    Kyle D Great video!


    I might be the Lone Ranger on this... But I'm working to eliminate ABS module, 2 if not all 3 wheel speed sensors (depends if I want the Haltech GPS), Brake Pressure Sensors, EVAP Sensor and excess Power Steering wires.


    When I disconnect the ABS Module, the engine will not run. Note the 2 dozen micro-controller pins on the ABS Module. X(


    And the Power Steering will not work if you disconnect all 3 wheel speed sensors. Need to bypass that also. :/

    There should only be two wires for the Power Steering to operate (+12V and 0V)... maybe. Haltech to the rescue?!


    I shorted the Brake Level Sensors at the micro-controller, to remove the sensors.

    Now I need to measure the Brake Pressure Sensor/Switch to see what is needed to eliminate those.


    Kyle D  Dave@DDMWorks  rabtech or anyone who has played with this stuff?

    Is anyone running the Haltech ECU?


    What functionality is lost in the ECU upgrade?

    Does the ABS or Power Steering communicate with the ECU?

    r3ap3r I had my Clutch pedal connector disconnected, which caused the same issue.


    P.S. If you connect spare wire from Starter Solenoid Terminal (smaller of two connections) to Battery 12V + it will verify the Starter is good, but I think the starter is good. Caution: Be careful, and don't have the vehicle in gear :) Again Starter is probably good...

    I'm glad to have all of this expertise from the Pros. :)


    At this time I'm willing to give up some HP, to avoid E85 or Haltech's Flexfuel. ARM  Kyle D I am aware of some E85 benifits from experience.


    I think we can all agree 450whp might be possible on 93 octane. I might even be OK with 425whp on 93 octane, before switching to water/meth injection, E85 or additional boost.


    Dave@DDMWorks Thank you for the 15-20psi boost recommended threshold for switching to manifold pressure referenced fuel pressure regulator (MPRFPR).

    ARM  Kyle D I am aware MPRFPR is not mandatory, but I think it will help with tuning and idle smoothness. Perhaps a personal preference... :)


    You guys/gals are great! :00000430:

    Anyone ever seen the HP limit of the transmission?

    Or heard of the transmission gears giving out?


    Wondering if I should stay away from sticky drag strips, with a 4th wheel limited slip diff/500whp/track clutch. ;)

    Dave@DDMWorks

    Any recommendations on the fuel system components to match 26psi boost? I don't think there was anything posted on the website.

    I'm assuming Rabtech was running 511whp on 93 octane, considering the 80# injector, if I'm putting the puzzle pieces together correctly. :)

    Kyle D Definitely some golden info in there. Thank you!

    (FUEL) Regarding manifold pressure referenced fuel pressure regulator, I believe as manifold pressure increases then fuel pressure differential across the injector decreases.


    Example:

    Provided 60psig = 74.7psia and estimating maximum 26psig boost

    (NA) 74.7psiaFuelRail - 14.7psiaManifold = 60psiaInjectorDifferential

    (Boosted) 74.7psiaFuelRail - 40.7psiaManifold = 34psiaInjectorDifferential

    Although injector pressure differential is not super linear with respect to flow vs pressure changes. Assuming a linear relationship, we might need bigger injectors with 76% greater flow rating to achieve the same job, without the application of a manifold pressure referenced fuel pressure regulator.


    I think ECU tuning injector pulse width and maintaining a smooth idle may be easier by avoiding 76% larger injectors and providing a constant injector pressure differential.


    (AIR) Regarding Max whp on 25-27psig, I think I am are running about 300whp at 9psig (23.7psia) at current unknown temp.

    Example:

    At constant manifold temp, changes to absolute manifold pressure is proportional to changes in air mass.

    Assuming I can maintain similar manifold temp, through extra cooling, at 9psig (23.7psia) to 26psig (40.7psia).

    26psig of boost will be about 515whp, potentional air mass.


    Do these values seem logical?


    Kyle D Great information and I appreciate your feedback, on this journey :)

    Was having difficulty finding a thread regarding Fuel Pressure. Point me in that direction and I will add to it. :)


    What is stock Fuel Pressure? (about 58psi?)


    rabtech  Dave@DDMWorks  Kyle D and All,

    - I'm trying to avoid E85, for a couple reasons... At what HP running 93 octane will I need to upgrade the fuel pump?

    rabtech I know you mentioned 450whp no problem (511whp peak bursts), but then I notice a thread where you replaced the fuel pump and I think you are running 93 octane?


    - At what HP/BoostPressure running 93 octane should go with a manifold pressure referenced fuel pressure regulator?


    - What is recommended constant fuel pressure at 500whp?


    - What is recommended injector size for suggested fuel pressure at 500whp?


    Note: I'm aiming for 500whp (on my current DDM Stage 3 Turbo) with future DF Project 324 8.6" LSD to lay it down.



    Kyle D, Thank you for the previous data which I will continue to refer to. :)

    I'm running a 2015 Slingshot. Bought it 13 months ago, and the problem was there when I bought it. Polaris distributor (not my seller) replaced the sensor(s) no charge. Perhaps for safety and liability reasons.


    Yep, no cruise control until it was fixed. :(


    I'm hoping to bypass nearly everything when I get the Haltech 1500. The stock ecu is a mystery box to me. LOL


    Let me know if yall have questions about what happen when you disconnect wires from particular components. I removed about 35% of my wiring harness.
