    The junkyard approach

    I've found some time and managed to get the throttle position sensor signal out to run a servo for testing. It works! The servo arm moves with the throttle! The throttle body on the R-34 is a drive-by-wire set up and the 0-5V signal out is the butterfly position, not foot position. From what...

    The junkyard approach

    Airflow meter test is now done and it looks good, as peak output voltage was 3.6V at 6500rpm, wide open throttle I think max signal voltage before the ECU will log a fault will be somewhere above 4.5V so there's plenty of room for boost on the stock engine management system. Rumour has it...

    The junkyard approach

    Love rotaries! I've owned an FC3S RX-7 and RX-8 type S, the redline on the 13B-MSP was 9,500rpm. Great cars! The P2 sounds ideal for my RB20, but as I'm using scavenged parts... beggars cant be choosers! :ROFLMAO:😂 The TD06h compressor is a good size but I think it'll restrict the intake a bit...

    The junkyard approach

    ... And the junkyard gods have provided! I have acquired, for FREEE! A TD06H-25G Kinugawa anti-surge turbo! Better still, the compressor map goes down to 46,100 RPM which is achievable with a 4092, 1520kv motor... Provided 4kw is enough to drive the compressor to that speed... The borg-warner...

    The junkyard approach

    I have a background as a service and repair mechanic (15 years) and have built many RC models and racing drones... 2 motors is easy... Even 6 motors on a hexacopter drone is easy, just a bit more time consuming... I've also rebuilt an e-skateboard (2 motor, 2 esc type) and have plenty of...

    The junkyard approach

    Thanks for the reply. That ESC you're looking at is a monster. this one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/266909143317 I think the peak rating and continuous ratings are limited by heat (like all electric stuff). That ESC appears to have a peak power through-put of 54kw (fry mode, which it could...

    The junkyard approach

    Hi All, I am looking at using a pair of 4kw 4092, 1520kv, 4-pole brushless DC motors on some TD04 or similar compressors; plentiful 2nd hand! The Flycolor 'opto' 15OA, 5-12s ESC from Ali' looks good, e-rpm unknown. The battery will be a 10s pack, 36V (42V max). I have a few e-scooter...
