Awesome!  Absolutely the right call to blend in everything and including around the taillights. 

Did I miss the color you picked?

Yeah it’s a few pages back.  Porsche Voodoo Blue code Z12

SICK!!!

Yeah that makes sense.  I just worry about the exhaust, I don't have any skills with SS nor is that available in the area, so that is my only hold up.  Seems trivial in the grand scheme of things I understand but it's a PITA for me lol

I ran across this clutch actuator and it got me thinking about creating a semi automatic t56 magnum. Using a strain gauge on shifter, the MME actuator, and gear position. Then some maths and a table to command a certain RPM with a DBW throttle body.

Floor the car, and never lift. Grab the shifter and pull through gear, never clutch with your foot.  Each shift it commands a rpm to rev match based on speed.  The actuator is faster than my foot.  And ECU is rev matching precisely easier on synchros.

Goal - I get 8hp shift times in a 50 lb lighter, and smaller magnum trans that has better ratios and  more fun? 

Here is my rudimentary logic can any maxx guys confirm if this is possible:

Strain gauge no pressure 2.5v pushing is 0-2.5 and pulling is 2.5-5v

MME clutch actuator - ON OFF


MaxxEcu :
Wiring-
Switch to enable auto man mode
GPO 1 to MME
GPO 2 Strain gauge
DIG 1 Digital input speed
DIG 2 gear position
DBW APP1 (accel pedal)

Maths:
Gear 1 - rpm = DIG1 x 2.66 x 3.55 x 26
Gear 2 - rpm = DIG1 x 1.78 x 3.55 x 26
Gear 3 - rpm = DIG1 x 1.3 x 3.55 x 26
Gear 4 - rpm = DIG1 x 1 x 3.55 x 26
Gear 5 - rpm = DIG1 x 0.80 x 3.55 x 26
Gear 6 - rpm = DIG1 x 0.63 x 3.55 x 26

Logic:
Idling - GPO2 = 2.3-2.6 V GPO1 OFF, engine rpm as is

1–> 2 shift and command rpm based on speed and gear  - GPO2 2.6-5v = GPO1 ON, gear position = 1, engine rpm = math 2, GPO2 = 2.5, GPO1 = OFF

2–> 3 shift - GPO2 0-2.4 V = GPO1 ON, gear position = 2, engine rpm = math 3, GPO2 = 2.5, GPO1 = OFF

Etc. for rest of the gears.

Likely want a CAN button to enable this,  maybe selectable for different maps based on TPS, WOT vs cruising around and being lazy not wanting to clutch.


Thanks for the input! 

Great progress.  I think YT has been swinging from extremely helpful, low res, shakey vids that people like me needed to watch to get a answer on something, to full production videos with professional equipment fancy editing, and the like.  I am changing my channel to iphone only, quick edits on splice, upload and go.  Heck my last one was filling up my snowmobile with AV gas and got 400 views lol

I am thinking more like a visual way to have the same thing as a garage thread, and for me to remember everything I did when someone asks me about it a year later LOL   

I am looking forward to the off the cuff vid on your canbus and electronics.  Just try not to get long winded, that is my problem, I could talk for hours and as you say "Aint no one got time for that" LOL

Nice job!

I need to actually make a video.  The process slows me down, and I've got deadlines, so video is usually the first thing I skip.

I get it, filming is easy for me, its the dang editing I don't like.  You were good on camera so I appreciated them when you put them out. 

I love the plate and knew what it meant instantly!   

Exciting to see how it goes, I think your spot on with the GM ecu this time.  Keep it simple sometimes is the best.  Still Curious what canbus issues you will have/solve.

Did you dyno at lower RPM at all?  LS engines continue to impress even decades later.  That is a lot of NA power.  What does it idle like?  Good to compare my street engine mild cam LS7 making 681 so your 60+hp more with a couples cubes less then mine.  I am now happy I am not giving up over 100hp for "minimal chop" I will take a 60 diff in a street car all day long.  That said this needs to be in a drift car or something!
