A quick update. Took the car out for another quick run. This time to the end of the driveway and back. Nothing new to report from the ride.
In the meantime I've started to power up some of the auxiliary high voltage components. I hooked up the DC/DC converter and it works great. It provides a nice 13.8V power supply for charging the auxiliary battery and running the twelve volt accessories.
The heat for the car is also hooked up and works great. It basically is a small water heater that is powered by the main battery pack. The water is pumped through the OEM heater core. The only thing I needed to add was a small switch to turn the heater and pump on.
Next big thing to work on is the power steering. This one may be tricky. The power steering is electric and received input from the old engine computer. Supposedly if it does not receive info from the engine computer it should go into a default assist mode. I'll need to wait till the weekend to check it more thoroughly.
I also need to work on the vacuum pump. It works, but is slow and noisy. Exploring options.
