    Lambda Issue

    in Ignition & Fueling

    Posted

    it has a brand new sensor in it, have recrimped it again as before it wasn't the best. now to see if it makes any difference

    Have you a link to the one you bought? Want to replace mine before the fueling is setup just to make sure its ok.

    Any pics of the lines and fittings mike :)? Looking forward to these :)

    Also mike just though if you could sed me two extra fittings and some braided line im

    Sure i could cut it to size myself or is there a specifit way they have to be cut

    Incase metal fileings get into the fuel system ?

    Just an idea to save the farf or measuring them for you like

    I asked incase they dont fit

    This is for the rail to fpr :p

    The fitment on the rail is an6 so you will need two of these

    and providing the fitment on your rail is 1/8npt you will need one of these

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170961200502?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

    and for braided line it all depends on where your fpr is. This can be got here:

    I hope Mike doesnt mind me posting this here or maybe he would be able to do it cheaper.

    If you want me to remove this just say Mike :thumbsup:

    Best OEM Brakes Overall

    Pm Morgey mate :)

    Whats he got or what? I see he has a levin but doesnt seem to be selling the brakes of it.

    If people can't stretch to a WMS kit we've had really good feedback on DS2500 pads and WMS "110%" discs which use a thicker casting to increase thermal mass while retaining the original Glanza etc caliper.

    Would you rate the DS2500 pads better than the yellowstuff's I think it is.

    What would be the price for the DS2500's and the 110% discs posted to NI then?

    My personal opinion is to go for a good brake set up, up front something along the lines of WMS, wilwood or ksports or even levin twin pots and then just refresh the rears completely using OEM stuff

    I know what you mean but simply I cant justify spending £600 on front brakes alone but in saying that if I got WMS's for around 400 id say I would be more inclined for that.

    Unless you are running stupidly high HP, just get uprated pads.. no point going over the top unless you drive like a nut all the time :)

    Thats what I was thinking, only on a td04 setup at the minute

    Our customers have always given great feedback on EBC Turbo Groove discs with Yellow stuff pads :)

    What sort of price are they? Including whatever is the normal for the rear, ABS discs aswell

    So my glanza needs new brakes all round, well just really trying to keep things fresh. So what am I best to go for?



    I have heard that OEM pads and discs on the rear are the best, 20 of a difference in ABS and non ABS. Would I be better going for the non ABS and just put the 20 towards a removal kit?



    Fronts im not overly sure what to go for? It wont be used on a track, but does get some sprinted runs around back roads so need something sharp.



    Whats my options on the front? Thanks



    I dont really have the option of levin brakes as they never really come up for sale here.

    Here is a quick picture of how the screen is coming along, Im not interested in getting it all working and displaying accurate data before I worry about the layout



    2013-10-31230424_zpsb2196781.jpg



    Here I have a total of 5 senders, oil pressure, oil temp, fuel pressure, water temp and boost pressure.

    So soon enough im going to start making a loom that will be a bit more permanent with the wires being soldered to a proper board and hidden inside a case. This will then be hidden inside the dash.


    The power for the ardunio will come from a phone charger that I will take apart and wire in directly so as it has a 5v source instead of a 12. This should help keep things a bit cooler.

    For oil press I'd use two thresholds, one for too low and one for too high. And if it's too low I'd have tge display display "Oil pressure low" with an annoying beeping.

    Yes sounds like a plan? What do you think too high would be?

    Haha very good, hopefully it doesn't come to that lol

    I really want to do this as well, how are you getting on?

    I'm a .NET developer by day, super her by night.. just kidding. Anyway, I bought a Netduino to play with. I want to do similar, just oil temp/pressure, boost and also a lap timer. I'm at the stage now where I need to start buying sensors, I have a link bookmarked at work from a guy who did a lot of research and started doing a similar sort of thing, will try and remember to post it here tomorrow.

    Just after seeing your posts there now, sorry.

    Im only a student developer so im not overly experienced in the whole thing but im in a placement for a year now so hopefully should pick up plenty by the end of that. Good to see I can use you for tips/help lol.

    The thing is, it isnt hard to add something on to this later on. I've been looking at a boost controller mainly and it doesnt seem to bad and I never even considered a laptimer but I have no need for that as the i never race :(

    That's the big project, it will take some reading through, there's detail on his trials and tribulations throughout the post, I'm about 20 pages deep at the moment.

    Some more useful stuff here..

    and here

    I was going to start with a lap timer first, just a simple start a timer at a given GPS co ordinate, and stop the next time through it and then work on replicating Racelogics Performance Box from there. I have some other ideas, but they're big picture, and as I struggle to find the time to even get this thing started it seems pointless discussing them here.

    Good luck though, keep this thread updated.

    Had a quick look at the first post of the first one there and I can tell I've alot of reading ahead lol Seems very detailed now, once i get a chance I will look into the others.

    Thanks for the links.

    Well my update for today is that I got the board and started wiring up a few wee things but im struggling with the code I have to admit.

    Anyways heres a picture of what I've got so far.

    by the way just seen that its costing your man well over $1K, Lets hope that doesnt happen me lol

    I dont know if you can see it but the screen is displaying something like:
