My dirty little secret...

[Dan@SJM]

Once i have sorted all the niggly bits I will be offering this conversion.

how much will you charge?

You will be looking at approxtimatly £750 labour, If the everything is supplied, however all parts can be sourced.

 

[clarkiev6]

172's are a sore subject...lol

 

[Dan@SJM]

Too right, shes not even replying to me now lol

 

[clarkiev6]

no worries mate...:lolup:

 

[Dan@SJM]

Well ECU turned up

But, it doesnt work. Paul had said I may need to get an emulator, more f**king money that i just dont have!

 

[midge]

why do you need an emulator?

 

[Dan@SJM]

According to paul the sirus 32 ecu is a pain, and sometimes will work with just a decode, other times it'll need an emulator.

 

[manicmonkey]

does he not have a spare ecu lyin around he can try?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Right, well it looks like the immobiliser is still working but is working fine. as the RED led, is working as it should and doing all the stuff it would normally if the immobiliser was dis arming etc.

 

[stevo172-RWD]

looks like it gonna be ready for airfield meet 4november then dan

 

[Phoenix]

oooo....how much has it cost you in parts?

 

[Dan@SJM]

i originally had all the parts from the car i crashed.

 

[wayneclio16v]

did u say u were tryin to keep the imobiliser ring the wire is pin 68 and is 0.5 gauge brown wire if its manual throttle sound like u goin hard route with wiring though but ur nearly there good look

 

[Dan@SJM]

Nah i didnt want to keep it, but got it decoded, then found i would need a emulator, so wiried in the uch and decoder etc, then found that the decode did work, but the ecu is goosed somewhere.

FFS.

So, standalone managment it is. but its going to be a while before the car is ready. as im doing ALOT more to it now.

 

[Christopher]

unlucky chap, at least it's going to be better in the end

 

[Dan@SJM]

Ive got the standalon sitting here, but no lead to map it with...

 

[Beaniemoo]

Glad you got to the bottom of the problem you had me worried mine was gonna give me the run around. You say your now doing lots more to the car sounds like your project is getting as out of hand as mine lol. Never really end builds like this do they:dapprove:

 

[wayneclio16v]

just battle on and speak to ur bank manager lol the bloke who done my ecu was realy helpful and not that exspensive chris at total tuning 07722288844 what ecu r u runnin on it

 

[Dan@SJM]

Im going to be running a Lumenition C460, i finished the loom on the ecu side earluier, just need to go and install it tomorrow, and then order the leads to try and map the damned thing.

 

[wayneclio16v]

what ur comms lead ah well shame about the standard ecu least ul see some more power out off it now should make it worth while

 

[Dan@SJM]

Well long time since updating this, ive sourced a new loom and ecu thanks joshydee!! just awaiting for him to pull it out for me, so it will be running 172 managment afterall!!

weyhey!!

 

[Will16Valver]

im impressed bud, sounds like alot of ball ache tho.
glad u got 2 the bottom of it like
so when u say ur doin alot more 2 it, what else u got planned?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Bodies, cams, will be looking at about 230bhp. and its still ging to be less weight im hoping to get it to 780kg, and 230bhp

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 230
Weight without Driver (KG) : 780
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 299.61
0 - 60 (Secs) : 4.58
0 - 100 (Secs) : 10.996
0 - 100 (Secs) : 6.42
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.95
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 108.50
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.75
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 110.54

 

[Graham Gooch]

get it finished son lol.

 

[Mr.AdamB]

good luck getting 780kg.. mine is strippd to f**k and its 850ish lowest i think i can et it is about 820 and thats with polycarbs, and lightermanifold as well as everything else ( lighter battery, bonnet, no sunfroof, etc) to get it under that i think ull need fibreglass doors and tailgate if u not runnign a cage u cant rly cut it about to save weight. mission!! lookign good tho.

 

[Dan@SJM]

Im cutting out internal panels, plus the 172 lump is a damned sight lighter than the f7p so its alot better like that, im not running pas, my buckets weight 4.5kg each, no aux tank, no spare, no slam panel, i'll be getting a fibre glass bonnet, and poly carbs are on they're way.

 

[Ads_172]

My God you're going to kill someone Dan.... bring it to the Airfield!

 

[Dan@SJM]

most likely myself lol!

it'll be at the airfield providing it doesnt break a clutch or gearbox or something lol.

 

[MarkCup]

Nice one Dan - I'm having a ride in that!

 

[Dan@SJM]

well guess i best update this...

new loom is in, pmurray is hopefully getting the ecu sent out to me today, need to go and finish certain parts, like get the reversing lights wired up and wire in a new relay for the fan...

 

[Gray]

This will be an absooooolute animal once finished

Hope the ECU works this time buddy!

 

[Christopher]

monster

definitely get some vids up for us non s/w folks!

 

[Dan@SJM]

Will deffo get some vids up, most likly at the airfield... and i'll try and mount a video for streetwars.

 

[Nafoff]

keep it up dan........

 

[Dan@SJM]

Shes cranking again, fuel pump priming, fan wired up on a switch, reverse lights wired up, i think ive found the rev counter and the coolant temp sensor...

well heres some low quality teaser pics.

the mess of wires!

and just the engine bay:

 

[Christopher]

awesome

hurry up!
