What's the news?

The ic7 will be firmware updated to allow 2-way CAN communication allowing additional inputs for the ECU. It will also be a master device now, so I believe it can act as a controller for the PDM. You can also customise logos etc.

Pretty much no need for an I/O expanded if you have a dash.

Also, there may be a new Haltech dash coming in the future, I hope they update the housing lol.

That's the only reason why I didn't buy an IC-7, I know it's silly, sure it's ugly but the car itself is pretty ugly too LOL.

Yeah, I think they are bringing out a bigger display. I think a 10”??

the ability to programme the buttons on the display is pretty good too.

One can hope, if not I'll just get an IC-7 and stop sooking.

Loaded up the latest firmware, oh wow... went for a drive and it's like I've setup Alpha-N and MAP compensation. I thought the transient table I built was good, but wow... this just brought it to another level.

@R3N3 this is how I make the car brap lol.. sounds better than rotational idle

Nice little timing hole lol

And for the idle control you want it to not much between -50 ~ -100 RPM

Awesome! I will compare the sound. I ended up dialling in the launch and rotational idle 100% many bangs and flames were had. Although I’m a little worried about my stock oil pump gears…

Didn't you want to build a new motor? LOL.

Haha, true! The plan is to switch out a working motor with another working and better motor…

Last time @admS15 used his launch control, he lost a turbine LOL.

As much as you like to complain about it, your car is a looker! Is this photo with new tints? Which ones did you end up going with?

It's on my list of things to do, though not at the top. Being able to see nothing at all out of the windows when it's dark and wet outside gets old very quickly.

I work in IT, complaining is a prerequisite LOL.

I went with a legal 35% tint, it's some ceramic bullshit (apparently good?). Got it done by Tint a Car in Moorebank.

Haha, fair enough. Yeah ceramic is meant to be better with keeping off heat. Or so I learned doing all of five minutes of research.

But for some reason the extra photos you included in your post that show the new tint don't load.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
