Very nice man will be awesome once finished keep up the good work.

Green one is killa

\What colour is yours man?

Sounds awesome corty and definitely envious that yours is gonna be on the street as well by the sounds of it. You will have to get some pics up sometime.

Heya Corty77 sorry for the late reply Im in the same boat as RSWEPN apparently we are only monitoring the absolute essential things we need to and mainly from a bunch of mechanical gauges to let us no oil pressure, trans temp etc. Mechanic said he wasnt gonna even try run the factory sensors sorry man :-/.

No worries man

To be honest mate im not 100% sure but im pretty certain you can. Ill have a chat in the following days with the engine builder and see exactly whats going on. Cos basically We are getting all the info Boost, air/fuel, water temp, oil pressure, revs etc etc and I know we didnt buy that many sensors. So yeah ill keep you posted.

We are using the ems 8860 ecu with a digital dash data logger and sensors that were supplied by ems as well. For the complete ECU setup and dash etc its been under 5K which I know is still a fair bit but when compared to some motec stuff its not so bad. ( the ecu and sensors was about 2k) It is a full race car however so things like speedo etc arnt important to us.

Hi mate, we are almost finished doing a Capri conversion at the moment, have gone aftermarket ECU, fitted VCT lockouts from Atomic and Cable throttle body from Plazmaman. Much easier way to go cos it eliminates Fly By Wire and Variable Cam Timing and it opens up a lot more after market ECU's and your not restricted to just the BIG dollar management systems.

Definately true dude but yeah like ive said end of next month when it has the cage in it diff n big wheels ill start putting some pics n stuff up .

Lol Shy im too embarrassed to start a thred yet

You are right Ale like I said in a previous post though the buggy my mechanic built with the ls2 runs a motec and is tuned by this fella troy who has also tuned the big injectors on other applications. I mess around with jet saying its cos of him that I want motec but I am grateful of the questions he's been asking. Hopefully this is just a stepping stone onto bigger things with the full chassis car and much bigger application so gotta look at the bigger picture too. Having said that I've done way too much over so long to jump into anything without research n thought we may well change our minds once or twice on ecu choice by the end of the build. As for meth we have talked about that too and again its on the cards at a later date but we still wanna give e85 a go first. And Alex if I do go bigger I can tell u one place my turbo wont be going and that's to you ....

Hehe ford_boy dont u worry ive found out at least the first 2 quickest xr6's are using nitrous so yes that's on the table too but not what we are gonna try straight up. I still wanna run the c4 cos these guys are running two speeds so mine should still theoretically get up on boost quicker in first gear. All else fails we have a transbraked powerglide ready. And worst case if its not meeting our expectations the block out of my white taxi might get pumped full of goodies with a bigger turbo whacked on . I dunno its a sickness it never really stops once you start so who knows where it will go. As long as I get to enjoy this one a lil longer than the last.

Yeah nah that's awsome Aaron I was loving the questions u asked cos I didn't have to, your a champ dude .... And the 1800hp cooler is the first one that came to mind wen I realised my 1000hp one had a split in it. Was peters idea to go water to air but again for all out racing I was wondering if it was really worth it when u don't really ever do back to back runs anyway.

Lol that's insane but I did just google it and plazmaman seem to have done some dry ice stuff lol.... My mechanic said we should look into w to a but guess a question or two but dry ice can't hurt
