Matt, There there, you know we love you really.... Hey I didnt bother with that ecu as engineer reckons that we should be able to pass an aftermarket ecu, which I am stoked about., so thanks anyway
 
Krt10, I reckon Glenn is slack and he should definately hurry up
 
Glenn, Are you bringing us some parts back????

Yea I like that pic thats why I put it up, Hopefully a lot more of those types of pics this coming summer
Maybe we'll try and get together and go for regular cruises, just need few more boys to finish their toys.
 
On another note I decided to get the car fully engineered now, being a street car I want it to be 100% legal on the road.
I just started the process of engineering, I applied for all the mods on the car and  have received what is known in SA as Statement of requirements(SoR) stating itemised things the car has to comply/be tested for.
From here my engineer has to do relavant tests compile the report and I have to present the car for inspection to Regency to check that the car complies with set out requirements etc etc.
 
When I take the car to Regency they will also be doing full roadworthy.So far the only issues with the car were minor stuff such as speedo to be working and within 10% accurate, washers, vented battery box and some of the bolts needed to be upgraded to specific tensile grade. Overall engineer is very happy with the car.

Do you need to run the car through the IM240 emmissions test due to an aftermarket ECU?

Hi Paul,
Interestingly there is no mention of im240 at this stage, so far they only request mr853 vehicle emission test report.

Matt,

The full brake test and the lane change tests which are done together have now been postponed 3 times due to wet weather.

I am glad as I wasn't 100% happy with the brake bias as with both f&r .625 master cyls I was getting too much rear bias causing rears to lock first. Sure enough I tested bias at 55/45%.So this week I ended up getting a .7 master for the rears which will hopefully be enough to fix the bias so the rears don't lock before fronts.

Looking at that report I'm thinking that is the evidence of the actual IM240 emissions test.

Hey Mate,
 
Hope it works out for you.  How did you work out the bias percentages?
 
I was told to go for 0.625 front & 0.750 rears if that helps as I'm running the same brake set up as you.
 
Cheers

Matt

No not at all. Im 240 is a 240 second (hence the name) dyno drive cycle emissions test whereas MR853 is a static idle speed emissions test.
I have probably performed and signed off close to100 mr853's over the last few years. Mr853 only really picks up bad idle polutants such as badly tuned and cammed up engines. 
If the engine is tuned right there won't be problems passing im240. I have tuned cars that didnt run any closed loop O2 and have easily passed im240. There is a lot of tuning cowboys out there and the mentality is as long as its all good at WOT she'll be right. 
 
Cheers

Matt,
The bias was checked on a brake tester that calculates brake distribution  front to rear and also the difference between left and right on each axle.
 Regarding m/c sizes, I will report back on how it all turns out....
I dont think I will do brake test this week either as the weather is no good all week.
 
Cheers

Ah, OK - thanks for clarifying.
Speaking to the same Engineer you've been in contact with has indicated I require the IM240 maybe because I'm running aftermarket ECU and intake - you're running stock intake?

Cheers
