Download or read book Custom Electrical Panels and Wiring Harnesses written by Robin G. Coles and published by Rgcoles. This book was released on 2014-11-14 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robin G. Coles interviews Mark Rogers about Custominzing Electrical Panels and Wiring Harnesses. Inside you'll discover these key points: - Custom panels for a sailboat can have a selector switch for the navigation lights that is fed by a single breaker. - To connect a PC to a chart plotter to a VHF radio, use something like the Blue Sea #2408 or similar terminal block with little ring terminals for each connection. - To be able to switch between US and European shore power, install two different inlets on your boat and a selector switch to reconfigure the transformer. - You know it's time to replace the wiring on your boat when you see cracked insulation; the conductors are turning green, black, or crumbling; or if the wiring has been exposed to salt water and/or the navigation lights aren't working properly. Check the wiring in the bilge pump. - Using automotive wire or, worse, housing wire, is illegal. - Make sure wires are properly terminated with crimped connectors or a proper type of Eurostyle terminal blocks. - Follow ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) guidelines. They are a standard-setting organization and many of their regulations closely follow national fire and electrical codes. - To prevent corrosion, spray wires with a dielectric protectant once a year when you're commissioning the boat. - Generic batteries last an average of three to four years. With premium batteries, like Rolls, plus well-regulated charging systems, the battery could last ten years or more. - A clever way to repair the rubber sleeve protector on an outboard external wiring harness is to open up a piece of split-loomed tubing, wrap it around the existing wiring harness, and secure the two ends with hose clamps or cable tie wrap. - Think about any add-ons or changes you might want to make in the future and design for those eventualities now.

Download or read book How to Use and Upgrade to GM Gen III LS Series Powertrain Control Systems written by Mike Noonan and published by CarTech Inc. This book was released on 2013 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The General Motors G-Body is one of the manufacturer's most popular chassis, and includes cars such as Chevrolet Malibu, Monte Carlo, and El Camino; the Buick Regal, Grand National, and GNX; the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme; the Pontiac Grand Prix, and more. This traditional and affordable front engine/rear-wheel-drive design lends itself to common upgrades and modifications for a wide range of high-performance applications, from drag racing to road racing. Many of the vehicles GM produced using this chassis were powered by V-8 engines, and others had popular turbocharged V-6 configurations. Some of the special-edition vehicles were outfitted with exclusive performance upgrades, which can be easily adapted to other G-Body vehicles. Knowing which vehicles were equipped with which options, and how to best incorporate all the best-possible equipment is thoroughly covered in this book. A solid collection of upgrades including brakes, suspension, and the installation of GMs most popular modern engine-the LS-Series V-8-are all covered in great detail. The aftermarket support for this chassis is huge, and the interchangeability and affordability are a big reason for its popularity. It's the last mass-produced V-8/rear-drive chassis that enthusiasts can afford and readily modify. There is also great information for use when shopping for a G-Body, including what areas to be aware of or check for possible corrosion, what options to look for and what should be avoided. No other book on the performance aspects of a GM G-Body has been published until now, and this book will serve as the bible to G-Body enthusiasts for years to come.

Download or read book EFI Conversions written by Tony Candela and published by CarTech Inc. This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Converting from a carbureted fuel system to electronic fuel injection (EFI) improves the performance, driveability, and fuel economy of any classic vehicle. Through a series of sensors, processors, and wires, it gathers engine and atmospheric information to precisely deliver the correct amount of fuel to your engine. With a carburetor, you must manually adjust and change parts to adapt it to differing conditions and applications. Installing a complete aftermarket EFI system may seem too complex, but it is within your reach by using the clear and easy-to-understand, step-by-step instructions. You will be able to confidently install the correct EFI system in your vehicle and enjoy all the benefits. A variety of EFI Systems are currently available--throttle body injection (TBI), multi port fuel injection (MPFI), stack systems, application specific, and special application systems. Author Tony Candela reveals the attributes of each, so you can select the system that's ideal for your car. Author Tony Candela explains in exceptional detail how to install both of these systems. To achieve top performance from an EFI system, it’s not a simple bolt-on and plug-in procedure. This book takes the mystery out of EFI so it’s not a black art but rather a clear working set of parameters. You are shown how to professionally install the injectors into the intake system as well as how to integrate the wiring into the main harness. In addition, each step of upgrading the fuel system to support the EFI is explained. The book also delves into integrating ignition and computer control with these aftermarket systems so you can be out driving rather than struggling with tuning. Turbocharged, supercharged, and nitrous applications are also covered. A well-installed and -tuned EFI system greatly improves the performance of a classic V-8 or any engine because the system delivers the correct fuel mixture for every operating condition. Get faster starts, better fuel economy, and crisp efficient performance. In EFI Conversions: How to Swap Your Carb for Electronic Fuel Injection, achieving all these benefits is easily within your reach.
