Not the end of the world to not have ps tbh just heavy to park at low speed. all 82's have ps iirc -

Lmao its 200 miles lads, i flew to scotland and drove the 85 back, drove to northampton to collect a bonnet, to midelsbrough to buy my levin, to manchester for an exhuast and i live in southampton lol its only a two and a half hour drive each way, costs half a day to possably gain a car -
Baaahahahahaaaa! You wont sell because you know just how much you will miss it! Same as i wont sell even though i think of it all the time. every one comes back to them, and yea you have another stored up but THIS car is a one off, FACT! Mk1's just dont come around like this. hondas are dull and when you sundley miss the boost one day it will dawn on you what you have sold and cant get back

And get the ultimate not the blue. no matter what set up you get tge ultimate has far better maping ability and paramiters to tune. worth the extra money mate.

Waiting on a pic of it as i may buy one and smooth the reflector recess and keep my oem lights just loose the strip. They gonna have the threads to bolt the oem hinges too?
-
Of course its never dead on balls acurate like say calculating the size ofa steal beam as weather heat fuel etc etc will constantly change but id say its very very close and id be happy using it if i need to calc my injectors. but i jave 550's sat here already lol. defo should be pasted some where as is very useful to have that for ref for future builds imo.
-
Cheers guys, your positive thoughts and comments help to keep me at it.............. That and i think grant will actual kill me i i sell up haha!!! (seriously, he will its not a joke!)
-
Adam thats awesome!! Needs to be cut and pasted to wiki for future use! And no dave its not a rule of thumb lol its maths so as its the pricipal of fuel flow rates id say "adding a bit on" throws the maths out the window lol. if you have the correct info to input for any car then the maths equations will still be the same equations.
-
Alot of the loom, ignition etc is custom bits not megasquirt specific iirc.
-
Oh also athena headgasket, nothing but!!! I've ran oem and cruise and they are shit athena are fantastic! I only use them now and also arp'd the shit out of my engine last time i gave it a refresh. but i just like adding to the engine spec list lol mine silly now haha
-
Injector size realy depends on your mapper tbh dude, you idealy need to be close to maxing as you dont want a 1000cc injector at 50% duty as you get more of a dribble than a spray. maybe drop grant a lil pm, not sure how much he knows of dta but he has built his own standalone megasquirt kit, loom, sensors, ignition system etc etc, take a look at his shrek build. lol hes fookin nuts! His car is race standard not modded car lover standard ;) puts the pp boys to shame when they had the green on lmao.

Little more but not huge, started arsing with the engine a little more, just bits and bobs realy, grants over sunday to weld my fmic mounts and start on the front exit and custom down pipe. Messing with the oil relocation kit too as it was grubby from the old v so got new fittings and new hose. also got my defi h.u.d fitted on the dash (right hand corner) and all the depo guages dropped in place ready to start wiring all the electrics, just need to dig my hks ebc out too then wire the lot in one go. little wins as they come atm, struggeling to find the drive to do it anymore monster 4wd b
-
Just need to plug the loom in the bay, wire the standalone and finish bits and bobs then its road worthy, quite a bit to do to make it how i want though chin up though dude dont cave yet. that said im sure you lads see a pile of dosh doing nout when you look at it just like i do just need to force ya self back into it and i hope the fire comes back for the passion it once was.
-
Hey all, i want a manual winder system for the 85. Pm or reply in here lads
-
All an fcd set up like this will probably get you is a poor fuel consumption and a blown engine at some point. if your lucky you may see 220ish hp due to poor fuel control and no ignition control. Realy not the best way to tune mate.
-
Thanks liam. Is all done by ron at theflockshop.co.uk hes only down the road from me and his works awesome!!! Hes become a good mate now ill be sorting a banner to advertise him in my sig soon as anyone after flocked bits should get in touch with him

Lol shitvic = fail!!! nice looking scooby in the background though -
Well i finaly pulled my finger out my arse and did something to the car was about time as im starting to lose interest realy so lets hope the next few days relights my love for it all. Flocked dash is refitted just a few lower panels to fit back on. Is actualy black and grey but when its photo'd it reflects like a bitch lol and comes out cream, ill get a decent shot without the flash tomorrow if i get a chance. as the pics just dont do it justice tbh. Also my fav mod of the car!!!! the razo shifter feels sooo good in your hand, and the tc short shifter is so close its almost nuts!
-
Fair one, the 20g is a massive turbo though so would easy make massive hp, its not like a td04 or the td05 16g most would use.
-
Should pm turbo grant, he still has a td05 20g setup for sale, was going on his 5e but he changed setup, will flow shitloads of boost and make big hp
