Just from my experience with motocycles in traffic... because the flywheel is pretty much nonexistance there's not much rotational inertia to keep the engine ticking over at idling revs when you put some load on it. At the moment I can crawl in traffic in 3rd gear doing 25km/h with my foot off...

Cool - good to know.

I've got short 4mm ID tubes going from each intake to a central 8mm ID tube which has a vac line going to the MAP sensor. Vac seems to be reading steadily with this setup but I haven't had much time lately to get my teeth into the tuning. Like any kind of mod it's taking way longer than...

How would something like that be in traffic with a manual gearbox? Would you have to ride the clutch and keep the revs up?

I've still got a few ideas to work through so I'm a fair way from giving up yet : )

I'm currently using a map sensor but it's being a bit of a pig so just looking at what other options are around. Thanks Weasy.

Yep - wish I had a photo here but I'm at work.

Maybe you have a different CD stacker but when I pulled mine out and put it on the scales it said 12kg. Edit: The Soarer stacker has the amp underneath it as part of the same unit which accounts for the weight.

I have one of Harry Lemmen's ECU's but yes, he isn't well and he hasn't completed the tuning software yet so as it stands mine has a selectable rev limit (stock, 7500RPM, 8000RPM) and no speed cut. He's a perfectionist so even though he's nearly completed the tuning software he said "it's still...

120lb sounds too high - that's how much a skinny kid would weigh and the seat doesn't weight that much. You can easily lift it out.

Can you tune using TPS as the load input with one of these? Just thinking about tuning ITB's.

That's a nice looking front bar. Here are the weights of things from my V8 Soarer - all in KG sorry but you'll be able to look up a conversion thingo. Stock bonnet - 27kg CF bonnet (no fibreglass) - 9kg Passenger electric seat - 30kg Driver's electric seat - 35kg (has motor for lumbar...

Looks very neat - good work!

The Main ECU is under a plastic cover at the firewall under the passenger's feet. It helps if you remove the cover under the glovebox where the air-con filter is so you can pull the carpet back to see the black plastic ECU cover which goes the width of the footwell. There are 2 x 10mm nuts...

Cool mate - if you're happy that's all that matters : )

That's a shame you've hit troubles Jibby - unfortunately it's always the way with doing something new. Whether you have electric fans or the hydraulic fan, the power to run them still has to come from the engine and way back when engine fans always ran at engine speed electric fans were great at...

I started down that route but I'd need much bigger tubing than the 4mm ID to get enough vacuum in the vac manifold. Also, as soon as the IACV opens the vac pretty much disappears. You also need a big tank to stabilise the vac with all those things connected and some guys I've spoken to needed a...

Good work with the T70 Oz. If anyone is interested, here's how a dyno operates which measures torque via a load cell & lever arm. This particular one is for an engine dyno but the same principles apply to a chassis dyno. http://www.torqueworks.com/inertia_page2.html
