Not trying to be the bearer of bad news but i burned up two ecms trying to get the high volt stuff to work out.

16 volt is way too much...just a FYI

Thanks for the heads up!!!! We were already planning to use a voltage reducer for the ECM and in car stuff but your feedback reinforces that we need to hook up the voltage reducer box.

For the amperage requirements you have you will need at least 2-3 voltage(50amp) reducers in line with the batteries @ 3.2 volts each
 
I've wondered if a DC-DC converter would work well with a 16V system to run the 12V components. Most of the gasser electronics (ignition boxes, delay boxes, etc) have been "updated" to handle the 16V input directly, but the OEM stuff is possibly an issue. I used to work for the parent company of Hyster & Yale forklifts, and we had some reasonably priced DC-DC converters for running the lighting on 24V & higher electric forklifts. Not sure if they would work well down to 16V, but there are probably units that would.

I take it from your oblivious research that you need glasses........:hehe: :hehe:

Dates appear to be listed already.....:Cheer:
 
Question being since they were going to be in Hebron on the 4th they might be able to make Indy on the 12th, and I don't need you two dick weed toady lickspittles to point out anything.
