Ok some of you might have seen my post a whle back about what i did to make the VSC from Flex run better and not crap out!!! Well even with the new setup, wires, relocation to cooler area, etc. This damn thing has done it again. So my new solution to this fix... Delta Current Control!!! I'll see what happens here in the next few weeks and keep ya'll updated!!

 

What did you do to the VSC?

 

Did you get the new fuse holder from flex-a-lite?

 

I moved it to a better location... basically behind the Fuse box in the engine bay!!!!
Yes i had the new holder then it crapped out and i did my own wiring with 8 gauge wire and a glass fuse for a 1500 watt amp!! And when i told them, they insisted that it probably crapped out because the wires cant handle voltage spikes!!!! But its for an amp so doesnt the VOLTAGE spike everytime the BASS hits hmmmmm sounds like hes full of sh#* if you ask me

 

It's not the wire, it's the connectors. The terminals and plugs used have to be very tight in order to transfer the amperage without resistance. As the connection losens over time resistance is created which causes heat. The heat further weakens the tension the plug is keeping on the terminal and eventually everything suffers meltdown. The heat is not coming from the voltage flowing through, it's the amperage, or current. The teminals and lugs are simply not up to the challenge of feeding 30 amps wirth of fans in a high-vibration environment, which is why they must be checked for tightness. If the teminals get hot enough the solder holding the terminals to the PCB inside the VSC will liquify and the terminals will pull right out. This situation is not repairable. Personally, I think the resolution to all these problems with the VSC is to eliminate tension lug teminals from the design and to replace them with screw terminals, larger for the main power connections. Resistance in these connections must be eliminated, resistance is the source of the heat.

In the meantime, a functional VSC can be made to work flawlessly for years to come by soldering the connections.

 

a word of advice on the dc controller. do not overtighten the wires on the controller. and do not change anything on it. they do not need to be tightened very much to work. good luck. mine has worked flawlessly.

 

Thanks D! Ill let you know how it gos

 

im just wondering if you have any dyno numbers because i have heard that they will not only reduce weight but give you a slight horse power increase and better throttle response because there is less for the motor to turn thanks for any help
