Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project good effort! :cool:

mine was 6000cold/6500warm idle was very unstable too... my exhaust was constantly black from overfueling

:approve:

foxy is on the money I just thought I should clarify something though: say you had a mk1 (or any car without the uch to send the imobiliser signal). If you were to just buy a 100% stock 172 ecu, you wouldn't be able to connect RSTuner and 'flash' it to virginise it because the imobiliser would...

uber small update :P have finally ditched the mk1 temperature sender. I'm now using the mk2 sensor for the dash gauge and the ecu now controls the light. I've also wired the mk2 'malfunction indicator lamp' up to the mk1 dash... hope it never comes on, but nice to have anyway! it's manually...

Got an update for you with regards to the coolant temp sensor...
