Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

RE your solder repair... My option would be to try and trace where that track goes from that test point... if it runs to an IC then solder there as it will be a lot stronger.

How thick is the wire you soldered on?

Glue might be ok but then if it doesn't stick it ain't going to do anything... Plus you might run the risk of IF the glue came off youd pull the track and pad up.

Obviously im just speculating here as I cant physically see the track etc etc.. just trying to cover all your options.

On a side note if you cant get anyone to repair it send it to me and il do iit in a few mins and send it back to ya... offers there if you want it

Yeah......well the pad thing its onto seems like its part of the backing, and the tracks just join to it (its silver, not copper)...seemed to solder better to it...

There is nothing touching it, the board technically 'hovers' in the casing....the wire is taped and the emulator board is also taped, so its not going to move, it was just regarding vibration etc (shouldnt be an issue though i dont think)...

Il put some glue over it (UHU) maybe...

With regards to the thickness of the wire, its tiny....24AWG maybe, cant remember what was printed on it off the top of my head...

how does the speedo sensor work again??











repetitive thread is repetitive.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

Try some uhu stuff over it yeah. 24 AWG should be fine then.. what you want to do is make the connection/circuit onto that test point but minimize the amount of stress that the pad on the ecu board/wafer s**t takes.

The thicker the wire the more stress will be on that pad as there is more force to pull on.

Just pop some glue over it.. im sure if its tapped down as well as you say then it should be ok.

Im guessing you have all ready done this but lay the wire down flat against the PCB board (or paper as it seems to be! Lol) If so put the glue along the sides of the wire and over the top of it but dont go over the pad you soldered onto.

This will give you added "rigidity" (that sounds like a quagmire word!) along the wire. That way if something goes tits up you still have the solder making the joint. If it was covered over the joint and the wire and a big vibration came it would rip the glue and maybe the joint up as well if you follow me?? Im sure it will be ok but just thinking about future vibrations. If you think its solid enough then jobs a good un in that respect

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

well done for sorting it out! did you go out and drive it?

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

just drove it home......the difference is unreal!

 

[maynard]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

good good..glad it's gone well for you!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

So whats made the difference the rstuner map?

Not been following sorry.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

my 172 ECU had a 1.4 8v map on it...didnt realise until we tried to find out why the rev limiter was so low...

Ive only just managed to get it running on a 172 based map...

 

[ChrisPearson]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

ahh ok any reason why it had a 1.4 map?

 

[richy22]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

Be carefull!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

the place that removed the immobiliser from it for me flashed the wrong file back onto it we think.

soooo is the limiter at 7+k now or...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

awesome!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

7500

 

[richy22]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

out of curiosity foxy what is the exact map you have put on??

 

[jamie rigby]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

7500

u gonna take me for a spin tmoz then (please) lol...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

7500

be careful, 7.5k imho is a bit high for a standard engine, and no point either, my engine makes full power at 7.2k so a standard one probably about 6.5k

 

[jamie rigby]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

no doubt jord will hit the limiter in every gear now hes finally got the right limiter haha

Think its the group N one

Just read the last 10 pages. Hero.

Just in time for Sunday

There is no group n one...its just named that? And I mean what file in particular on the fastchip site...

u gonna take me for a spin tmoz then (please) lol...

depends if its rainin or not, ive just got drenched

be careful, 7.5k imho is a bit high for a standard engine, and no point either, my engine makes full power at 7.2k so a standard one probably about 6.5k

not had to hit the limiter yet....more than enough power below 7ish k

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

Ahh haa! keep forgetting that!

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

Quick blast, spins far to easily....i take it upto about 65ish jellybeans in 2nd, letting off the throttle half way through to try and stop it spinning, then on in 3rd and change into 4th and past 100 jellybeans....

Crap video but there you go :rasp:

This took place on my newly constructed jellybean private raceway.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

god damn it. The secrets you keep from us are just SOOOOO annoying.

Guess: You've bought a mizn JML screen wipe?

bit of a blast fromt he past post but i need something to demist my screen rather quickly, what is a mizn JML screen wipe and where can they be bought??...

awesome that means i dont have to trust you with my car whilst i'm away then

i feel a duel coming on!!!

Brilliant news! It looks rapid.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

cant wait to get home from work and see the vid!

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

got the proper camera charged, going to go and get some better ones later

 

[Guppy]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

LOL

Cant get you out of it now i bet

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

Ive hardly driven it, seats are soaking wet from the sunroof gotta fix it this morning!

take some of mine aswell , altho the clouds are coming over now, doesnt look good...
