Bosch HEC-716. I have been using them for about 7 years. I went to get some new ones for the first time last year and the design has changed, not even close to how they were. The pic is of the new rail. The plug leads are cut down to suit, so don't think you can just buy them off the shelf. I want to remake it and should beable to get someone like QLD Ign leads to make me a set. That is if they are long enough to fit their machine.

This is the old style HEC-716 wher I had an even shorter plug lead. While it was compact and neat it was a royal pain to swap a set of pulgs in a hurry between rounds. Disreguard the 3L sticker, stiring the pot for some scrutineers hahahaha.

Work and life have been getting in the way of being able to spend much time in the shed. Easter has been tagged as car time!!!! Yesterday I stripped back as much as i could out of the engine bay and got stuck into seam welding. I've done this a few times now and find it to be very beneficial if you are going to be doing much track work. Seam sealer is a pain because no matter how I try it is always still down in the join, messing up the first little bit of every weld. Bang some heat in, give it a mo, and plough on. I re-seam sealed it all up so the will be no rust concern in 10 years time. By the time I had given it all a rub over with surface prep, prepsol and had the basic masking done, the sun had gone down and taken the light for my spray boot with it.

Back in the shed I wanted to make sure the Fglass guards ,which have been copied off my my race 33, fit up properly. Some little fixups needed.

Painted this morning, primer on any exposed bits first, then satin black. Now, before anyone says, "Should have primed it all rar rar rar" Its a srteet car that will get flogged with regular and absolute gay abandon on tracks. ITS NOT A SHOW PRINCESS.

Just waiting now for some help to push it back in the shed.... when the paint has set a little more though. Want to get the guards and bumper painted to day as well. Tomorrow I should be able to get the motor box and exhaust back in and stone guard the inner of the front guard area. Monday get the bodywork fitted and anything else that has popped up. I've got tues and wed off and planing to take it to a mates panel shop to roll and flare the rear arches. I don't have cool enough toys for that... Yet.

Its definitely an area that I'll be looking at when I rebuild Gentle's front end but that will not be for a few months yet, deff have some ideas to run through. Need to focus on this beast first.

Sat arvo Sara the fantastic spray painting and panel beating champion girlfriend of mine who I love, got the spray putty on and left it to harden overnight. Had to hang it some where.

and today She put the black GLOSS on. I love her sooooooo much!!!! Thank you.

For the record, my painting is not very good. On the result of my first attempt I was told that the finish looked like I had painted it at the beach on a windy day. Not from Sara I must add, she has more tact than that.

It is soooooo close to going for RWC. first I need to pump the rear guards so I going to a mates panel shop tomorrow and wed for some guided hammer wielding!

the motor n box went in today and got everything in the engine bay pretty much completed. The new turbo sits back about 20mm and has made some issues for the piping. Still need to get the fuel system in the boot sorted, that will happen over the next week or so...... I betting on so. The guards and bumper are on properly too now, that took longer that I expected. Looks good though me thinks. a long easter weekend well spent.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
