Megadan Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 it's an XJ Trailer. I made a post on one a while back on here. You buy an XJ, cut away the nose and weld in some rails, turn the back half into a trailer. Kind of a budget/junkyard way to make an adventure trailer. I still want to build one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this has been asked on this thread yet or not, but what's going on with the front of this XJ here in the background? Ya what the hell is that?

Jacob Ochs Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 I'm pretty sure the alt wiring was in the engine harness that came from the camaro... or I found a diagram online and wired it up... ?? No help, I know... and I'm away from it for the next two weeks or I could look...Do you remember what upper and lower radiator hoses you used? Thanks for the help by the way!! If you had part numbers that'd be perfect Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1stDeuce Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Do you remember what upper and lower radiator hoses you used? Thanks for the help by the way!! If you had part numbers that'd be perfect.Pretty sure I used the hoses for the 2.8l. Lower for sure. Back Fri. I can get you a p/n then... Throttle cable was from either a 3.4l camaro, or a 5.7l camaro, '94-95 vintage iirc... I got both from the jy and used the one that fit best...

Bitchin' I'm likely to MegaSquirt my Renix 4.0 at some point. Just save the trouble and be content with the stock ecu, I will never do this again haha, it is not fun what so ever! But that being said I went from Carb to EFI so you'll already have all of the sensors ready to go!

And I want wideband control and LS coil packs :yes:Oh, okay! Coil packs are very hard to configure in Megasquirt! Distributors are the easiest because they theoretically control the coil themselves! But it would be a cool project. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megadan Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 What part has you stumped? It took me a little while to grasp tuning a Megasquirt. I did a lot of reading and talked to guys who had done it before before I really ended up getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
