If you want to stop fuel cut on a UK spec, take the hose off the MAP sensor and stop it up with a screw. That's it. Of course, that means any overboosting won't be registered, unlike with the Thor unit where it moves the fuel cut rather than removes it.

 

The UK spec car uses the MAF for all it's fuelling, the MAP is there for one purpose only - to watch for overboost.

 

On a j-spec it's used for fuelling too, so it's vital. In this case the FCD clips the signal at around 0.99bar of boost as it's only at 1bar+ it initiates fuel cut (it's not a simple switch, cut comes in based on time and level of boost over 1bar but anyway). Fear not about the fuelling because by the time the stock ECU sees 0.9+bar of boost it holds the injectors open 100% anyway. Which on 440's with a decent fuel pump will run 1.2bar of boost on stockers. Seeing as you fuel the same for 1, 1.1, and 1.2bar of boost (100% duty cycle) you may as well run 1.2bar

Very very interesting. Thank you so much Ian

So a J-spec would be running rather rich at 1-bar, and probably about right by 1.2bar (AFR wise anyway). How bizzare. I suppose it's like a desperate safety measure.

Regarding my UK spec, that seems like the preferred solution for me then, since I have a red-light boost alarm on my SPA gauge, and boost-cut is provided by my right foot.

Do people actually *do* this though - block the MAP hose? No cons to it?

You're not far from Leeds so there's MCanny and a whole load of others!

BTW, 's means either belonging to or "is".

e.g.:

The Supra's seats are really comfortable

The Supra's really really good!

(I'm only winding you up BTW, but I did notice and I'm proud that now, thanks to The Apostrophe Prevention Society or whatever they're called, I now know)

so... what's going on with the lorry driver then?

Now that the air is cold, I'm easily hitting my high-boost alarm (which would shortly be followed by fuel-cut) in second gear now, so it's probably time to fit the Thor FCD that's been sat here for a couple of months.

What I want to know is, will the car (UK spec) fuel all the way up to 1.2 bar or will it stop fuelling at the boost level it sees (where the FCD clamps it to).

Does boost have anything at all to do with fuelling or is this taken care of by airflow meters?

A pound a watt! You must be joking

50 pence a watt darling.

I think it would help if you give a price. Quite nice little speakers though.

I'm thinking £75 + delivery.

Wattage would be helpful????

as the label (clearly visable) says "recommended amplifier: 15 - 75w/ch", I'd hazard a guess that they might be rated at 75watts RMS each.

speaking of feedback - looks like someones planning a little crop

I've had this pair of Mission speakers for ages now, and never used them. I beleive they are satellite speakers from a full setup. Mate had two pairs of these and some crazy centre speaker.

Anyone interested?

So what are all those braided hoses? Are they fuel lines for the bigger injectors? Or power lines for them?

Old enough to know that this thread has been covered before, sometimes with polls.

I was waiting for that

Ask Chris Wilson about this. He's after a laptop with Serial port.

thanks Pete. I had him in mind actually Will talk to him later.

How much for you to install a DVD-Rewriter and is this "mobile" as in take it anywhere you wish?

Take it anywhere you want. DVDRW units aren't readily available but I could probably make one fit for £100.

I also have this machine available for £500 which includes a DVD ReWriter:

(it's identical to that machine, just £70 cheaper, + free delivery)

What've I fucking told you about following me around on here :grr:

I have this laptop available for sale.

Specification is as follows:

Intel Pentium-M 1.4Ghz Processor with 1mb L2 Cache (Centrino-type processor. Nice.)

256mb DDR SDRAM. Easy and Cheap to expand.

40gb HDD

ATI Radeon 7500 Graphics 32mb.

DVD-ROM Drive

Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet

Compaq W200 Wireless LAN

Synaptics Dual Pointing Device (Touchpad and Trackpoint combined).

9-pin Serial Port for all you ECU-programmers

Although the pictures don't do it justice, this is a very nice business notebook. It is similar in quality and style to the Thinkpad T40 machines.

CD-ReWriter drives for this unit are currently on eBay for £32.

Only £350.00

A review of the unit is available here

that's his sister! and she is HOT

Oh yeah it's running xecuter2 and it's a 1.1 xbox I think.

I chipped my sisters xbox about a year ago with the X-Bit chip, and it seems that the unit won't play her legit copy of Halo 2 now. It plays other legit games ok.

I had thought that there was a way to bypass this chip with the dip switches - the software table says dips 1 to 3 are used for selecting which bios image to use (it's a multi-bios one - partitioned 2mb), so i presumed sw4 on the dip switch would disable the chip but this is just giving the 'dead-bios red/green flashing'..

any thoughts?

Go bottom of this page, I've got the tests for all VSVs

awesome

be interested to know how you get on piehound. I was surprised at the cleanliness of your car all round.

as above the logitech stuff is a common cause. You need to disable automatic restarts and see what the error message is. If you're lucky it'll point to a driver file.

Nice car! I was stuck in the hellish traffic from Liverpool up to Leeds. Took me two goddamn hours

this is the one that was in the topgear roundup not long ago. Toyota, Citroen and a couple of other manufacturers are offering exactly the same car, just with different badges, and this is that car. In the test, it was observed that most people went for the Toyota one. It was a test of brand pulling-power.

The "saved by the bell" one is to do with boxing, isn't it?

nah, it's gotta be end of class at school!
