Reading ABS Wheel Speed Sensors with Arduino
I am frequently asked how I got an Arduino to read Nissan ABS wheel speed sensors on a Youtube video I posted long ago. The code that was running in that video is thousands of lines long and has a lot going on so I have cut it to just include what I have running…
Read More350Z Wilwood or Tilton Clutch Master Cylinder Adapter
I’ve been working on an adapter bracket for the 350Z due to a number of requests I have received. Prototypes are being machined currently and I should have one assembled to check fit very soon.

Read MoreLS1 Crank Pulley Installation Tool
I made a tool for installing the LS1 crank pulley. Lots of people use long bolts or all thread with a couple washers. I made a complete tool that includes a thrust bearing and full face washer to push the pulley on. It went on super easy. I have created a full print of the…
Read MoreEmissions testing the 383 LS1 with new cam and catalytic converters
My day job as a mechanical engineer designing emission legal engine packages for industrial applications makes me very curious to the emissions output of my LS1 engine at home. I’ve tested my 383 LS1 to ensure the new low overlap camshaft and catalytic converters are doing their jobs. Note that my engine has not been…
Read MoreTechAFX fuel rail cross over hose
I assembled a new cross over hose today using -8 TechAFX hose with 45 fittings on each end. This got my fuel hose low enough to shut the hood again. And I took her for a drive. This hose looks a ton better than the old hose. You can see where I had to grind…
