how about, park the engine up, concentrate on the business, get a good flow of cars out the door as getting them in doesn't seem an issue! then in a couple of years mess about with some toys?

you have bought then flogged on countless projects in the last couple of years and not finished one!

the fiesta rst
the rwd escort
the escort bonus

to name 3!!!

you need to have a real business head on in your first few years of running your own business.. you have the talent, just don't use it on your own cars!! lol

BigErn

Whos hand you pinched???

You not think you got enough to do, you said yourself already there arent enough hours in the day to get the work done.

You just a glutton for punishment :

Emerald, defo can run five pot, just ask them as needs a slight tweak to get best out of, very easy system to use, as even I can do it, well some bits anyway!
They are seriously booked for mapping though, but plenty of other dealers that do thier stuff.
Karl at Emerald has quattro, as does will holman(editor PPC), both on Emerald.

Wouldn't it be easier to use a stock ST2.5 ECU or is it wired into the the rest of the car ?
I'm 90% sure they use fly by wire throttle as well meaning a throttle body change for an aftermarket ECU ??

Mark

possibly the worst engine in the world for a works van, them fookin things drink fuel like its going out of fashion.

BigErn

That pickup would be ideal for you



And Im not talking about Lawnsys

tabetha

Fly by wire will be fine as you still get a variable resistance signal, if not easy to add a tps onto existing stuff.
