Great to hear! :-)sim wrote:The car has driven an indicated 1984km since I installed the

the Snot Rocket has put at least two thousand kilometers on its
FreeEMS rig since installation.
ROFL!!! Nice work. The worst it'll do is shatter a weld on the exhaust or shake it loose. Unless you had a carby turbo, then it would insta-spool and maybe snap the shaft too :-)The resulting report brought a few of my neighbours to their front doors.
<3The excellent logging was a major factor in the diagnosis.
Though I feel it likely wasn't necessary, I appreciate you making this explicit, thank you!I'm very pleased to have a running car again, and I have no one
to blame but myself.
Good side effect! :-)A side effect of all this crap is I made an effort to mount my
board securely in the Tupperware container I have been using. Now
the board and all the outgoing cables are attached to the deck,
and there is no strain on the board solder connections.
LOL, I *LOVE* this true DIY stuff, it warms my heart! :-)I used an old cookie tin to make a bracket to hold my board up
off of the Tupperware lid.
Some advice, install a DB9 cable in there and put it somewhere accessible so that you don't have to open it to load code. Yes, I know about the switch, you can route those out to a hidden switch too. If you've installed the 100k pull downs on your outputs, then you can use that switch as a kill switch for the car ;-)I'm getting close to having the ECU up and out of the passenger footwell.
Did someone piss on your territory? LOL. What's the competition? The boost? Those things are pretty light ;-) One piece rods, too! :-)Look out turbo Citroen.
Love this! :-) It inspired a new fb album with all the DIY ECUs in it :-)
Absolutely, 2 cars in the first 3 days, wicked! :-)On that note, congratulations to number eight and nine. What a
great start to the new year!
Great! :-) That french car should help us iron out some of the subtle things that are missing. He needs a tacho too, btw, so the priority on that just shot up a little.I'm keen to get fueling up and running, especially after having to
troubleshoot EMS sync problems with a carb. Worst case on fuel for
my car is six months out. It could be sooner.
You're most welcome, Sim! :-)Cheers all, and thanks again for the help troubleshooting Fred.
Fred.
