Does your passenger have it's own start button?

[alexcrosse 124]

passenger has a horn.

[Cameron 16]

That could get annoying.

[welshpug 1,661]

standard fare for rally cars, usually on the footrest so noobs usually stand on it getting in

[Cameron 16]

I'd stick it on the steering wheel, that way you can do the comedy face-down horn blaring death scenario when you eventually mash yourself into a tree.

[alexcrosse 124]

its not going to be much of a horn, probably wont even hear it...

[alexcrosse 124]

this may take some time

 

pffttttt

 

oh well.

[alexcrosse 124]

EXCITING UPDATE! - LIE! - urgghhh almost there, going to string up the wires to the plug tonight I hope, might be able to do a chassis check at the weekend, don't think I'll be able to do a check on the CAN systems until I get an MBE can-usb interface, but ill give it a go with the various CAN calibration hardware that I have from work.

 

 

Cheers, Al

Brands FTW.. Looking forward to seeing that beast in the flesh.

 

Loom looks proper buff too.. just need to pull your finger out and you'll be mapping in no time!

[calvinhorse 870]

Awesome are you running a timingbelt cover?

[alexcrosse 124]

Nope

[calvinhorse 870]

That wasn't a criticism,

I'm Struggling to find one to fit my engine so I'm running without! If you say it's cool it's good enough for me

[Sandy 191]

Hello, I spy a Johnny motor!

[matt.f 16]

Nice mk2

[alexcrosse 124]

Did quite well, especially for the first time out. Yep JRE engine on a drenth sequential. Due a rebuild on the motor, and needing a trip to track n road in my opinion. Seems like an engine dyno map. Lovely engine though, perfect for a rally car as it just sounds and feels so reliable. No problems all day other than a bit of fuel starvation, no swirl pot!

 

Now time to get this bloody peugeot done!

[Sandy 191]

I can see it's not a recent one, so not one mapped by me. Got a feeling it might be from one of the Jersey guys though? If he wants it to be true JRE, only one place to go!

[alexcrosse 124]

Yep he has been talking to john since buying the car, I think john has a log of all of his engines so knew full history and last rebuild etc, it will be going to JRE directly, bit stupid not to huh! he is quite reasonable with rebuild costs too.

 

Picked it up from the isle of wight.

 

haha that wasn't a comment about mapping quality! just an engine dyno map is never as good as a transient map for driveability

[Sandy 191]

Absolutely, which is why we always see them in the car if it's possible; sadly not always possible because they do go far and wide.

[alexcrosse 124]

Ok, switch box v.1.0 is done... ill try and test it this week, with any luck it will work. Took a fair amount of wire in the end, would have weighed a tonne if i hadnt got 100m of 16.5A raychem wire spare!

 

 

Cheers,

 

Al

[Cameron 16]

Used enough zip ties?

[alexcrosse 124]

I needed 2 more but they were holding your mums wrists together.
