Good luck tomorrow Nick. Everything here is firmly crossed in the hope that this time, all is good.

[NickB787]

Thanks

[Mangham54]

Good luck captain... Hope you get it all finally sorted.

[The Batman]

Hope you get the result you are after buddy

377 was with what pully on? (versus the 80mm now)

[NickB787]

Am in the waiting room now, good news is the trigger wheel is correctly timed. We decided to go standard 80mm pulley instead of the 72mm I have on now. Its a compromise between bhp v IAT s

[techieboy]

Good news that the timing was okay. I assume you drove it there Nick and didn't trailer it? If so, fingers crossed, the return journey will start to restore the love and make it feel like it was all worth it.

[NickB787]

Yep drove it throttle was a real pain. As you say let's hope the drive home is better least I have R1Rs on forecast is for heavy rain showers

really interesting nick, i hadn't read this thread before techie, I do have the DBW for DTA - it is called an STC. You need to link it to a DTA ECU for independent sensor monitoring so wont work with any other ECU. However they don't actively market it as they don't want people messing up the install and then blaming them when it goes wrong It has a throttle blip option which I think will be really useful on track, however I'm struggling to find a way to mount a clutch switch (any ideas?) I only have M62 charger so my results won't get anywhere close to nick's

Glad it's finally become something other than Scotch Mist. I've lost track of how many times I've asked for information on it and how many promises of it's "going to be launched later in the year" despite them telling us about it at Autosport a few years back.

Sounds good. Would mean I don't need to break an ankle trying to H&T.

Would it not be possible to mount a switch on the front bulkhead behind the arm of the pedal? Bit of fine tuning as to how far off the bulkhead it needs to be to activate at the right point during the pedal press but that must be one of the easier problems you've had to deal with......

[NickB787]

Hi Rik Glad you found it interesting Not certain how the blip works. They put the new map on and Ratty said it drives MUCH better.80mm on and just going on rollers

[techieboy]

Fingers crossed!!!!

[siztenboots]

if you have the IAT under control then the ignition timing will come naturally

yeah that was my initial thought also, but struggling to find a switch that looks suitable
Other thought was to re-wire one of the horn buttons for a manual blip??
will be one of the hardests jobs for sure.. I wasn't built for fitting into the foot well as you may know

[rob999]

Best of luck Nick. Keep us posted....(before you head off!)

[siztenboots]

I thought CS had already added a clutch switch for the SC Z20let conversion , as the turbo already has one.
