Thanks for the kind words Hutchie! Was a pleasure to cal and despite a bit of re-wiring a late finish we got there with a good result and a well driving and performing car :)
Peak calculated fly was 148.4 bhp IIRC. Really healthy car and it pulls brilliantly!
Do you mean MAP sensor? If its for a 172 I have a few spares. Drop me a PM as I'll want a lot less than 91 pounds for one! 71 pounds less to be exact. ;)
The airbox picks up from the lower front grill area ensuring an excellent supply of ambient temperature air, it's also perfectly positioned to generate an amount of positive pressure in the plenum at extremely high speed - if anyone has a look at it this weekend make sure you get level with the...

Neils mega Clio that Fred and I have been working so hard on recently. We're both very pleased with how it turned out and it was great to see it on the Future Publishing/Fast Car stand at Autosport
:)
? S2000 as in Super 2000 Regs. Which is where the idea first came from. The orignal design was as per the S2000 manifold design for the Focus BTCC project but packaged to fit in the space available in the 172/182 engine bay. This design morphed into something which pretty much was ITB's without...
If the engine is shutting down completely and stalling it's very unlikely to be the pedal as the DBW fail safe mode cannot shut the engine down and still pass type approval (as in stopping the engine you also lose power steering, servo assistance for the brakes etc.)
However keeping my fingers...
The big problem is that you need to fabricate a plenum, a simple bit of ally tube just won't fit in the available space with sufficent volume. Fabricatei it out of billet is mega expensive due to the size of the billet and amount of machine time required. The design I worked on had CNC'd flanges...
That's a pit of a S2000 inlet but not the S2000 style inlet manifold people are talking about here.
The final version was completely straight with a large plenum box. Essentialy ITB's without the butterflies. Had a custom fuel rail, injector bosses etc. etc. very pretty bit of it and worked...
I've not read all the way through this but when you say it won't idle or acceleration does it just refuse to do either completely and die or does it missfire/splutter?
TDC is an old school term refering to older control systems which just looked for a top dead centre reference. Anything modern will need to know where the engine is in at least 360 degree rotation, usualy in 720 degree rotation, so it can accurately place the ignition and injection event amongst...
Happy to help. Sounds a lot like a crank signal issue to me! The CPS is located on the top of the gearbox underneath the thermostat housing. It is a 2 wire sensor suspended on a metal bracket which is bolted to the engine block.
I'd suspect crank position sensor in this situation. Loss of the crank signal will result in the engine stopping as described with no warning lights or similar. Does it restart fairly easily when it's cut out?
With the engine idling gently push on the CPS, if the engine stops thats your...
LOL at Pectel on the T6 we did 2 cals, on SQ6 4 cals, MQ12 has support built in for 16. Every customer calibration I ever saw bar the BTCC stuff contained nothing but zeros in everything but Cal1 LOL
I know someone will get mega confused with what it actualy is as well i.e. stick a load of new...
We have the ability to support 128 different calibrations within EC1 but to be honest we really don't see any point. If an engine is calibrated correctly why do you require additional 'correct' calibrations? Multiple boost levels etc. are supported without needing to run from a completely...
But never the less does show theres a purpose for multiple calibrations.
Do we think theres some confusion here over maps and calibrations i.e. the fact that a calibration can contain numerous maps and numerous maps for a single function i.e. boost control? ;)
Multiple Calibrations do have a purpose and are used commonly within motorsport, for example the IRL boys who start their engines on gasolene but 'run' on methanol (well 90% methanol, 10% ethanol", back in the super touring era you'd have a startup cal as well which as the name implies was used...
Yes the production prototype I tested on my 172s has been running on a race car in the UAE with success. Hence my wish to see them being produced soon as!
Nope BPM as in BPM Racing (www.bpmracing.co.uk) who run in Britcar. The standard airbox in the cup racers doubles up as a very effective inlet air restrictor by butting the entry to the box right up against the flat panel bulb cover on the rear of the headlamp assembly.
The BPM set of mods...
On the BPM car in order to package the airbox etc. in we moved the throttle body flange/plenum inlet by removing and rewelding the flange and neck and plating the required areas around/behind it.
On Kevs car there was little point in doing this as it is a road car and retained stock ECU/Gearbox...
As said earlier the ECU has been a joint development between my lot (TDF), RST and SC. SC manufacture Typhoon rather than use it. We approached SC to see if they'd be willing to work with us on an ECU using the base hardware they had with our strategies etc. The result of this is EC1 which aside...
