
Will also be adding a horn too, but need to find my horns first. Ha ha

Two other things I will be wiring in too, but not just at this exact moment as I'm going to make up a PCB for this, but I'll be setting up wiring for the windows, and wiring for the electric mirrors.

Just about ready to move on to running the fuel lines, will need to order them up this week or the one after
