Ive been reading about the adaptronic ECU. It doesn't say much about knock control, but you do have a headphone socket which you can plug in headphones to listen to knock with. It looks pretty awesome, it can do everything I need it to and because Ive got a HG turbo, I get it cheaper.

yeah plus it has the built in MAP, so you dont need to buy one seperatly like LINK..Its an awesome unit, HG uses one now too..

Shoot them a message at Adaptronic, U will get a quick reply :thumbsup: .

Probably the only downfall of the ADptronic is it runs wasted spark config for 6 cylinders, the Link has full sequential but I dont think it matters enough to warrant concern..

@ full price I would be tempted to go link but at HGs budget price its a winner..

Their website didn't really say anything about that. Doesn't matter anyway, I really doubt the wasted spark is going to half the life span of my coils. Its not like you run out of spark, its generally heat and age that kills them(I got brand new OEM coils).

Does that mean with this ECU, you can run 3 coils to run cylinders?

does anyone have or had anything to do with the 'Display Link'... bottom of page

http://www.linkecu.com/products/engine-management/Wire-In/g4wireinfolder/g4storm

Is it just a display or does it work like the PFC commander where you can tinker with settings?

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
