You could also always localized groups of wiring together and twos or threes well I guess twos.. that way you could stick to a certain amount of current obviously you'll have differences in voltage because of different resistances.. it's not like their signal wires.. you know what I'm saying you can group them all up like one..clip and pin proper insulation and resistance
Just a thought but could you not use the ford setup like on the explorer or how the 96-98 mustangs were done with 2 coil packs and plug wires that way you could make your wires with 90 degree elbows to the length you need and you would not have to worry about how to mount the LS setup on your valve covers or your wire problem. Not that what you are doing is not awesome cause it is very much so. Just trying to help with the spark plug issue. Thanks
@@douglasvance9444 Yes you could use Ford coils from an explorer or mustang but you need an external ignitor wired in. The Speeduino outputs a 5 volt square wave to trigger the coils. You must use coils that can accept that signal. Like a smart coil. There are individual coils available(such as LS type which are widely available and cheap). Coil on plug. And coils packs. If you can’t run a smart coil like I do, you will need an additional ignitor. There are many Bosch units available. Or I’ve seen ones from a Toyota 2JZ engine used. I didn’t research these much because they seemed expensive. Require an additional connector. And complicate the wiring. Plus. Where the stock explorer coils mounted it would have interfered with my boost supply plumbing from the intercooler.
I understand completely that all makes perfect sense. Thank you for explaining in detail it helps old knuckle heads like myself to understand a bit better 😊
@@terrycarter8929 They are not low impedance. They measure 12.5 ohms. Correct. The ECU cannot handle low impedance. I am not running the white Injectors anyways. I pulled the entire top end off a junkyard explorer. So to me they were free assets for testing purposes.
Could I get in touch with you about this project? I'm doing a vary similar concept with my 351W. I want to pick your brain if you wouldn't mind. I'll gladly pay you for your time and contributions.
Keep it up! Loving the progress and detailed explanation!
I'd say just make the wires. You'll get exactly what you need that way. It's way easier than what you've already accomplished.

Oh Arduino..

I was under the impression those white injectors are low impedance injectors. Can that ECU handle low impedance injectors?

@bpbuilds thanx for clearing that up for me!
