Wasted spark is usually fine. Lets do the math for it, I enjoy maths anyway (wtf)? At 8000rpm you have 15ms per 2 rotations (4 stroke) so you have 7.5ms to charge, discharge and rest a wasted spark s

I used to run of these... its not aimed at just 4 cylinders... my vehicle was the car Andy tested the plug and play board on for the 33's..... Never a drama, had a problem with the installation which ended up frying the ecu (unshielded wiring behind the gate melted). Since it was a dealer that did it a new ecu was available that very afternoon... just called said what had a happened.. went and got the new one and handed over the dead one.

Unfortunately as this was a couple of years ago it wasn't quite up to speed in terms of map points....the new computer due for release looks the goods though :D

Highly underated... my old ecu is now powering a 25/30 in an R31 quite happily ....

few reasons, but they are a very simple budget ECU that gives competant results (tuned them on 4age's and turbo hondas)

i would seriously wait for a full 6 channel IGN and INJ model before fitting it to any of my customers cars.. till then it will remain the 4cyl base ecu.

I, and many others have ZERO issues running wasted injection and wasted spark. Including the 1UZFE boys.

I guess that would depend on the maximum RPM you intended to use vs the dwell time required by your ignition system...

it comes down to how many comprimises you want to make....... especially on a v8 1UZFE... dont get me wrong i have a killer big cammed AE86 here now with one im installing and tuning (if in vic feel free t drop past). i will post up the results in the next day or so.

Trent, if I am ever in Victoria, I'm definitely going to swing past to check out your setup, I hear a lot of good things, and would like to have a look-see and say Hi sometime, unfortunately though, I'm from Wollongong (Just south of Sydney)

I'm also planning to wait until Andy and the boys finish the new ECU, and I plan to upgrade to it also.

Interestingly without an Air temp modifier, the change in air density from 20 deg to 80 deg C is 20.5 % which if uncorrected would result in a 12:1 AFR (20 deg) going to 9.96:1 (80 deg) or if it was tuned with an air temp of 80 deg at 12:1, then you would have a 20 deg AFR of 14.46 !!

Adaptronics are quite unreliable, lots of great options but lots of dodgy drivers etc. That pulse racing at menai raves about them but apparently all their computers have been replaced at least once...

That's an incredibly general statement and I very much doubt it is backed up by anything resembling a fact.

i've had mine for over 2½ years never had a problem with it, and i know a handful of people who have had them longer who havent had any issues

i've had a few with connector issues, they use the cheapest damn conectors for the main power and earth circuits its embarrassing. Other than that they are a capable low end budget ECU, i certainly would not run a big dollar engine off one though.

Yes I had a connector issue unplugging and reseating fixed it but.

just what you want on a big build.... an ECU cutting in and out at 7000rpm......

Honestley if the swapped to another connector type i would use more on 4 cylinders, if they upgraded again to 8 drivers then i would use more again.

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.

      Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds

      Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.

      Wheel refurb?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?

      Don't get all high and mighty. Experienced spanner wielders know exactly what effort is required to release an Oof.
