I'm no longer interested in the DFA for meantime Shan, I might get it later on in future though. And my friend is switching his order from the DFA to EBC. So the order (including my friends) is now:

3x Independant Electronic Boost Controller

3x Hand Controllers

3x Cables

does the HC have light? and no writing? if so then do what newkleer said. The trimpot is located near the 25 pin thing to the left its blue and white, turn clockwise about 45 degrees. If the hc has no light at all then i don't know.

i'll try that out shortly......also ..i checkd the soleniod and tht works with direct power.. but when i hook it up to the board as per instructions..nothing happens.. ive got my jumpers set to suit ..as its a normal open unit.

when i turn the ignition on .....the solinoid ..being normally open should shut with power going to it.... its not doing that at all.

but ..at the same time ..i should have power to the HC.....but again ..its not doing that at all... trying to find my multimeter at the moment to track down the weak link

Matt

i havent either, but wasnt expecting till early next week (given monday was public holiday, so sending out on sat would be like sending out on tues)

Finished my DFA today, did everyone wire the link between the crystal capaciter thing and the hole near the plug?

If you are talking about the 20Mhz crystal, yeah, I did. It's jsut to ground the metal case of the crystal but in all my years in electronics, I haven't yet found why they do this. I'd say do it anyway. :)

this one's for the guys waiting for a mail delivery... I've been sent back all the parcel post packages I sent out because I hadn't signed the dangerous good disclaimer :rolleyes:

anyways, after talking to the guy at my postoffice I've organised for them all to be delivered via express post (24 hour delivery) so you should all recieve your packages tomorrow for sure.

Hey guys ive just noticed something on the IEBC pcb thats a bit confusing, the small link link5 is shown in the wrong position on the printed circuit board... Make sure you follow the overlay diagram not the picture and not whats printed on the pcb.

And yeah i earthed the crystal things... i dont think thats documanted very well either, i suppose its not that important to do it.

hey funky jsut wondering if it's time to start the new group buy, or at least get peoples intrest.

awesome job mate

cheers mark

i'll start another thread for group buy #2 shortly... i've just sent off the last of the first batch (hehe good one NewKleer)

this thread's a bit too long for people to browse thru n stuff. But has lots of good reading for people buying... I'll summarise costs in the new one and you guys can put down what you want. Once the necessary numbers are up (which should be within a few days) I can put in a second order.

next time I'll just cut the crap and just mail out using 24 hour delivery satchels, they're much more effective and they can hold an ebc, dfa, cable, book and handcontroller... just.

Did everyone get fragile stickers on their packaging, because I asked the postie to stick em on.

    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
    • Yeah, my offer was more to show exactly how rough and ready the rig can be and still be useful. Youtube vids will definitely show cleaner setups. Same concept though.
    • I would guess the seal has gone down at the speedo drive and gearbox oil has crept up the drive cable sheath and fouled the speedo head.
