jesus !
not wanting to get into slagging off any companies involved here, but what is the problem ? is it still to do with ignition time pulses / firing times ? & driving an MSD etc etc ???

shame about pulling out

Steve

 

Ecu was supplied by Mark Shead at MADevelopments.. and he has been nothing but helpfull..

MSD was supplied by Mark @ Lateral and he has been nothing but useless...

Autronic claim the SM2 will drive the MSD, which it is doing..

Im thinking about running an optical crank pickup now.

its not fuel related.. as you can hear it poping in the exhaust..

David

 

If it wasn't for the link and The guru's help and advise...

I would of gone for one of these

http://www.dtafast.co.uk/

Andy

 

I didnt get one of them due to the crank and cam pickup requiring work..

Also I think I got more features with mine and a price cheaper than most..

David

 

was two options for the cam and crank sensor if I recall
vr or hall effect ?

obviously no good for either then


Andy

 

so its basicly getting the crank (/cam ?) signals to be recognised but the autronics!
humm .. so is it just spec variance that is causing it to miss timing etc etc ?
it's not exactly gota run 'that' fast to do that timing has it !

Steve

 

no, I think its more the interface that converts the signal to sq wave could be picking up interference..

David

 

 

Fed up of this f ucking car now..

Misfires all over the place..

Well and truly pissed off..

I built the car for totb.. due to circumstances beyond my control.. I didnt have time to get it done properly..

Now Ive run out of time for scoobyshootout.

Whats the f cuking point.. its not like its a road car anymore.. but getting to drive it would be nice.. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Anybody want to p/x a std engine and ecu for mine + cash

Yes that was mine + cash..

thats correct im that fed up of it, ill pay you to take it away.

No way Dave you can't do that, its just your emotions talking. Remember what the boost felt like? Yep, 3 smiling faces going down York road that night eh. . .

Get the TAPOMETER for the fine tuning.

 

And I can supply 3 free gearboxes to go with it

 

Dave & Andy
O.K. hope this cheers you up a bit. .

 

As you once said to me David.. Now you sound like a fooking girl...



I am sure it is depressing not having it running, but it is not far off a flippin' monster..

So you'll be ready in plenty of time for TOTB3..

Once you have had a break from it and then some success again, I say again as everything with the car was going really well before,
you can make it a road car and a weekend racer.. different maps, or boost settings etc..

A week after you have sold the engine or the car, once you have done a few things that you did n't have time for because you have been in that garage all the time you'll be as bored as sin and missing the car you current are annoyed with.

Take it easy

Simon

 

Cool gauge need to steal that for another thread ...ta !!

 

jolly green monster is right every time you hear a scoob going by you will think **** it wish i had my real engine

 

you have tasted the fruits of your labour David, don't let it beat you!

I am feeling in a similar mood at the mo, as I was all set in my mind that it would be finished this weekend and I could just go out and enjoy it,
I did enjoy it last night, a little pain having to feather the thottle to keep the boost in check as the clutch let go... but IT IS getting there...
I was in the garage this morning and I must of just looked at it for twenty odd minutes, I really can't be arsed with it either.


BUT IT HAS TO BE DONE. other wise I'll have just wasted circa 7-8k
thought i'd delay the inevitable by tidying the garage first.
well I got the starter off and come in for lunch now.

Andy

 

David ,
I've just watched totb2 on sky sports extra and i didn't see your car on there , did you keep out of the camera's way or was it their bad editing that kept your beast off of the screen,
i was eagerly sitting there waiting to see and here it run but no footage,
Matt.

 

Maybe they were just showing the fast cars

ANDY.F ,
That's a bit harsh , i only saw one impreza on there , they should have renamed it "The skyline and evo show " ,dont get me wrong there were some top motors on there just not enough scooby's
Matt

 

Thats cos the Skylines & Evo's won everything

Come on David - you sound like me!!!!!

I wanted to run against you at TOTB next year

 

webster,

its not harsh.. its true..

My car was / is pathetic given what Ive spent.

David

 

David ,
You have all but completed a mamouth task and your on the home straight now it's always the little niggley bits that wind people up and make them loose interest but in the end it will be worth it

Matt.

 

Agree with webster.

Keep at it David. You have done so much and known throughout the scooby community.

Dont let it **** you off

 

Webster and Money are talking sense...



Simon

 

David, you know I'm just teasing

 

I had missfires for about 2 years, even still do at times. It is going a lot better, and I am still trying. Still havent figured out what or why. My engine is in bits again, trying to make the damn thing go a bit faster. Trying yet another camshaft.

Dont give up David. You know it will be worth it eventually.

 

Come on Wallis, this don't sound like you.

Its not like the student(me) beat the masters(you) time or anything . . .:P

 

A few nights down the pub to calm you down and then you'll want to get your hands dirty again. i had a month or two off getting p*ssed instead and now i just want to get mine back on the road !!

 

andi..



Right..

I feel a plan coming on..

I wont be running at well lane due to having a little break first.

David

 

I'll mail you some inlet pics if that still ok later?
