this is why standalone ECUs are a good idea

That's exactly the car i want

that's the dogbone mount. honestly, buy a new one

the 2 cars i've fitted 120mm trumpets on have had the slam panel removed, and bonnet pins fitted. I also trimmed the plastic part of the grille down flush with the top of the "waffle" section. this is the only pic i can find, and it's without the bumper and filter

it's viable to modify a void bush with sikaflex. you need to leave it a week to set though. Buy a new one

yes, they're the same

it's lovely up there. Great shots too :)

LOL hard at fighting over which tipsy frenchman built your car :rasp:

Depends how good they are ;) cant remember the last one that took me more than 5 hours

no, they're quite different

wont always have a fault that registers, but you can see odd numbers in live data if you know what it should be doing

not aimed at you ;) :) a lot of "advice" from those who have never, and will never do anything like this themselves, but enjoy attempting to trample on the work of others.

except for where the throttle plates are, ie very close to the valves, which is what gives the big respose inprovement. And the airbox has been designed with internal baffles rather than just being a plenum

he's not :S he's just bought it

he cut and paste from the for sale thread to put it on here ;)

Exactly what i was saying to Andy the other day. Really pleased TBH

you'd think effort and thought had been put in instead of telling everyone you're great wouldn't you

needs checking on diagnostics, but i've seen big hesitations like that when the lambda sensor is faulty

depends on the strategy used

you can use a cup box, you just wont utilise the speed sensor as it's taken off the ABS. You can't do it the other way round easily

basically its slightly lean until a certain rev/load point, then it gets the fuel it needs to make power. Similar strategy has been used by aftermarket chip companies for years to make the car "feel" faster

It's down to EURO4 emissions restrictions. They come alive where they're allowed the fuel they want rather than being held back by closed loop and a lack of acceleration fueling. Ph1 172s are better as the regs are slightly less strict (EURO3), 197 is worse (EURO5) the regs are more complicated...

Best is VERY subjective, and there's multiple justifications in each direction. Tuners use what they get on with the best and know the intricacies of. Some will choose the most basic ECU so they dont have to look at as many parameters, some will sell the most expensive and have very little idea...

you ever think to read what has been said rather than be destructive? Picture still shows total induction length to be about half what is necessary. Try it yourself. Oh no wait.....

the disk is not threaded, only the hub. Pretty simple to remove a broken wheel bolt once the disk is off. you should be able to grip the end of the thread behind the hub

LOL!!!!! Omex use Jenvey bodies in a fully developed kit with an ECU and all brackets, that's also sold by K-tec. 01242 260656 and speak to Al at Omex

drill it with a 8mm drill-bit. until the head comes off, remove the disk, then unwind what's left with some pliers

Nissan 200sx 1.8 turbo engine....tweaked ;)

Looks fun, saw one at Stoneleigh. I'm building a 350bhp Raw striker

mtech is just megasquirt in productionised form IIRC. What kit-car have you ordered?
