Better MB to use would be one of the VIA mini boards.. got a C3 1.3ghz procesor. more than enough power. has vga out, svideo out, and video out.. has onboard sound and lan, you cant use the arcadevga, but you can get a convertor box to convert 32khz signal to 15khz for around $90.. better than a $150 Arcade Vga card (it wont plug into the via board anyways).. Oh, and highly recommend a Laptop hdd,. not a normal 3.5" hdd. they aint designed for mobile environments, and every car pc I've seen installed with the 3.5" have failed.. Only a matter of time.. and, best solution would be a touchscreen membrane over the original ford ICC unit.. I have done it. but its a pain in the arse... d

pics?

it also looks like they done it with a wet sponge... The "black fill" is too clear to be done by hand.. But its priceless never the less.. Danny.

might have to pull icc out to see what TSOP it has.. and see if there is any interface circuitry inbetween which I doubt.. Danny.

Know this is a old thread, but has anyone managed to get the IR reciever in the ICC hooked up? Do we know if its a 38khz tsop or something else ? thanks D.

ahhh.. And just what we're missing from out cruse events...

no, you command boost via desired boost / duty cycle table.. Thus causes XX psi, which corralates to "load".. if you have 15psi, you have approx 2.0 load.. the ford pcm (not advantage) has various tables for boost control.. allows open or closed loop boost control. Advantage only gives you access to the Fords PCM tables.. D.

We all want happy safe afr umm.. I believe its more due to the extra exhaust gases produced when the engine is working harder, in turn means turning the turbo harder, more boost. but pcm control boost control will open the wastegate more to stop it boosting more.. However, in a manual VL for instance, you hardly ever see 15psi in first gear because as it comes on boost the engine revs too fast and you have to get ready for the next gear.. So your comment also does come into play. d

Actually, No body corrected me.. I just fired up advantage, and Commanded Fuel is TP vs RPM, not Load.. the Spark map is Load vs RPM... shows how often I look at the headings So damn it, Gogo's original comment stands correct, you would run tp500 richer based on the fact that you will have more load in a higher gear.. Although, in saying that, I also disagree. Load is calculated by manifold presure.. ie, boost.. Higher gear would generally load the engine more, and produce more boost.. But, we have a PCM controlled boost system here, not a VL bleed valve. So technically, load would be the same in all gears provided you are controlling the boost properly What datalogger are you using? My logger shows I got peak load 1.7 with approx 12psi.. Rule of thumb is load of 2 is 15psi. Not sure why it would say 100% d

No it does not. The fuel table is RPM Vs Load.. as the load increases you can command more or less fuel to suit your liking.. In a N/A V8, I have seen where first gear only gets 0.8 load, where as in top gear you get 0.9.. You can give more fuel at more load.. No. that's not the reason.. My opinions of running rich is 2 fold.. Fuel will help cool the pistons etc, and more fuel makes a engine less suspectable to detonation. Also, High RPM + 6th gear = Overspin the dyno.. Most Dyno Dynamics have 200km/h limitor in them. So high rpm + 6th gear will be way beyond that. tuning in 4th (1to1 gear) is fine. Danny.

5volts, and you want to filter it really well... d

I aDmit I Done something nealy as Dumb as Dhis. flasheD a fpv pursuit, and went to start it from the winDow. DiDnt start. flasheD it back to stanDard, anD, it still Didnt start. anD no, it wasnt left in D.. got into the car.. and well... I remembereD it haD a fpv starter button I shoulD have taken a photo and posteD it to the forums.. woulD have gotten wonDerful help by the looks of this threaD.. 27 pages! D.

Ohhh.. They have a Scart output?? last time I checked, they only had a single Video output There ya go. that will help.. Unsure if its 1080i output though...

think I paid $80 for my .5 metre optical cable. although I have used both optical and coax for the sound, as both methods are digital, you prob wont notice much difference between them, unless you had a real long coax run .. D.

That explains the picture quality then.. using a single Yellow video lead aint gonna cut it... At least get a direct component cable direct from dvd player to plasma.. (the 3 rca's usually coloured red, green, and blue).. That will improve your picture quality dramatically.. as for the foxtel picture quality.. there's not much you can do there.. Danny.

Yes I agree there.. there are some cheap optical cables. but a good one will fix that problem

Cant run Optical for ya sound ? d.

HDMI offers little gain over the component connection.. But its Digital rather than Analog... and Why would you run audio to the plasma screen.. Better question, Why have a plasma screen with speakers?? Audio should goto your surround setup Get a HD Set top box, and make sure your running 1080i single from it to the Plasma screen.. You will then be impressed Foxtel / SD just doesnt cut it.. its like a LCD monitor not running at Native resolution What connection method are you using from your DVD to Plasma? I'm assuming your not using the single Video Yellow RCA?? Danny

ahh sick mate I fitted my cooler today too (the original Ford one leaked anyways.. had a small pinhole in it!!) pics to come later

What you talking about?? I see nothing.. LOL a magicians trick to success is to distract the crowd away from the trick itself.... I guess she's doing a good job of that Danny.

"Not work safe"

Ahh makes sense then.. Because if you lost it completely and nothing come back then I'd expect all plantery gears to be chomped.. My cars going great.. been playing with the timing in my tune.. I tell ya.. I am hanging to get injectors done (I've done valve springs myself now).. But she's going better than before with just a bit more tinkering.. Danny

Hey rob.. too bad on the plantery's hey.. I would have expected all teeth to be munched off if you lost drive ?? Hows that work? What else needed replacement in your box.. and what kinda $$$ it end up costing?? Danny.

I agree with every single one of them.. (except luxo sports leather as I dont have that).. Regarding the seats.. Why put the lumber support knob on the door side of the seat.. its too hard to adjust WHILST still sitting in position. My AU one was in the console side of the seat. that was easy to adjust. The washer jets ... Well they are pointing downt oo low. and quick glance at them looks like they are not adjustable.. Danny
