I smell shenanigans afoot If you get the full diagram chuck it my way. BTW once I re-purchase an ignition harness I'm wiring it up using the Zener diode trick....hopefully I'll have the e-manage working....then give you guys the full details.

Sorry the title confused me....I thought you were looking for someone with artistic flair to fix wandering folk

The sensor just lets you see the A/F in real time, allows it to be mapped along side the injector rates and airflow.....very handy. No my old coils were screwed either way, so it wouldn't have helped much.

Abo bob, nah the auto can work with the harness it's the fact that the constant load on the coils makes them fry...just like the RX-8 coils. If the holding voltage can be stopped..and only the peak firing signal sent..then the coils work fine. For some reason the e-manage sends *hypothetically* 2V continuous...then a 5V peak on firing signal...then back to 2V etc etc...it's this 2V holding voltage that keeps the coils energized and makes them cook after a little bit of time....if they went back down to 0V between firing then there would be no problem. Just going to hook up a circuit in series with the signal wires to only let through the peak voltage...I'll let you know how it goes. And I only just sold the harness a month or so back

Yep hungry6…I’ve been thinking about that lonely engine and how it would be much happier sitting in my engine bay Fro - A GTR engine would improve lots of things…..except your sisters patience with me!

Anyway did a bit of searching today, managed to find a way to finally connect the igniton harness up without killing the coils....about time the timing had something more technical done to it as opposed to the old chesnut of turning the CAS Also found a place that stocks a wideband O2 sensor that connects up to the e-manage for data logging.....will also help things a bit. Or maybe I'll just piss the engine off and throw a nice RB26 in

OK guys read something interesting relating to the use of the e-manage on the RX-8 apparently the OEM coils get fried by the e-manage as well...this can be countered by using what looks like a zener diode setup....see the link below. It prevents the continuous powering of the coil-pack.....so only the peak signal voltage will pass through the diode (firing signal)...the holding voltage is below that of the diode trigger so doesn't pass through and put the coil under continous load. The theory seems sound to me. http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?s=&t...&threadid=17055

"Back to the pavillion"

yeah managed to sort the AFR leaning-out while on the dyno...had the trusty laptop with me. It's not too horendous...most of it is in the region of 12-12.5:1 It's the power delivery that has me stumped....it's just so flat....I was hoping for some sort of curve.

Damn Dyno Queen I really need to get my exhaust sorted out....until then I reckon I'm stuffed for any decent power...she still goes good though...enough to keep a lot of turbos at bay.

Xenon is a brand name...they rip the HID guts out and replace with crappy halogen Congrats!!!

Jay what has yours given on a Dyno Dynamics?

Anyway guys....here is my chart from Saturday at AllStar with the Zed Club. See if you can spot where the A/F ratio was lean enough to make the car ping, retard timing and bugger up the rest of my run Anyway the power figures are low...apparently this can be confirmed by most people that use the Allstar dyno....but as everyone knows they're a tuning tool, not just for horsepower queens I did manage 97Kw on the first run...but as mentioned before, it started to retard quite badly. I've adjusted my AFRs so the Mercury Motorsport weekend should be better for comparison reasons. I was told not a bad effort considering I've still got the N/A exhaust fitted...hmmm back-pressure!

I agree with EVO83...Rich at Allstar seemed to be very helpful...the effort he put in for the dyno day was excellent, plus he's happy to answer any questions and show you what's going on with your car.

Hmmm keep the Sierra...they're cool!!!

Hmmm can't guarantee...all I know is you can swap the 444cc GTR ones over as the fit in the same fuel rail as I've got...so I'm assuming the R32 rail is the same? If you have a pic of the R32 plug at the top that would help confirm.

Yeah I'll be in that one too, I'm using this weekends run to get much needed A/F ratios then tune the balls off it after that Maybe get an exhaust that isn't a pea-shooter too

Getting 14.2 Ohms across the terminals..hope this helps

whoops bit late with that comment haha anyway hi guys

I don't come on as much anymore.....got a lot on

32 injectors are top-feed aren't they? I've got 6 top-feed injectors from an R34 25GT if you make a reasonable offer (~$75) you can have them they flow around 270cc

I'm booked for the one on Saturday...anyone else from here going?

I'm fairly sure they are high-impedance.....no sign of any resistor packs like GTR topfeed injectors have. I can measure it and find out though.

Shipping an engine should cost no more than $500....customs wouldn't give a rats anyway

That may be the problem though finding a DET head for 1K......forgies won't cost 3-4K either. At the moment though I have seen an RB25DET Neo cdown the coast for 4K...that's very cheap for one!!! And a few weeks ago on the NZ forums someone sold a complete engine g/box, computer intercooler for 3K NZD....I was spewing I didn't get to see that!!!
