Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project [Year 3 - Engine and Chassis Rebuild]
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Any joy?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Also.........
New emulator just turned up in the post. Fitted it to my ECU to replace the other, fired up first time! So that explains it. Just one dodgy emulator caused all this, god knows how it went though!
Least I can hopefully use my own ECU for oulton now, raised limiter ftw

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
slightly worrying... if you pop it in the post I can have a look, or have you retured it to the supplier in disgust?
glad to hear that you're up and running though

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
PM me your address and il send it over, see what you can make of it!
I spoke to the supplier on the phone (he acctually produces them himself)...he said he doesnt know how its gone wrong, as its a read only chip that transmits 'OK' out to the ECU as long as its decoded/virginised...
Cant get my money back either as they only have a 3 month warranty ffs!

Good stuff, glad I could help, even if it was for half a day!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
PM sent. I have mine here, so I should be able to compare to see what's broken. I'm surprised the guy who made it didn't want to look at it, I would if I'd made it.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
ah i guess that's not too bad then considering, but 3 months warranty is a bit pants!
I had to pay for it yeah, another £36. I suppose its better than £75+VAT for a decode just to virginise another ECU though. Warranty is only 3 months on them as far as I can see, ive had it since the start of May

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Sort of, has a couple of PIC chips and some other gubbins (im guessing some type of circuit protection). The board isnt even an inch x an inch, its tiny. It just outputs an 'OK' code to the ECU, but the ECU has to be decoded/virginised for it to recognize the 'OK' code that the emulator is outputting...once it does, it will allow the car to start

single PIC, 5V supply, and clock. Simple hardware, squirts out a serial data stream. I powered mine up today and captured the data on a scope.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Data, I *think* it's 0000 0100 0011 0001 1100 1011 it's coming out very slow though, something like 75bps, repeated every ~0.4sec
this is just the bare emulator, so there may be more chatting going on when the ECU is connected. I doubt it though, it's probably just the unique code that would come out of a key/car combo that a virginised ECU gets to recognise the first time it gets switched on.

and me and whiteley too, shame about the white mk1 tho
a slippery Oulton Park survived on Friday 13th with no issues, must be doing something right
and me and whiteley too

Glad you all survived the day, What happened to the white mk1?
