CHAPTER 5: ok, smashing, great, now what?

Ok,
Were prepared now and have access to the maps needed to actually do something to this beast, so what next?

Well next comes the hardware. Im not going to directly show you the hardware i use as its taken a lot of trial and error of junk hard/software and a LOTof wasted cash to arrive at a package that is worldclass in its field. Im sure most of you will understand and appreciate that fact.

So first we need to hook our hardware into YOUR car.
Det cans:


Heres a pic of them hooked up to a YB lump:


And the other end of em with all the wire n stuff on the dash here in the same car. If you look closely you can see the channel switch, this allows me to swop between any of the 4 pickups ive insalled on the engine:


Ok,
Next we need to fit something to monitor the most important aspect of a turbocharged engines survival chemistry.. the fuel content, or AFR as we call it. (Air fuel ratio)

The one we prefer to use, look's like this at the in car end:


The sensor looks like any other lambda sensor, but so they can charge me serious money, it comes with a full calibration certificate like this:


And will be fitted either directly into the downpipe or inserted in the tailpipe
like so.

(Tailpipe option requires oxygen sensing capability ideally)

Now if it happens to be a Marelli system with Pectel board, we will also itstall a Pectel monitor. As seen here:



Ok.
Were getting there... now we have to get the laptop to run your car.. this is the expensive bit.. lol
