Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Various places, installing IT/Network equipment etc.
Anyway, ive just had the casing off the ECU again, to have a closer look. Ive had it apart before, but didnt notice anything wrong or anything that had been added (Possibly by ecu clinic etc)...Anyway...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
I tried once earlier, rang out though, he might have been out....had to go out to work then (where I am now)....
I wasnt going to go to work if he was there as I was gona try and get a lift upto leeds to take the ECU, but never got in touch so had to leave it.
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Not got anywhere yet today either, coming upto a week without the car running now again.
PM'd paul@rstuning regarding flashing my ECU to virginise it to 'enable' the emulator, but not had a reply on here/msn....so ive just wasted another day doh
Not long...
My old car is earlier in the thread, thought id put my current one in here too....As its technically not a sport, ive just borrowed parts from one heh ;)
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
I think the decoder/key/UCH on the loom i got are all mismatched.
Basically the emulator misses out all that shite, and provides the ECU with an immobiliser code (what the UCH usually does) when requested by the ECU on ignition.
Once the emulator provides...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

Wanted to swap the box (other box is practically brand new), so I dont have any issues (My current box likes to whine in 2nd and 3rd)....as ive got brands on 27th, fcs in june, ring in july, cadwell august, oulton sept....so just want to not...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Dont need another ECU to sent to RS, this one will do, as it just needs flashing again with a standard 172 map off the car to virginise it, then fit the emulator, and i should be away...
But 1. its more cost, 2. ive not got the time to be waiting to send it...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Just tried to PM' you, says inbox full though?!
Nah, not got £1k+ to put into a decent setup + mapping so its definately out of the question.
Going to call the RAC shortly I think and get the car towed home.
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Nah correct ECU. 172 Ph1, exact same part number/model number (Sirius32, is the model, drives alot of other models too), but the specific model number is exact same as Matteh's.
I flashed it as said with the 172 software + map, all went well, so technically...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
No word from ECU clinic...i sent another email but no reply as of yet...
Emulator arrived this morning, fitted just 30 mins ago. All wired up, getting power etc, immob wire is linked to the immob pin on the ECU (58), car still dosent start! FFS.
This means...
Make sure if your getting the ECU de-immobilised that its hardware based, and not just someone re-coding the software (ECU Clinic, who i used, are software only).
Hardware based = soldering a cicruit inside the ecu.
Otherwise wave bye bye to your time and money if you ever want to re-map it...
lol at pm'ing me, ive just gone off other peoples advice ;)
you have to pop the cam seals off the end (passenger side of head) and check the two slots on the end of the cams line up horizontally to each other....
turn it over by hand on the crank pulley clockwise until they line up, if they...
Got round to getting a few of the videos up onto the net, already posted my pics here. Got quite a bit of action in off the sub 6k limiter, short shifting FTL.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
UCH/Decoder etc all wired up, wire ran to the ECU....
Just need a battery for the key fob now (Going to have a search to see what I need on here)...
I tried starting it without a battery in the fob and it dosent, so Im hoping that is the last piece of the...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Yeah emulator, If the UCH thing works (trying it shortly), itl get me running until it shows up in the next few days....
Then Il have to re-flash the ECU (full write) with RSTuner, which will virginise the ecu.....fit the emulator, then when I come to...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Ok, thanks to matteh for finding the PDF with all the immobiliser info in, and working out various things to try and get past my immobiliser just to get the car running again...
Dismantled a few things from the 172 interior loom before, split the UCH up...
