Hi Lofty..
My background hmmmmmm.. a mis-spent youth lol.. albeit that was 25 years ago
For the last 8 years I have been involved in IT - MCSE certified etc, at the moment I manage network security for the UK NHS. (prvate network with 1.2 million users)
Electronics, I became a radio...
Hi Chun, you ma have answered your own problem here M8
if the muppet on the rollers took it to 7600, thats yer problem, the bozo should have looked at the max power figure / rpm first.
at a given point, the graph will drop.. no superchip or other conversion (Apart from cams) will move...
what do ya mean by misfire Nick ?..
ps, yep, the anorak rush is great LOL...
where are you getting the unit from ??
I might just have to make that too lol.
might start with a bigger microprocessor so I can add the little features.
Joe.
a series of open threads re : - how does XYZ work ? - or what does abc do ? etc
if enough guys n gals would like to know more techy details.. I am sure there are enough people with knowledge here that could answer the queeries.
just a thought..
Joe
Not sure about donny south yet Nick m8.. just sorting me diary out for work.
re the unit.. absolutely, yes, across the coil is a brilliant design.
as said, the -ve terminal is normally disconnected from ground to cause a field collapse in the coil generating the spark.. your unit will...
have you an oil cooler fitted ?? could be that.
best way to check for leaks is to clean all areas of the engine / box / cooler with gunk..
then observe for fresh leaks.
Joe
and..
I have just done a fag packet design for myself based on your unit.
what a bloody easy way to make a boost r****d unit for the 172 Kompressor !
1 * 8 pin PIC micro (75p!) a FET and a few resistors and caps.. add a dash of pressure sensor with linear voltage output (£25).

Nick, hi.
I have been contemplating the r****d unit you have.....
and, yes.. it can be connected across the coil..
Its actually quite simple. (the good ideas always are LOL - I was doodling a design last night and bingo.. I saw the light.. hee hee
This is how it must be working...

Hi Anders.. I have been informed that they no longer sell them
Its all cd rom now.. but gawd know what the price is.. you would probably have to be an authorised dealer et al..

Hi Griff..
oooo.. this has been done to death with Nick Read n Me
but.. there is no way on gods green earth that forced induction occurs on a ram air scoop or principle..
on an f1 car, with slide throttles and the need for non turbulent air.. at, say... 180 mph.. then maybe.. on a...
Hiya Chun.. half the problem is that the induction kit adds nice noise, (it is actually possible to read the car better .. but thats an aside lol...)
the noise really DOES add to the experience and the whole kit strapped to yer ass feels better
the noise from a lot of sports cars is...
Hi Chun.. the answer is.. I DONT KNOW
neither does anyone.. cos (as far as I am aware) it has never been objectively tested.
that being the case, It could be loosing you a whack of gogo, or, adding to it..
in my experience, the ones that actually gain anyything are few and far...
Hi Chun,
heres a good tip..
have a plot done on good rollers PRIOR to any mods..
always take the motor back to the same rollers.
The piper could be losing you 10bhp !, the superchips is designed for a standard car, and the scorpion has probably NEVER been tested on a 172.. just made...
