Tigz™ Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Congrats matt.Did they tear the whole standard management system out?Looking at the wiring diagram (pm me you e-mail addy) with Twisty one night, it turns out all the wireing is connected through the stock ECU and two 'Bus's for everything including, the indicators, heaters etc.Darrens engine man, cured this by running the standard ECU and wiring loom, but disconnecting each engine wireing and routeing that to the Motec ECU.

LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) Rock 'n' roll it's back. Awesome stuff and nice to see it finally running, first member who has had the 20vT done themselves I think.I imagine it rips in any gear, I bet it is such a buzz planting the throttle. I love big boost turbo whoosh nearly as much as I like tb's at 7500rpm... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Pity there are a few electricl niggles but at least it works enough to play. I hope they are just some wires left unconnected and easy for you to remedy.What was gear problem, gear linkage...hope you ain't broke anything in the box.

...superlupo... Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 tigz i think it's one of those bus things thats missin if thats possible..sold loads of the old bits to a mate so i think he mite have it.it's awesome it's pullin 1 bar boost and about 240 brake!! lights up in 1st, 2nd and 3rd if your nailin it from a stand still. other than that whoever said it's undrivable is lying it's so easy to drive and could easily handle more power. don't think i can jus yet tho style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> i think it's the linkages because the clutch wasn't slippin and as far as i know it's a newone. wanna get it sorted so bad tho.
