As the title says ;D
Anyone on here done it ? Thinking about doing a system just wanted to know any "Been there done that" Info
I`ve read the articles in the various mags want to hear proper experiences as well though. Anyone bought an ECU Kit ? or a Ready built ECU from anyone ?
Any other pointers ? Cheers Dom

Thanks BGT Any Idea where he got the kit from ? and what kind of cost was it ? Cheers Dom Hotwire ;D May be able to do something on getting kits if you want ? save on postage etc if they are coming from the States Now I am doing a 4 pot I can seriously start looking at doing MS. It will also mean I have a spare car, so can do a system for the Kadett, then do the Audi at a later date once Kadett is up and running reliably. Cheers Dom

May be able to do something on getting kits if you want ? save on postage etc if they are coming from the States Thats a good point,.. the prebuilt ones that are on Ebay come up regularly,.. but I fancy building it myself (I have some pretty ninja soldering skills as I used to work in Electronics). I want the Ignition module as well, particularly if I'm going turbo route eventually...

Cool, I would want the whole lot as well, I want to be able to control Fuel and Sparks. If your the Electronics whizz then you could build mine for me too ;D Not my Strong point I have to admit From what I have read the simulator is worth getting, so you can bench test the ecu as you build it Interested ?

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.

As long as you can build them, I can buy them and you can sort me out later.... Not a problem ;D Sounds like a plan Get some prices sorted out for kits and we`ll get it underway then ;D I want 1x 4Cylinder kit and 1x 4cylinder that could also run 5 if you see what I mean ;o) Therefore I might need some extra bits that may or may not get used depending on 4 or 5 cyl configuration. I wonder whether we could sort out a kind of Retro-Rides "Group Buy" ? Get all the components/ kits over here and sort them out afterwards ? might get a discount on buying say 10 kits ? Worth a look ? Anybody be interested in that ? Cheers Dom

Actually finding someone who's done it umong all those who say they are going to do it seems -very- hard, and then the chances they've done it on the same engine as you...
There is a chap called Wardy on the XROC forum who's done a 2.9 Cologne. Also a few on the Volvo tuning forums.

David, I saw this post and thought of you! ;D ;D I have all the bits now too, apart from coolant and air temperature sensors. I plan to use Imp ones and so shall need to add resistors to the MS board, as you did originally. I'm
