I ended up taking Dudeman’s advice and messaged Robk, he was very helpful and it’s is all sorted out now!!

Rob has built and designed some pretty impressive things for his car, nice helpful bloke as well.

Couldn’t get the booster to work wired up the way it was shown on the site so I ended up simply connecting the solid black wire from the igniter to the tacho wire coming out of the ecu, then tee’ing a wire off that into one side of the booster coil and just running switched 12V into the other side, extremely simple fix in the end :)

What was the fix?
(My current build is going COP) hence why I ask :) and have not done before

Did you message David (seller) for further info as to how to sort it out - his another Mr2 enthusiast / vast know-how :)

I can't help with your problem... but you have done a tidy build! Looks great.

Thanks tony, got that part delivered today, all wired up and showing correct voltage but still a no go, I think I need to run a wire direct from cluster to the voltage booster. Does anyone know the correct wire pin for the tacho that plugs into the cluster?? It is a aus 97 Bathurst! Tia

Car is going great only issue is since doing the coil on plug conversion my tachometer obviously doesn’t work... I connected the two wires together and assigned it properly in the ecu but after some research it appears I need to setup some kind of resistor, I was thinking about going to a race pack dash but I would like to get the standard tacho up and running in the mean time. Has anyone on here had any experience setting up something like this! Any help appreciated!!

RobK could be your man for some advice here, he's a pretty knowledgeable wire bender.

Flick him a pm if he doesn't see this question.

Tim - your turbo and results are great - builds are individual

Obviously in 4th or 5th gear at 60kms/ph your engine won’t have much get up and go in comparison to a v6, but that’s what a lower gear is for :) The power mid to high rpm looks huge. Enjoy the driving :)

Excellent experience! Very knowledgeable and an all around good bloke, car drives fantastic, have full faith leaving my car there un-like previous tuners I have had! Lol

I thought about going to Trent to get a tune! How was the experience? If you don't mind sharing?

Here is the dyno graph (All the 240ish kw runs are from a last time I got it tuned on a basic setup)
It obviously has a little more lag than most people would prefer.. but I’m a scum bag and don’t mind it, and due to the rest of the set up it honestly is very responsive when driving it on the road.
We had to leave it on low boost as my fuel pump started to drop pressure over 310rwkw, next step twin pump setup and more power!
As for cams I they’re 272’s i’ll Post up the spec sheet when I have it on me next
