Right then

What have I broken?

Can it be fixed by a ginger ape? Or does it need to go off the Scuzzle or alike? I do have a soldering iron, but it still unopened in the box.

 

Excluding my above faliure, to which happened because the "Diablo" immobiliser had a earth cable which was fixed to the back of ECU cover plate, that I didn't realise. It wasn't a bad day.

Following this thread here http://www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1311&page=4, I think I have wired my TPS correctly???

From the thread

Mine

Also I painted the exhaust;

Which now finished, sits like this;

Fitted my old GV lip back on, I feel off a track back in November and I managed to run it over :doh:

A bit battered

 

its a diode thats popped

 

its a diode thats popped

Any ideas what sort?

 

Is it a stock ecu or after market. remove the diode from the board see what number it is then contact either the company that make that ECU and find out what value you need or contact mazda if its stock. Most likely a 1N004 or similar. it probably a protection diode

 

Megasquirt MS1 bud, burnt to shit so can't see what diode it is. It must have have some link to fuel regulation.

Nice one DM, mega helpful as always. So my 'hit with hammer' level of appreciation for electrical items I require a 1N4001 transistor?

Like this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Diode-1A-50-Volt-1N4001-/281266437102?pt=UK_Computing_Other_Computing_Networking&hash=item417cc93bee

 

Have you managed to get your ECU fixed yet? Did you use that .ini file I sent you? as I don't think that map will work with your ECU.

I should have been more clear, you should remove the settings off the map I sent and plug them into your map and off you go!

as said early you have to scale the req fuel for you injector size.

...my t28 build is a runner now and absolutly flies after a few adjustments to the original map

Iv got a friend currently replacing diode D10, so should be good for the weekend.

I tried uploading it and it through some error codes, I believe some relating to your map being MS2 and mine being MS1?????? Should of print screened it.

Ruddy hell, wish I knew what I was doing. I want mine to fly .

 

Woooo Megasquirt is fixed, my mate Ash kindly soldered in a new D10.

Started her up quickly and she ran, cant remember what map is on there and what condition it is. None the less welded up a little patch for MOT, so the car can come back down off the stands now, first time since Christmas.

Got my AEM wideband, need to figure out how that goes in then its onto tuning.

Stuck my temporary boost gauge in, until I find one I prefer.

People seem to rave about the master cylinder brake stoppers, so adapted my JDM strut brace into one.

Also made a longer handle for my hydro handbrake, which is currently drying.

All in all turbo building is coming to close, ready for turbo tuning

 

Hooray!
Nearly there, bit of tweek to fuel and choochoo sound time.

 

Ta da, another good day in the sun. Plenty of boxes ticked.

One home made roll cage re-painted, the previous glow in the dark paint was pretty cool, but rust had been coming through it as I painted bare tube, so out came the Hammerite.

Made myself a new handbrake lever out of a set of MTB handle bars and grips.

Comparison to the old handle;

Got carried away with the Hammerite and painted my strut brace come master cylinder stop, also time for some completed engine bays photos.

Also seeing as the cage is back in, the car can finally come back down to earth. Haven't seen her like this for 3 months now.

So literally all that's left to do is;

- Tuning

- Wideband install

- Get some rubber on those new wheels.

 

I proberly already ask but what size hydro you using?

0.625 mate.

 

Top man, great productive day!

Cheers bud, choo choo noises aren't far away.

 

Just noticed on the first page you went to a drift day at Smeatharpe. I'm from there originally, my mate's family own the farm land and airfield so used to take my car on there all the time. Best was when it was snowy and we had free reign to slide about all over the place

Good improvisation using the bike handlebar :lol:

 

The hydro looks awesome with the mtb bars, looks like your almost there!

 

where you get a .625 from? I struggle to find one. I can only find .7

Would love to be able to have free reign of Smeatharpe, great place so much fun you can have with a bit of open space. Would love to have grown up there, shame its so constricted on use.

Cheers bud they are a set of Atomlab general issue bars from about 2006. Cut down to some ridiculous 550mm from my teenage riding days, so way to small now. Made good use of them though.

Was off eBay similar to this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wilwood-0-625-Non-Integral-Remote-Brake-Clutch-Master-Cylinder-5-8-RD3614-/321330400533?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4ad0c8cd15

Mine came with fittings as well.

Was boring growing up there as there's hardly anything to do :lol:

Mind you, back in the day you could really easily break in to the banger stadium, and there was a motocross track next to that, so we used to go up there with our bicycles and mess about. The airfield only came good when we got our driving licenses lol.

Some couple who are barely ever there complained about the noise from the car events that the owners of the airfield started to put on, so they're only allowed a maximum of about 10 events a year now. Ridiculous really, none of the residents who are there all the time really care about it, you can hear the cars but only if the wind is blowing towards the village and it isn't intrusive. Some people are just miserable and don't like other people having fun.

Yeah I suppose, better than nothing I guess.

That very much seems the way of tracks now, noise complaints become the killer. Thing is its so flat up there it can be pretty easy for the noise to travel, the noisiest was definitely the motorbikes when I was last up there. Could hear them for miles.

Shame really, as there is nowhere to drift down here and its only 4 times a year at Smeatharpe.
