[br]It's all coming together nicely for you!

I really like those rims, they look great, well done! I want a set of those for my own RS2000, great choice!

Looking forward to more photos as this progresses!

cheers um booked it is now going in tommorra!!![:u] finishing up tonight and am bookin a truck to take her away late tommorra arvo......so it is basically in the dyno shops hands now[:I] just got to chuck on the excelerator cable tonight as well

cheers
rhys

you get the megasquirt ecu going?

or what are you doing there? i'd make sure it runs a bit incase something else goes wrong before you take it there

ditto..

or are they doing the wiring? If they are how much are they charging for the job, i'd imagine quite a bit since they have to make a lot of the loom up? Make sure (if they are) you take pleanty of wiring diagrams, pleanty of info about how to wire in the dizzy for ignition control and take the correct megatune version in on a disc (or laptop). Also be sure you have the correct firmware and all correct jumpers in place on the board (with V3 there are a lot of different jumper options!). I doubt they'll be familure with megasquirt which could work against you if they hit something they don't know how to do. Have you got a plug (and the correct bias resistors) for the dizzy?

need to check you also have the right resistors in for the right sensors, ie mat, water temp etc or will give the ecu wrong signals and it wont go.

i know for the sierra water temp sensor you will have to change the resistor. or the car wil think its 4degree celcius all the time.

event he small things wiht efi will make bit impact if wrong, what have you got for ISCV? narrow or wide lambda? full variable tps? all come into play when tuning.

i hope you've got a lambda installed before you put the extractors in

yeh guys i am paying them to do all the wiring and sensors, figured may aswell geta pro to do it, im far from!

yeh it is costing a bit but, i would rather them do it and get it right than me do it and f@#k up....

you have me scared tho........what is a lambda????[:u][:u][:(!][xo]

i am also giving them a copy of the disk and all the info i have and explaining a few things to them to make sure there is no mistakes.....

cheers

Lambda = oxygen sensor you don't need one but really why wouldn't you as it is a must for home tuning (warmup etc) and it is a good indicator if something goes wrong as well as increacing economy.

Grant is spot on about changing the resistors too, didn't occur to me as i used GM sensors instead. The other option is to use easytherm to calibrate them, but i have no experience with it.

Make sure you include this schematic for wiring the dizzy, i'd assume you haven't tested the dizzy so don't know which one to use;

Also make sure they know how to configer megatune for MSnS.. it is simple but not 100% obvious, it will just appear that your ms doesn't work if you get it wrong.

I'll be interested to see how they get on with it..

is a dyno tuner going to know what ohm resister to use??
he will then have to find where it goes on the ecu and solider it on.
after he finds one from an electronics shop, not the sort of things people have lying around. and hope he doesnt break the 3 fuel pump fets off the board in the process.

remember he is going to have to read the same stuff as you would to do this, so why not learn yourself and not pay for it.
a bit of time you can do all this yourself and know its done right.

i have a feeling that with no o2 sensor you need a different type of code that guesses the reading by working out tps vs map readings.

im sure they will run a lambda at the tailpipe so that wont get your spot on readings if you allow for holes in exhaust joints.


are you running a megasquirt relay box??? is going to be a whole lot of spaghetti cabling and relays if you didnt. [:u] actually i'd hate to think as there is relays to control fuel pumps only etc.

now i follow, yeh i am having them set up the o2censor........

i have been talkin to em ongoing about it, and am suplying them with all the information possible! thanks for the map andrew, i havent seen that excact one.....

i would do it myslef but time is a real issue, this is a daily driver and i dont want nor can fit another car in the driveway to use during this project.... also i have a cruise coming up along with all ford sunday etc so need to get the car back on the road..... plus i saved up the money to do this, this way so may aswell spend it, only live once right[;^)][88]

well it will be interesting to see how they go, rhys (2ltscort) just had his car in there and i have spoken to danny M and he knows one of the guys in there so he will be able to help a little but more so we will see..........really hope they dont f@#k it up tho!haha

3pm tommorra is the pick up time....

slight problem they are going to have to deal with is the fact that my manifold didnt come with the adapter/conector thingy that the maniflod end of the accelerator cable. so were going to have to come up with some other way???any ideas???

cheers
rhys

well good luck [:u].

throttle is last of the problems, they can stand there and twist it with hand. all the other bits are the problem.

no o2 sensor isn't a problem, megasquirt only uses it when its not under load for cruising economy (open or closed loop, i forget which). If the engine is under load it uses the values straight from the tables. You can just disable o2 correction. as you say having it anywhere except the extractor base leaves you open to leaks.

Keep us posted with how they get on rhys
