Thanks for the nice comments. I do use screens. Here's a picture of them: http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...l_Engine_5.JPG The sensor on the driveshaft is related to the electronic traction control system on the car. You can see the sensor in the following picture - it is the silver collar and associated sensor between the back of the driveshaft and the differential. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...um/Trans_5.JPG Here's a closeup picture before the driveshaft was installed: http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...t_Sensor_1.jpg The silver collar is a custom made piece that contains 2 equally spaced magnets at its edge. As the driveshaft rotates, these magnets fly by the sensor (the part with the wire comming out of it) and create a signal that the EFI computer can read as driveshaft RPM. This data is used by the computer to record speed and miles per gallon in the on-board data logger memory. The computer can also sense any sudden jumps in drieshaft RPM and will interpret these as the rear wheels slipping/tires spinning. When the computer detects this, it automatically removes ignition timing from the motor which reduces torque output and controls the tire spin. I have not yet had a chance to full set up this part of the system up but I plan to do so in spring. If it works well, it should help solve some of the tire spin/control issues that cobras with large, high torque engines are prone too. - Fred |

Hello SoTX Butler
I have sent you an email Bruce |
Hi SoTX, really nice work. Are the 3 square aluminium containers for brake and clutch fluid? What is the tank in front of the motor for that looks like a milk urn? Ive never seen anything like it, it looks beautifully made.
Regards. |
Hi Mando,
My guess is that the "milk urn" looking tank is an oil reservior for a dry sump! Regards....Paul |
this is a little thing i do in my spare timehttp://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d.../100_01251.jpg

Hi Mando,
Thanks for the nice words. The fluid reservoir is a Tilton billet reservoir. One is for the clutch and one each for the front and rear brake's master cylinders. The tank is a Patterson dry sump tank. The engine is a dry sump side oiler. |
