The rocker pin was updated in 2014/2015. So basically theres a flaw with the 2013 engines.

I don't want to take away from Sojhinn's selling and problem, however i'm having issues with my ESC already D:

So we're having pretty hot weather here this week, peaking over 100°F the past couple days. I kept driving it of course and yesterday I went on a cruise with a couple buddies and myself. We drove it out on some twisty roads and it was working for the most part, but near the end of the drive on our way back, the voltage gauge was flickering and turning off/on several times. I'm assuming either the batteries or the controller was overheating. I'm just hoping I didn't fry anything as this morning (car sits in a garage at night) nothing on the ESC was working as far as I could tell. Just curious what would be the next steps to test everything out. I was going to unhook the power/Ground that is powering the controller and see if that'll reset it. They are cool to the touch this morning. However last night everything was very warm to the touch: Battery Array and Controller
Thanks ahead of time guys!

I checked them when I got to work, everything seemed fine

I'm going to be unhooking all the connections and reconnecting everything to see if that resolves the issue.

Triple check it just in case. And make sure none of your wires melted or arced. Especially above the overpipe near the battery Array.

Are you sure you really want to do this? I know you're in a bad situation right now but think about it.
Are you really prepared to drive a stock 86? Think about it.
I looked on E Bay and it seems like the average price for a used engine is about $2500. Engines are easy to find. Custom Top of the Line ESC's are not.

Welp, i'm on your way but it's 2.5 hours away haha. If you need a place to crash on your way up let me know ^^

Got another update... I unhooked all the cabling from the ESC controller and ESC itself. All the wires look great no issues with arcing or melting. Un-hooked the connections from the battery array and put it back on. However now I have a different glitch...

My right blinker is a solid Amber and I can't make it go away or use blinkers at all. All other electronics seem fine. Fuse probably? Also ESC is still not working at all. No voltage on gauge and nothing spins up.
Should I check the fuses in the engine bay or under the drivers dash? The voltage monitor is securely plugged into the correct spot under the dash as well.
Thanks

Check fuse you may have blown it

I got the lights fixed, just was a glitch with a fuse/nothing was blown.
~
I've triple checked all the connections to no avail. Has anyone else had issues with the phantom controller?

Just to verify as all the instructions didn't specifically say otherwise. There are two connections that go from the controller to the battery array.
~The way I have it configured is the main power (Large RED connection) for the supercharger is going to the main negative terminal of the array and the positive of the dump batteries.
~I then have the smaller Positive and Negative wires coming the controller going straight to the main terminals of the battery array.

Is this correct? and is there a fuse within the controller itself to allow it to not fry the internal parts with heat and overcharged batteries?
Thanks guys
