Dan,

thanks for your reply about the CAS... That helps answer the question big time!

Also, I have just loaded up the haltech software on my work pc, coil dwell time can be set between 0.2ms right up to 20ms.

....

This is 'tested' on Version 1.11.1 of ECU Manager.

I know they are constantly adding new things to the software + ecu's with each update.... so it may have not always been in there.

Standard dwell on left, max on right for illustration purposes.

Using a R32 / R33 Platinum Pro base map to work off

Yeah you can set dwell time but can only choose one figure for the entire rev range.

In something like a Wolf V550 you can set coil charge time over RPM and also over battery voltage. It has a full tuning table for both at 125RPM intervals

Quick voltage vs rpm for ign. dwell.

Obviously not as detailed down to every ~125rpm or there abouts as some ecu's can do but it's still able to do same basis.

I should probably have gone a bit further than using single axis of RPM and moved into the full map to cover more values.

edit - stupid me not attaching. fixed.

As per text mate. Am happy to see if i can find anything else that may have been added since yourself / Sean had a look. :)

At least they are bringing out new "features" on same hardware!

You got a promotion, Nick? From auto-sparky to car assembly? Haha.

At least you've got a project to work on.

im auto lek/mechanic now man... once i finish this car and finish building these new ones ill be into the workshop full time. instead of goin from 1 side to the other

Everyone should stop talking about finishing their cars off and actually do it :)

I want to do some more photo's

Took the fitting out of the filter/cooler housing on my block today, going to go chasing a replacement male to male fitting for it on monday for my oil cooler. Was going to relocate the filter but have decided I don't really need to and dont really have the room

Am thinking about doing a catch can setup but. just deciding on how to do it

umm autobarn actually sell some decent quality parts... and the price isnt even that bad (depending on what u buy)

doesnt matter what shop it is. its not nice seeing it go up in flames. specially when 4 little cun7s lit it up

Yeah jokes aside its not real cool at all, the fact that it was young girls setting fire to a toy shop a few weeks from christmas makes it pretty horrible

When I was 12 I never would have dreamt of doing that, Parenting these days has taken a slide for the worst

    • 2 does "sort of" applies, maybe......but looking at what parts would be needed for the swap to get engineered, registered, and insured, and basically that's everything under the car, the modifications the make it legal would be problematic and horrendously expensive, all for a street car that just cruises around and hits a few twisty roads on the weekends Also, from looking at the NSW rules and Regs, with all modifications that is required just to make the car safe and not twist itself to pieces, and then actually get registered for street use, may still be impossible nowadays As for 1, when you add in a fresh engine, fresh transmission, rear cradle and diff, tailshaft, suspension, brakes, cooling, and all the other fabrication required, your probably looking at up to $100k to do it right, all for a 20 year old MX5 that is over engineered and you would never be able to actually use the power it has on the street, much like your beastie, which I love, but you actually track that thing and can use all of its powers in anger, in a safe environment  Hell, the old Bogan Cruise Ship had more power than I could use on the street, and in hindsight, I went a bit silly on that thing, it didn't really need the 500hp it had for what I actually used the car for, it was fun, but basically unusable on the street if you value your licence  As for cams, yeah, I'll probably book it in for them to get installed and tuned soonish, like next month after MX5 Mania are back at work....... and yes, I've already sent a email to bin the turbo quote and quote instead to install cams and a new Fluidampr balancer that will suit the 2.5 better than the OEM 2.0 balancer that is swapped over for the 2.5 install, as the balancer needs to get pulled to time the cams it's a while your in there sort of thing I did think a bit about flex fuel for a laugh, but being na, and no where really around locally anymore to get E85, I've binned that idea, so no sweet sweet corn smells are set for the car I wish E85 was more of a standard fuel, it's better for the environment, better for tuning, plus that sweet sweet smell we all love As for fitting in the family, that's not needed, as everyone in the family already owns a car that can seat 5 humans comfortably enough, the MX5 is "my toy" As for buying a car that is already built, nah, I would rather pick and choose my parts, I enjoy the process, and in the big picture, the additional cost is well worth the enjoyment, and the occasional frustration, I get out of doing it, albeit with other people spinning the spanners, and me, just paying the invoice 🤣
    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/  
    • That would be my Shoei helmet
