Thanks to this thread and Porken's innovation, I made one myself. Getting everything into a little relay case is a challenge, and the linked threads and details from Meatful brought this all together for me. Took 3 attempts as it is really tight and having wires that are too long are as impactful as having wires that are too short. Had to trim and re-solder a few times. Putting the LED in so that the anode leg and its associated resistor runs along the case (to protect it from being bent and broken free of the LED as wires are shoved into the case) turned out to be the trick for me.
Let me check mine out to ensure it's working as intended (I believe it should and will hopefully know by the end of next weekend.) This are kind of a pain to make, but I think I have enough resistors for one more...
Thanks, I was just making sure, I also followed SKPyle directions and also had some confusion that Meatful cleared up in his posts.. I recall a post when I was reaching making my own Blink'R that Ken needed to increase the resistance on the RED led. My RED side works it just gets hot during prolong use. The LED's I'm using are from my Raspberry Pii kit.
Also one thing I'm struggling with is my wideband O2 tester is off the chart LEAN but the Blink'R RED led it is illuminated. I initially set my MAF at 382, it's now at 400 and still off the chart LEAN and the RED led is on...I just received a new BOSCH wideband O2 sensor so I hopefully one day this week if our weather improved here in central PA I'll do some testing with my new Wideband setup installed into the second X-Pipe port.
@sabres32 Thanks for the heads-up! I'll make sure to use my wideband O2 also to check next weekend whether if I'm running lean or not and will post back.
AND... since the flexible 3mm hex tool is no longer available, I made my own. I wanted as narrow as possible, so I got 3mm inside diameter U-joints with set screws and drilled out so the 3mm hex bit (I cut about 25mm off a 360mm long 3mm hex tool) fit and was held by the set-screw. Both items available from the Amazon. We'll see if this works next weekend.
RTK,
I bought this set from Harbor Freight per a recommendation from another MAF tuning Rennlist post. It works but you need to be at a perfect angle otherwise too much tension causes it to slip and not move the 3mm hex. I may need to build something like you have. What location do you find is the best to access the adjustment port?

Hi John, I have to admit that I've not done it yet, and I'll have to check that my MAF lines-up to the alignment mark. But I'll take pics this weekend. Your kit looks good - I just have a fear of loosing tools under the intake manifold. (Heck, there are likely 10mm sockets lying around the engine compartments of all my cars!) I am hoping the set screw (which I used loctite on also) will keep the 3mm Allen Key in place! More after this weekend. -Bob
Bob,
Since the kit was only $10, I just superglued the 3mm tip into the flex shaft to avoid fishing more items from my 928 valley. I hope to give my new O2 WB setup another go on Friday since we're projected to have a 60 degree day in January. Good luck with your tuning this week, I also post my results.
