Wasted spark is usually fine. Lets do the math for it, I enjoy maths anyway (wtf)? At 8000rpm you have 15ms per 2 rotations (4 stroke) so you have 7.5ms to charge, discharge and rest a wasted spark s

I used to run of these... its not aimed at just 4 cylinders... my vehicle was the car Andy tested the plug and play board on for the 33's..... Never a drama, had a problem with the installation which ended up frying the ecu (unshielded wiring behind the gate melted). Since it was a dealer that did it a new ecu was available that very afternoon... just called said what had a happened.. went and got the new one and handed over the dead one.

Unfortunately as this was a couple of years ago it wasn't quite up to speed in terms of map points....the new computer due for release looks the goods though :D

Highly underated... my old ecu is now powering a 25/30 in an R31 quite happily ....

few reasons, but they are a very simple budget ECU that gives competant results (tuned them on 4age's and turbo hondas)

i would seriously wait for a full 6 channel IGN and INJ model before fitting it to any of my customers cars.. till then it will remain the 4cyl base ecu.

I, and many others have ZERO issues running wasted injection and wasted spark. Including the 1UZFE boys.

I guess that would depend on the maximum RPM you intended to use vs the dwell time required by your ignition system...

it comes down to how many comprimises you want to make....... especially on a v8 1UZFE... dont get me wrong i have a killer big cammed AE86 here now with one im installing and tuning (if in vic feel free t drop past). i will post up the results in the next day or so.

Trent, if I am ever in Victoria, I'm definitely going to swing past to check out your setup, I hear a lot of good things, and would like to have a look-see and say Hi sometime, unfortunately though, I'm from Wollongong (Just south of Sydney)

I'm also planning to wait until Andy and the boys finish the new ECU, and I plan to upgrade to it also.

Interestingly without an Air temp modifier, the change in air density from 20 deg to 80 deg C is 20.5 % which if uncorrected would result in a 12:1 AFR (20 deg) going to 9.96:1 (80 deg) or if it was tuned with an air temp of 80 deg at 12:1, then you would have a 20 deg AFR of 14.46 !!

Adaptronics are quite unreliable, lots of great options but lots of dodgy drivers etc. That pulse racing at menai raves about them but apparently all their computers have been replaced at least once...

That's an incredibly general statement and I very much doubt it is backed up by anything resembling a fact.

i've had mine for over 2½ years never had a problem with it, and i know a handful of people who have had them longer who havent had any issues

i've had a few with connector issues, they use the cheapest damn conectors for the main power and earth circuits its embarrassing. Other than that they are a capable low end budget ECU, i certainly would not run a big dollar engine off one though.

Yes I had a connector issue unplugging and reseating fixed it but.

just what you want on a big build.... an ECU cutting in and out at 7000rpm......

Honestley if the swapped to another connector type i would use more on 4 cylinders, if they upgraded again to 8 drivers then i would use more again.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, that and throwing away opened, part used, closed back up bottles has got to be bullshit. Brake fluid sits in not-very-well sealed master cylinder reservoirs for literal years and keeps working (albeit we know we should flush it every couple of years - it actually still works). Anything kept in a bottle in the shed with a tightly capped lid has got to be a million times better than what has been in the car for the same length of time.

      Wait, they're claiming UNOPENED fluid has a shelf life of only 18 months?

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      The plan is to get it out of the shed. The reality may fall some way short. But hope is as cheap as despair as they say. Will go a wide band I think. The coils are ok so maybe I’ll miss the $1500 on the R35 coils etc. Im still on the fence about a trigger kit. The HKS one looks nice ($1k) - not sure how it works with the Link or if Link prefer something else. Oil pressure is fine so I’m not that concerned there. Fuel pressure I’ll have a think about. The IAT got changed for the Link anyway as the old RB26 ones were really slow reacting and pretty poor. The Power FC just worked. Wasn’t terribly refined but it just worked. Probably made a mistake replacing it really. E85 isn’t available locally - it is 100+ kms away which puts it in the too hard basket. Lastly I understand Tunecorp in Perth are pretty good so was probably going there.   As for turbos is there are new age -5 drop in replacement? Turbos have come a long way in 20 years, everyone is big single which is fair enough but I prefer the old school complication of twins. Wasn’t chasing more power (well, not much more) but more efficiency would be ok.

      I thought I'd share this....the shell is non genuine but they found or built a lot of the genuine parts. Plus, it is by far the best colour scheme of those years, the winfield once was particularly shit https://www.v8sleuth.com.au/written-off-inaugural-godzilla-recreated/
