still trying to figure out where to put a 10" screen... looks like I'll end up making a fibreglass centrepiece for it to fit under, above my double DINs... thank god for fibreglass...

strutto - wat brand are ur monitors?

wats the picture quality like?

The brand is Super... The box has a big "Using SHARP technology" slogan to fool unwary customers :D I have seen better quality screens for sale elsewhere but they are over double what I paid for 2...

The picture quality is fine. Not Loewe TV quality, thats for sure... But good enough for a car...

HTH

That's the model that uses the recycled sharp LCD panels. So yeah, it is actually Sharp the controller is made in house at the manufacturing plant in China, and the controller chip comes from Taiwan, from a company called MCE Microelectrics. :D

MJ,

I've got three young boys so it's mainly to keep them entertained on long drives... Shrek, Monsters Inc, Willy Wonka, The Emperors New Groove, Repeat :D

We drove to Sydney recently and it was excellent on the way... We hired out about 6 DVD's and it really helped to pass the time... We do quite abit of travelling as the nearest relos are about 4 hrs away.

But wank factor 110% for sure! Only reason I did it in the first place was cause a mate has a V8 Soarer with a dash screen that he got working with a DVD player... Then he got a roof mount as well! The effect on his kids was astounding... And I couldn't let him outdo me :D

But day to day - we don't even turn it on... When we're travelling - it's worth it's weight in gold considering what it cost me. :(

I know cos I was looking into importing em in quantity to sell here, coz shops like autobarn n other retailers put a 200% markup on the units. So I was contacting most manufacturers in China n Taiwan about their stuff.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
