Thanks guys.

I mean, if the CAS is gear driven it's really fine. I don't even worry on belt setups much either, but I like a crank sensor. The CAS works great 99% of applications.

I recommend the Volvo p1 power steering unit like Jordan said. It's 2 wires and a drop down. A speed sensor would work perfectly for ramping up control pressure. Steering angle ideal but that's something we can't readily access.

4 wire is fine, 2 wire works great and takes less I/O. I'd recommend a 2 wire if possible.

The B20 dizzy drive fits into the top of the oil pump, it’s sort of like a key drive. The oil pump is driven by a gear from the cam. I assume there shouldn’t be too much slack as it’s worked for the ignition for many years.

I do have a trigger wheel pulley, bracket and sensor on another B20 I could use if needed but I really like the idea of just using the CAS as it’s all enclosed and all in one.

I will certainly look into the Volvo P1 power steering.

I ended up with a Race unit. I plan on an E throttle (one of the biggest reasons I went with a race).

Mitch, I plan on running a PS pump from a P1 Volvo. If you look through the Maxx documentation, they have the CAN network figured out to control it via whatever inputs you want.

what throttle body are you guys using?

 

[GTJordan]

Bosch. There is a list on the site of throttles and their settings. I'll likely just use a Volvo ETA from a P2.

For the record, you can have working cruise control with a VSS input and an electronic throttle body

that's awesome

Thanks. I'd like to get one good season of actually driving my car (touch wood) and then I think I'm going to go after the ECU. E-throttle's are like black magic to me at the moment but it kind of feels de rigueur at this point.

Its very easy to wire and setup, but certainly daunting for a first time. the tools are all there to see your PID changes, real time, at 1000hz.

I'm pretty confident making nice wires at this point, the rest I've become content to hire out to more talented guys like yourself.

Anyone that hates making wiring harnesses, I make them for folks. I will post something in the buy sell soon have done a few now for others.

 

[volvosruinedmylife]

that's awesome

Haha! I was actually just about to ask this.

Brett, have you ever taken these molex cmc connectors apart? Do you have the pin extraction tools? They're expensive!

I'm considering a maxxecu swap for my upcoming b21a+t fuel injection conversion, the goals are somewhere in the ball park of 300hp (ideally)
I know very little about engine management, and nothing about the actual wiring (yet)
in terms of luxuries, all I really care about is knock control and mayyyyyyyybe a coil on plug setup (youtube told me to)
what would you recommend in terms of management?

Use a race model if you want knock control there are other Volvo specific goodies that make it a much better option than street. Mainly built in VR conditioning circuitry that will make doing almost unlimited things with stock Volvo parts as easy as splicing in your stock pigtails....

You can work these connectors very easy with normal desk staples (;

Awesome. When I was in formula sae, I made a lot of connector tools by taking a file to welding wire

 

[sloopy]

So I took a staple, bent it straight, then put a single bend at the middle to make a long U shape. Works perfect for the smaller terminals. I haven't been able to eject any of the larger terminals using it. Maybe I'll try a small paperclip if I can find one.
