got simular figures when mine was mapped but it does drive a hell of alot better,not really had time to get it back for another session but am working on it,change of cams and a homemade inlet manifold and fuel pump,its been sat in the garage for 12 months while I fix everbody else`s cars should be back out end of the month with a bit of luck

 

sounds wicked m8

neil.

 

Cheers for all the support throughout.

Drove it today, and it felt alot better. but needs to go back to map the ecu for cold starts. (it feels like its never ending)

Will tidy up some of the wiring, and make it look presentable for Stoner Park. Will put some more pick up then.

how hard was the ecu to wire up

 

The ecu was easy peeeeeeasy

+12v
0V

12v Switched - From Coil
Rev counter - Coil

Then then other wired connected to the injectors, coil pack, isv, crank sensor, water temp.

Fuel pump.

All these where fine, and didnt take too long to connect up.

 

You can't compare the two different rollers Jim, as you well know, as long as it's more responsive with the ITBs, that's all that matters. You've gained something.

It doesn't 'seem' though like for like, that ITBs actually gain peak power over K-Jet with the same basic engine configuration.

Vids just dl'd - sounds good!

 

Great job mate.
Sounds fantastic.
Must be so temping just to open the windows and go for a blast down the lanes in the middle of the night

I have just got all the bits to do my build, and I am just as excited as you were at the start of your thread.
I take it, it has been a tough job to do yourself?

I see Northampton Motor Sport had some kit cars in the yard, do you know if they have any experiance with megasquirt ecus?
Or do you have there contact details?

Did the short air horns restric the build at all?
I am also limitted to space so have gone for smaller ones also.

Quick word on the RR issue.
We had a Club day at Stelth, and everyone was well over.
My 1.0 had been badley every after the fire, I had cheap Tesco fuel in, but somehow I ended up with 6bhp over the 50hp the car should have.
A standard Loop GTi nearly had 140hp.
