You left out differential inputs and common mode noise.

This also easy enough to fab while using the stock lower control arm that has been upgraded for more strength.



i have it all apart right now.

Street driven. 250hp, 230 lb ft at crank.

Bumping up the brakes, hubs etc is for phase II next year.

Transducer/microphone/speaker all depends if you are going from mechanical to electrical or vice versa. Put current through them and they deform. Deform them with external pressure and they develop current.

I'd have to put a scope on them to be sure but other knock sensors I've used are just On and Off. They open or close the internal contacts when a shock wave travels through them (the ping). https://www.ti.com/lit/an/slyt580/slyt580.pdf https://us.autologic.com/news/piezoelectric-knock-sensors https:...

The distance between the conductors and the dielectric between them determines their impedance. The tighter the twist the better the control of this. https://www.trance-cat.com/electrical-circuit-calculators/en/twisted-pair-impedance-calculator.php The tighter the twisting, the higher the supported ...

Going with stiff bushings, larger dia wheels and lower profile tires, coil overs/shocks initially. Next spring i can place sensors on all the chassis and suspension components and monitor their positions and behaviors in real time to make adjustments based personal preferences and real time data.

Naaaaah, just Closeout pricing, 30 day warranty, no studs and no seals.

Oh you can buy the same part number for >$100 from a few vendors. How long will it last if you pay the extra $90 or more?

Ordered a pair of Moog 513011 hubs from Rockauto for $18ea. Hubs came in a National Bearing box with a Moog sticker on the bottom. Made in Korea. With all the counterfeit bearings from China lately, which brands and part numbers have you found to be reliable? https://i.imgur.com/lpWqztb.jpg https://...

So solid bushings for the cradle and a tri link all in the same plane for the '88.

The '88 is a slight improvement over the '84-'87. It's still a twisty chassis powered by a washing machine engine.

he rear 84-87 cradle and suspension is really bad. What is so really bad about it? The toe changes slightly near the end if its suspension travel with the factory bushings and tie rod mounting locations. I can argue that whole car is an under powered and twisty and needs a proper frame, wheels, tir...

This car might get caught in some snow or slush while driving home. It will be a daily driver 9 months out of the year. I like the small shields for the front just to help keep muck away from the bearing seals.

I use local foundries for the pour. I work on the tech in the lab so I have access to all the test equipment. https://blog.foerstergroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CT-DE/09_Graphics_Infographics/04_Risspr%C3%BCfung/Risspr%C3%BCfungsverfahren_Final.png?width=800&name=Risspr%C3%BCfungsverfahren_Final.png Ult...

Sand cast iron. Sand molds are 3d printed.

If I go this route I'll probably cast and then machine.

I want to see how bad it is after all Delrin bushings, coil overs, larged dia rims and lower profile tires. It would be part of stage 2 next year for this car.

That is ugly. Almost makes me want to make new knuckles.

Thanks.

Have to copy and paste the link since they have a certificate issue at that site. I also used http vs https in the address.

I just get 403 errors from your links.

Any chance you can copy that image to another image site so it may be posted here?
