Thanks a lot mate!

Yeah dude, that was most of the reason behind moving the battery to the boot as i wouldn't be able to fit a 3.5" intake there. Yeah the whole LHS of the engine bay will become the airbox, so i'll be able to do a nice intake with bugger all radius in the bend, if any at all. Once i get my new intake manifold to suit the Q45 throttle body i'll be starting the intake.

I test fitted my JMR headers today, I wanted to test fit them so i can order all the mandrel bends to make the mid pipe. They had a few minor fitting issues. Nothing I won't be able to iron out though :)

Cylinder 1 pipe was made a little too close to the alternator, we are talking millimeters. So I'll have to heat them up with the oxy and bend them a little.

I had to remove my AC lines to fit them, it was mainly the low pressure line that was fouling. Once I fitted them I put the lines back on, with a slight tweak you could get them to fit again, though I don't think I'm going to worry about it.

Thanks mate :)

If I eventually get off these 12hr night shifts I'll be able to get a bit more done. The next thing will be a 3" exhaust. I rang all the local exhaust shops and a few in Sydney, though most shops want $900 upwards for a 3" mild steel catback, keep in mind I'll be supplying all my own cat, resonator and muffler.

I thought about it and I might have a go at making my own exhaust. Order all the things I'll need from bestmufflers.com.

My oldies have a workshop with a 4 post hoist and a mig etc. So might give it a crack, I'll think about it for the next few days and make a decision.

Another minor update, it wasn't necessary, though it will make tuning a bit easier.

I originally thought the top cam gear was a fake, I later confirmed off RHDJapan that the top cam gear was Tomei's earlier design. So all good :)

    • If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...
    • All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
    • It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
    • I just try to entirely stay away from ladder now unless it's something basic maintained by electricians. Even then and to your point, it mostly ends up being blocks I wrote in structured text.  PLC's are slowly going towards C, C++ and C#. I just wish Allen-Bradley would jump on the bandwagon. 
    • All of them are missing. You do not get much done with just AND, OR and NOT unfortunately. Ecumaster for example has a text based editor with at least 60+ math and logic instructions.
