Sounds like good fun!
Can you use the TPS to bring in the NOS progressively?

Re: 1.8 zetec Bonus Dirtbox Sleeper - 5/9 Nitrous oxide fitted
When the pulsoids are used progressively they are pulsed on and off, so it would be a case of building a circuit that increases the pulses as the TPS goes from 0-5volts (the pulsoids run at 12volts). I think i should do a little bit of research

Definitely 555 timer and a few other readily available components. Easy

Re: 1.8 zetec Bonus Dirtbox Sleeper - 22/9 Gotech Pro
Little update with pictures to follow.
Yesterday i made up two pig-tail looms for my gotech pro ecu, cannibalising an ofab loom in the process as i only had new plugs and terminals to go with the ecu,
Tonight i soldered in most of the wires onto the existing zetec loom with a couple of jumper wires to change it from sequential efi to batch firing on the injectors, and in such a way that if needs be, it can run on a DEEP ecu. Left to wire is the Tps, Cts, and IAT sensors but the engine does start and run, all be with my foot resting on the throttle pedal to slightly open the butterfly, the gotech pro doesn't run an ISCV!

So without a DBW TB, how are you supposed to manage a stable idle?

Re: 1.8 zetec Bonus Dirtbox Sleeper - 22/9 Gotech Pro
I've been away
And it'll be you and Dave because there's no chance of me being there Need to go back to a shorter gearbox because that one I've got is useless and I've got loads I want to do which I can't see being done this side of Christmas
You going to map the Gotech yourself?

Gotech is out, fudgekin thing! Probably the most un-userfriendly software in the world, made a tidy profit on it and going for megasquirt instead.
Also picked up a second 11lb nitrous bottle today to save on trips to get refills.
Further down the line were now looking at a st170 engine based on the fact the bottom end can take around 300bhp in standard form, and ignition can be retarded sufficiently to run a 100bhp shot of nitrous, and running throttle bodies.

Smo, yes the same seller, very good turnaround.
Today i fitted my WoN progressive controller so i can get more gas from a bottle, should help with traction issues when it kicks in too!
Also dummyed up the twin bottle mounting, the red and black looks pretty handsome i think.

mighty boosh themed drag bike!
datsun 240z, this is a real car folks!
Brians s**t bodged wiring meant he had to do another bodge as nitrous controller was blowing fuses lol
ratchet strap and hairy string around the nitrous bottle, as Brian cant even do a bottle bracket up right.
fudgekin hell
lovely Pod

accepted lol. Did you think it was a 1/4 mile car? Not really suited for that tbh, not enough power and gearbox is too long, 3rd for 60! But 1/4 days are fun. I don't see alot of point in cars that are only good for that thou tbh.
