[Ants]

It's been on the dyno. GIVE IT SOME!

Where you gonna peg the boost needle Ant eater?

lol........soon Paulie very soon.

Have no idea what Sean is setting things at so I guess everything will be revealed when I get to pick up the ant-eater

Any movement? When can you rip a skid?!?

20 pages! Some serious progress here. I think we need a post about the ECU Ants. for future use when you look back at this thread!

[Ants]

Ok, thats fair enough Scottie.

Many apologies to all regarding the slow progress of late regarding this project.

I have been trying very, very, very, hard to get things wrapped up but alas these delays are unfortunately out of my control (which has been frustrating the hell out of me )

So, after I called the tuner last week (who was frantically focusing on getting ready for Jamboree), my Haltech ECU decided to more or less crap itself after an hour on the dyno - something to do with the coms port not reading. The tuner told me he has sent the ECU to Haltech for repair.

Needless to say that after that conversation I felt pretty much guttered.

From seeing the Ant-Eater being tuned on the dyno to this was rather depressing. Although its a new computer (as in never been used) its out of its warranty period.

Anyways, to cut a long story short, I have been in contact with Haltech today (who are a great to deal with BTW) to find out what the prognosis is.

The ECU has passed preliminary testing which is positive to hear. However, there is a display error - im not sure what this means yet.

I have been told that the ECU will be returned tomorrow to the workshop, so hopefully it will be all good.

That is all I have for the moment guys.

I do hope to have some communication from my tuner this week and x fingers it will be ready soon.

Once more information is made available to me I will off course update you's all.

Oh man! Your so close! Not long to go now

Glad to hear Haltech were happy enough to assist you though, i was strongly considering one before i picked up my nistune. However local Adelaide support was the decider for me.

Get us some dyno footage ! Must hear... rb..

Sounds frustrating to say the least, mate. Bear with it, you've come a long way with the beast and have had bigger hurdles than this! You're close, and I look forward to seeing the final power run video with power graph

Such a great build thread, so many ups and downs, but such an inspiration.

Can't wait to see the future updates

[cowdy]

Thread needs more pics of the car back in your hot little hands Ants.

Not sure where about you live but have you thought about trying it on E85? or maybe getting the Haltech Flex Sensor and run both. Sorry if this has been covered before

[ibrox90]

ah the ever dangerous "........for now"

can I just say power figure aside that torque curve is AWESOME!!!......

smooth drive and given the motor reliable as....

Im guessing that 350 on a "Run in " tune ?????

I'm thinking in 6 months this shit will get re-dic

ok here are some photos of the Ant-Eater I quickly took today

So future plans are to get it tuned on E85 and install an ethanol sensor just 4 piece of mind and hopefully crack that 400rwkw.

Since I have a United service station literally not even 300 meters away, the availability of E85 is not an issue.

After speaking to Sean, he mentioned there is plenty of power to be had. So things look promising.
