Yes power at the wheels Feels good, with good pull through the rev range , different to drive as now on a seq gearbox. I dont have any idle videos but it idles smooth at around 900 rpm.

My old engine with this box would of been brilliant, its actually easier than i thought to use the box on track.

High comp engine with wild cams you say :)

I would need to ask the mapper but I know it would not change no matter what he did , as soon as it was over 2k it cleared we also tried it with the dephaser disconnected and at different switch points. Not an issue on track just while moving about in the pits.

My latest power run with group n timing and jenvey bodies , we ended up fitting larger injectors to be safe. One issue I am having is poor running below 2000 rpm , no matter what fuel and timing the car hesitates . As soon as the car is over 2000 rpm it clears and pulls perfect , one theory...

If I ever do decide to get rid of it , i will probably break or at least despec it considerably. Just now Im hoping to use it when I can as that's the spending finished on it at least.

Couple more pics from last week. I'm going to try and get a couple of track days booked for Sept before the baby comes then will probably shelf the car until next year. It really could do with a quick blow over to freshen the paint up again but will hold off on that until I know if I will be...

Give me 6 months and will probably sell you mine lol

Hope the back/neck wasn't too sore afterwards.

I was really impressed with the diff in the sadev , seemed to be smoother than my old gripe and let me get the power on earlier. This was confirmed by John when he was in the passenger seat as he also use to have a gripper.

My rev counter was working fine , I wired and calibrated the fuel level sensor yesterday so probably just messed something up in the dash 2 file. If i had my laptop with me i could of checked revs from the ecu and messed with the dash. Sadly no onboard vids as i didn't bother fitting my go pro

I was waiting on the limiter a few times but never found it yet ?

All went well I'm happy to say bar the rev counter not working correctly on the dash from the ECU.

That was at the wheels so will be close to 200 at the fly I would think. Looking forward to eventually getting it out on track tomorrow eventually to give it a shake down. Only thing I need to do still is sort and calibrate the fuel gauge , but may just have to top up the tank each session tomorrow.

I had a look on the ECU interface list and cant see the typhoon or Delta 400 on it so not sure what the typhoon was running. Easy to check by plugging into the dash and checking the set up.

Dropped the car off yesterday to get fueling checked after changing the pump as I'm booked on track on Wed night. Got a shout from Simon at Sitch this morning to say he ended up fitting my larger injectors and adjusting the map to suit and it was responding well with smooth curve and 173 bhp so...

With any luck it's just a case of selecting the new ECU from the dash2 interface menu. My laptop is lying in my car at Sitech but going there tomorrow so will check the dash2 software to see if the new ECU is on the list.

Few little bits to make it stand out ?

I've fitted a new pump and added a temporary fuel pressure gauge to the end of the rail to monitor pressure while it's on the rollers. Justnow its showing 3.5 bar and seems steady under light load. Apart from that I've not touched the car apart from moving it off the trailer as I needed it to...

Thanks I'm loving it so far. I think it was a crazy drive option , the one on my car is just a decal as the previous owner wants sure if he wanted it painted on or not. The badges on the wings were something like a £2500 option aswell crazy. I know somone that has a Pista on order with almost...

I don't have any other pics of the fiesta but its a local car , from memory its genuine Msport arch kit on it . It was a new local show so probably not much on the ford forms , hopefully it will become an annual thing as it has the making of a good show.

the mk 1 was my car of the show the finish on it was brilliant , also love Stu. 's red escort cos. The orion is my mate Davies , he's had it for over 10 years always a clean well presented car.

I ended up at a new local event called Fords In The Park held at lochore medows. Was a brilliant venue for a static show , with a good mix of old and new cars and stuff for all the family to do.

This is my worry with this style roll center kit (i have the same kit fitted) over the one that Northloop does, Im sure they decided to go with a pressed fit into the hub for this very reason. Was there any play on the ball joint taper on the old hub that could of caused stress at the pinch...

Correction he has to sell Neil those wheels , it would look far better on a set of silver Chomodoras, black 1.2's, white 1.2's anyway dont you think John :)

Same as mine then so you should still have 2 aux inputs free on the dash2 plug 1, i use one of them for fuel level. Wheel speed input would go onto the brown wire on plug 1 pin 8 , taking a 5v ref from the grey wire on plug 2 pin 9

Im the same I HATE wiring . I found the easiest way to have the kill switch working when on standalone was to use one of the smaller terminal pairs on the back of the kill switch to kill the ignition feed to the ECU , this in turn kills the fuel pump and ignition.

are you using the serial input to the dash for info from your ECU ? or are you using dedicated sensors into the aux ports on the dash ? I have a DL1 logger im not using , that has a gps that i think can be configured as a speedo but uses the same plug as the ecu interface.
