The V8 Owners Forum -

Cheers for you help Dave, Good ol' photobucket, I'm sending them a basket of fruit 8) I was advised to make up a small circuit like this - https://image.ibb.co/kuEU0b/tachfixhm.jpg Which didn't work. So I had a good rummage around in the ECU and found that the person who added the output wire, had a...

I am not an electronics expert by any means, quite a novice in fact, so I checked the circuit many times before and after fitting. I am 100% sure that it is correct. The transistor used in the circuit is a 2N5551 - third one down on here. http://www.msextra.com/doc/ms2extra/MS2-Extra_Hardware.htm#ta...

Hi all, I have a P6 with Megasquirt 1 V3, running fuel and ignition on a 4L Rover V8. Most things working now except the tacho. To try and get it working, I contacted a company who sells a device called a 'tachfix.' After conducting a few tests, like attaching the IDM to the tacho, where it made the...

I went to an Audi dealer to buy a 3 month old S8. They coudln't find the keys, then when they finally got them, there was only 15 miles of petrol in it. He went to find some petrol but came back without any saying that we would have to go on a short test drive. He took my licence to copy it and forg...

As an aside, the mention of EvoStick reminds me the current stuff is nothing like as good as the original. Think they changed the solvent. Is there a better alternative? New legislation means that we cannot sell contact adhesives that contain Toluene to the general public, only companies. So you ne...

I should have put that he is conversant with the edelbrock, and not called it a weber. He tells me that he knows them very well and has set up many of them.

I've been over to a rolling road in Doncaster DN12 2AQ, chap named John Sleath.

He is conversant with the weber, and has all the tuning kit, control rods jets etc.

This is how I did it, nicked this from another forum "Well here's the helicoil and the bit of head that I unscrewed from the bolt http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s61/quattro_album/EFI%20megasquirt/helicoil_zpsbihyab1m.jpg Drilled out the old thread to the correct size and tapped the hole for the ...

I did the job last year, and used one of these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-8-UNC-Helic ... SwofxUdcNm

Worked a treat

I tried a few oils in mine, and eventually discovered Redline MTL, which is by far the best one IMO. I mixed it with white spirit (25% MTL to 75% White spirit) then ran the motor for a few minutes, changing through the gears (Not moving, just changing through the gears). Then drained that out and re...

Car's off the road due to some annoying leaky bits, so I have been reading up on MS1 ignition maps and have come up with this map.

Does this look right?

Been googling and found that others have had the same problem, although reading about it, it isn't actually a problem at all :D "1) msq errors: Warning: MSQ Units Mismatch for maeRates4! kPa/s found in current configuration, ms found in MSQ, values were not converted to new units. Warning: MSQ Units...

Got it plugged in and it runs  I did get these error messages though when I downloaded the MSQ http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s61/quattro_album/EFI%20megasquirt/errors_zpsjkkndzkx.jpg Not quite sure where to find these in tunerstudio? Got the tickover stabilised by finding the bins the tickover ...

I just use a modified spark plug which has a small lenght of steel rod welded onto the end which protrudes about 20mm. I rotate the engine until no1 piston hits the TDC tool and then mark the crank pulley. I then rotate in the opposite direction until no1 piston hits the TDC tool and mark the pulle...

I've used Rotherham Engine Supplies in Sheffield for my bike engine and they were very good; fitted new valve seats etc.. Don't know what they are like with engine balancing, but worth a chat as they are in Yorkshire.
